Very good to see the horse win again yesterday.
A very good horse, and one that i have always liked an awful lot.
Full of ability and determination too.
His jumping over the bigger obstacles looked very good apart from 1 mistake.
I think Henry Daly said another novice chase and then back over hurdles, probably for the Aintree Hurdle in April. However if he managed to win another novice chase as easily and impressively maybe those plans could change. I think Henry Daly’s stance was that Mighty Man would have an easier time in small field, slowly run novice chases than in races like the Long Walk Hurdle taking on Big Bucks. I think you have to say its smart thinking and good placement from Daly. A similiarly good jod being done with Possol going from Fences to Hurdles I might add.
Mighty Man was a pleasure to watch at Hereford – super round of fencing and the only mistake an over-jump.
I hope they stick to the original plan.
Very smart thinking by Henry Daly as Doug says; and so long as Mighty Man wins no more than two novices’ chases this term, he’d still be permitted to run in at least one graduation chase at the start of his 2010-11 campaign, rather than have to be plunged straight into either a tough handicap like the Hennessy or a Graded conditions event. Well done that man.
