Haiti’s Chase rating will prevent him running in veterans races, and his age next season suggests that Gold Cup’s & Grand National’s will be beyond him (I Am Maximus clearly an exception this year).

The stable has a bit of history in the Stayers Hurdle. Lisnagar Oscar won the race at 50-1 off a rating of just 146 (Haiti is currently rated 154 over hurdles 10lbs lower than his rating over fences).

As we’ve seen in the last month Home By The Lee (and recently with Sire Du Berlais) older horses can be really competitive in the stayers division.

I think they really should explore that avenue next season.
