Whatever happened to Hoof It? The horse ran a superb race and looked really good when an unlucky third to Dream Ahead at Haydock and ran poorly twice since.
After Mick Easterby enjoyed watching Shadows Lengthen win at Sedgefield last week, he was interviewed on Atr and said he thought Hoof It would return better than ever this year. Sounded like hes had a small operation (wind?)but Mick seemed revved up about him. Mind you, he looked in especially good form. Both still alive and kicking.
Great news thanks for the reply, backed him his last 3 races but I still have faith in the horse, you could tell that something was amiss on its last 2 outings and I really look forward to backing it again whenever it next races as that turn of foot 2 furlongs out at Haydock was superb.
A big prize in him this season if they can work out his optimum conditions. He doesnt stay 7 furlongs , isnt at his best on soft ground and isnt quite quick enough over 5f.
Stupidly or not, I’m going to have to have a cheeky punt on him today.
He looks a horse whose best days are behind him and he couldn’t pass Borderlescott today.
A bit of a shame, as his win off ten stone in the Stewards Cup was amazingly effortless really and he looked special that day. That bought me a lot of trinkets and firewater that day!
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
