I was gutted to read that Mossbank won’t be seen out this season.
What odds about the Irish not winning a single one of their big non-handicap non-novice chases this season?
With Paul Nicholls scooping up the prizes with Denman, Neptune Collonges, Twist Magic and co plus The Listener making regular trips across the Irish Sea, it has to be a very real possibility.
Plenty of other trainers might turn to Ireland to escape clashes with Nicholls horses too. Just a thought.
whats the problem with him? rather a shame considering the probability of soft ground for him just about everywhere these days!
No further detail beyond it being a setback on the RP site.
It’s very unfortunate for connections; especially after War Of Attrition’s tendon troubles.
RP reports an undefined setback for Mossbank.
Whilst there could be a few interesting Irish novice chasers next season – especially in the staying division – some of the better second-season mob have also met with setbacks, and they might find it difficult to mount a challenge for top honours in Graded races in the coming season.
Even the prospect of not seeing some chasers is better than the prospect of actually seeing some flat horses, eh Grassy?
