Anyone know anymore about the intriguing possibility of him being campaigned over timber this winter?
I’ve noticed him in a few antepost lists for the Festival (16/1 for the Supreme with most firms) but haven’t heard or read anything since Dermot Weld first raised the possibility in the summer.
He’s been gelded and will probably run in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas.
Cheers for that IC, that’s very exciting news!
The highest rated hurdler to go hurdling for a while I’d imagine.
He started favourite for the Derby in 2008 if I remember correctly!
Steppenwolfer, 3rd in the 2006 Kentucky Derby, got a couple of spins over the NSA fences last year. Didn’t do so well.
Yeah sure look at Washington Irving – 5th in the 2008 Derby, rated 112 on the flat and 132 over hurdles. No guarantee it’ll work
but
this
is
Dermot Weld we’re talking about.
Looks like we might have to wait another year to see him over timber.
DK reckons he needs more time to get over his tendon injury.
