Steve Mellish on RTV suggested that the jumps season should start at Cheltenham and run for just two months.
He did the same thing with Shiskin in to save him for Cheltenham last year ….that went well , it’s only good in places to , is he pulling all his horses ? , if I was a owner of be asking why he,s not protecting my horse to
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
To give a sense of balance of opinion, I am in favour of top trainers taking out horses of races for welfare reasons whenever they like as they know more about training horses than I do. ;o)
At least we now have Brewinupastorm and Goshen to watch. Could be entertaining with these two “characters”.
Mike, if thag constitutes as “welfare” when he ran on spring g/s then jumps racing would be aswell calling it a day
I’d love to see Goshen win …. then hear Moore say he,d have beaten CH anyway
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
Good to soft, with good in places is a real concern? Then take him to Haydock in December and February
It would be raining Ruby ….he can’t get wet …I’m sure if the ground is similar in March he,’ll not run either …
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
When I first got into racing I used to love staying in on a Saturday and watching all the jumps racing, there was something I found so enthralling about it, there were 1 or 2 small fields on a Saturday but if memory serves me right they were only when you had a horse like Sprinter Sacre in the race. Maybe I just didn’t pay close enough attention but I can’t say I remember this many non runners because of good (ish) ground 10 years ago.
Similar ground at Punchestown today and Henry De Bromhead took out Journey With Me. Won’t find too many moaners about that on here ;o)
Goshen wants it bottomless, doesn’t he?
Btw, this Jumps course was the circuit some were advocating running Champions’ Day on the Flat on just over a month ago because it’s always too Soft on the Flat course by then.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"It’s not a welfare issue as such though Mike as Henderson would run him on the same going at Cheltenham in March.

I was disappointed. How long is he going to wait to start the horse over fences? I can’t believe it was fast ground at Punchestown.
He does have an entry in the Drinmore but he is not likely to be going there now.
