GM23 – He doesn’t have the speed of CR, I think if he held onto him for longer CR would have beaten him further as it would have turned more into a speed test so he thought the only way to win was to drag the speed out of them given that Montreal’s two runs as a two year old were over 1m whilst the first time CR went further than 7F was at Chester last time out.
CR still has an entry in the St James’s Palace and Aidan has spoken that he believes he has the speed to drop back to 1m whilst Montreal holds an Irish St Leger entry and with him being by Sea The Stars out of a dam that has a lot relations that have won over 2m on the flat and over hurdles I would expect to see him progress more as he goes up in trip.
