Just reverting to the horse in question what kind of masterplan do we think Lungo has in mind? The stable has gone badly down the pan in the last couple of years and even at its peak the typical profile was for a horse to win weak bumpers and novice hurdles then dramatically step up in grade and get beaten. The sum total of Berwick Law’s ability may be little more than a Carlisle Novice Hurdle.
stilvi, you may very well be right with this horse. Lungo is in decline and a number of owners have woken up to the true cost of ownership and poor returns.
I see Timmy got 20 days at Fontwell today for a quiet ride on Giffords (fined K4) in the bumper
Yes I spotted that but didn’t want to start a new thread in case of being shot down
I backed the horse, and was absolutely appalled by the ride, so much so that I couldn’t be happier that a big name jock like Timmy Murphy got a 20 day ban.
Now ask yourself Timmy, was deliberately cheating worth a 20 day ban?
I hope that the ban hits you hard in the pocket (though I doubt it), just like backing the horse hit me in the pocket.
Justice for a non trier at last.
Mike
ps: so looking forward to the opinions of you guys who think ‘looking after the horse’ is more important than trying to win the race. Credit to the Fontwell Stewards for having the balls to take actions, when so many courses are shi!t scared to do so
