I’ve said it already …. Ah Senor looks like like he wants further ….maybe 4 miles in April
Ah Senor is just the type of horse the new Grand National rules should stop from running.
Value Is EverythingNeeds to go back over hurdles
Has the engine to dominate the staying hurdle division
tbh I thought Ah Senor was jumping a bit better than usual until his bad mistake which might have been caused by an ITV camera extremely close to the fence. After that ran as though losing confidence or something slightly amiss. Maybe a hurdles campaign FF, If mine he’d go for condition hurdles he might be able to dominate easier than handicaps. Then miss Cheltenham and go over fences in the race he won last year at Aintree.
Value Is EverythingHe’s always been the same
On a good stride he’s a good jumper
But he’s not smart/nimble enough when on a bad stride
if he was to drop to hcap company he,’ll be going a stride slower , get his confidence back
Ahoy Senor seems like a horse that would benefit from arena schooling. Pop him over some gymnastic combinations or a short course that requires him to shorten and lengthen his stride, even some basics of dressage so he can use himself better. Of course for all I know they’ve tried this with him and it just hasn’t sunk in.
He just isn’t a natural , and at graded level of your a iffy jumper then your always going to struggle , he wouldn’t have been fit yesterday it’ll be again prepping for a spring campaign
Ahoy Senor’s handlers believed they had found the key to him – keep him on his left lead at take-off. They studied all the videos and worked out that his mistakes came when taking off on his right lead. My understanding of a rider getting a horse to change leads while riding short and at racing pace is non existent. Perhaps Miss Woodford or others can comment?
One of the dangers of working on a perceived flaw relentlessly is confusing the mind and diverting concentration on other matters – Ask Bryson De Chambeau. Such a shame for the big horse. He has so much talent. Scu says his next target is the Coral Gold Cup. I think that’s a huge mistake. The horse has trouble enough concentrating in small fields, and for all his normal front-running style, he will not be left alone in what looks at the moment to be a hot race. In my book he’d be fav to pull up.
Cobden can be deceptive in the way Carberry used to be. Often when he is sitting still in the late stages it’s because he knows there’s very little left underneath, and that’s what happened yesterday with Bravemansgame. He’ll come on a fair bit for that, but even if he wins the King George we ought to be mourning the quality of our staying chasers when our best horse, even first time out, is beaten by a virtual novice built like a police horse.
Having said that, Gentlemansgame is on the fast track to the top and how he is twice the price for the Gold Cup as his victim yesterday only God knows. The grey will be at much more of an advantage, even at levels, with that hill to face, while Bravemansgame will gulp and swallow hard when he turns into the straight. 25s is a daft price and you ought to take it.
