Wow, thanks for that Tom Bellamy stat pilgaric. That’s even worse that Jonjo (Snr) used to have back in the day! It’s helping put me off Nick Rockett, though I do have the sniff of him being like Al Boum Photo in terms of how he has been campaigned for this. Surely if they are that worried about his prep then they’d not run him??
Other interesting minor details from the decs include:
Jagwar (who I cannot have) – first-time cheekpieces.
I Am Maximus – second-time cheekpieces, first time since December 2022 in a beginners’ chase.
Beauport – first-time tongue-tie!
What do we make of that Jagwar headgear switch?
Thanks to peter.h for engaging on his Real Whacker reasoning earlier int he week. Much appreciated and (I hope) the type of respectful and fascinating debate we can get more of in this forum.
