I actually went for Getaway on my website, simply because the other runners all had question marks against them – the ground for Wiener Walzer, the lack of pace for Youmzain, the possibility of not having trained on for Kamsin. The only question with Getaway was a left handed track, but he handled it well enough in the end. What I couldn’t understand is that after the 2007 GP von Baden when Youmzain was 4th, Mick Channon said the lack of pace beat him. Well, with a smaller field this year, it was odds on to be a slow run race. I’m guessing that this race will put Youmzain spot on for the Arc though, and if I’m right in hearing that 40-1 is now available, I personally think that’s a cracking price, especially as the Arc is nearly always run at a good pace.
