PARCS BACK IN THE GAME
I’m also delighted that CHARLI PARCS has suffered no ill effects from his Kempton fall and he had a nice pop around the indoor school on Wednesday with Yogi Breisner just to see how he was and you would certainly say he looked particularly untroubled by what happened. We still haven’t made a decision about which race he will run in at Cheltenham because there are two issues, mainly on what the weather will be doing. I would imagine that DEFI DU SEUL and CHARLI PARCS would not take each other on, one would go for the Supreme and the other the Triumph, but who will go where, at this stage, I just don’t know. The advantage of Charli running in the Triumph would be that if the Festival started on slow ground earlier in the week, it might have dried out by Thursday in which case it’s worth him waiting for the better ground as we know that Philip Hobbs’s horse goes on the soft and it also gives us a bit more time after Kempton which will virtually be three weeks and while it’s only a few days, it counts for plenty. I’ll keep you posted on this one!
