I was very surprised myself. Definitely something I'll consider going forward.

It was a good post - shows the different development of horses and the best novice hurdler isn't destined to be the best open chaser in two years time.

The only reason I can think is that the best novice hurdler are simply early developers

And 2 seasons later when they get to open company the more backwards late developer's are still improving and now better than them

Maybe that price as Willie said he doesn't think he'll have time to get a run into him before the TC ?
 
Down Royal have retweeted about an accident that's affecting traffic nearby. Most importantly I hope those involved are OK. This could potentially cause some NRs could it not?

Just proves that PTP form just can't be trusted. No comparison at all to the real thing.

Has he tipped them up specifically or just given a list of horses to follow? Tbf, if so, the list has made a good start.

I could be wrong but his tweet yesterday sounded surprised that it’d won on the day. So I think more like a horse to follow in that case at least.

Yeah,

If you don’t like small fields at Early Entries stage, at least target the problems that led to it.

Dont make one up that’s got nothing to do with it.

Maybe people don’t like running their very best stablestar horses at Haydock on potentially bad ground

or maybe their less interested when the Irish stars plan to come over and beat them.

or maybe they’re less keen - when there isn’t a gbp 1M bonus to go after :onthego:
 
Probably one for the stupid questions thread, but can a horse run in the Champion bumper after having a run over hurdles?
