As Glad posted:
“There are two questions: firstly, how much of that ability does he retain and, secondly, can he still jump? This evening’s performance goes some way towards answering the first of those questions but does nothing to address the second.”
As I think I posted on some thread or another, Henderson and Buckley must have been tearing their hair out. Because when you consider how weak the Champion Hurdle is this year, the horse would absolutely hack up in it if he could jump.
But can he? We are still none the wiser.
Watching Buckley’s interview on SSR afterwards, I got the impression he favours a Flat campaign.
