Fortria Chase 2009

[Imperial Call]

(2:30) 310E Ladbrokes.com Fortria S’chase (Grade
2) €29,295.00 ( 2m – 5yo+ )

1 Big Zeb(162) (CAMurphy) – BJGeraghty 11,12
2 Carthalawn(157) (CByrnes) – NPMadden 11,10
3 Watson Lake(150) (NMeade) – PCarberry 11,10
4 Made In Taipan(146) (TMullins) – DNRussell 11,07
5 Holly Tree(135) (ESheehy) – DJCasey(C) 11,04

Should be straightforward for Big Zeb IF he puts in a clear round. He clearly possesses an awful lot of ability but his jumping can let him down badly. He’d have beaten Master Minded at Punchestown had he not tried to take the last fence with him. Made In Taipan had every chance when he came down last weekend and he can chase him home.

Any idea why Barker (held an initial entry) has bypassed race?

Watch out Master Minded!!

Willie said that Barker just wasn’t ready yet!

Nice return to action from Big Zeb, confirmed he is Ireland’s leading 2m chaser (although actually Barker is still unexposed and could be very good)

Does anyone know if Catch Me is ok after his fall later in the afternoon?

He got up and walked away back to the stables under his own steam

Good news; thank you..saw the replay on ATR and it said he was still down.
