Kate and Andrew Brooks haven’t jumped ship yet as far as I’m aware. Not that they seem to have anything out of the ordinary now.
I’d like to see the old Nicholls. To me he just seems to have mellowed too much and maybe the edge he once had has gone.
When he’s asked about Cheltenham these days, he often says that its not the be all and end all, he has re-prioritized etc. I totally get that that is the case but i’d just like to hear him fight his case more, bang the drum over his achievements. Owners want to chances at the festival.
I honestly refuse to believe that he isn’t still as capable as any trainer out there.
I also think that he is brilliant at bringing hoses along slowly. Clan des Obeaux, cyrname, Pic d’orhy, Silviniaco Conti – horses that weren’t winning the supremes or arkles but were made into G1 winning chasers. Maybe people want the more instant success that the Skeltons/Mullins teams seem to be able to deliver.
