Anybody know anything?
The horse has been relatively easy in the market recently and Rite Of Passage has shortened up considerably having done no more than you would expect him to.
No idea hope he is ok
I think Rite Of Passage is getting shorter because of
Tom Segal as well.As he likes this horse a lotAny news on when he race again does anyone know
That was part of the reason for the thread – there hasn’t been any. They stepped General Miller up yesterday having originally given the impression he was a two miler – which of course he still might be.
Not entered in the Supreme. Assuming he steps up in trip and flops he is then left with nowhere to go.
When are the entries out in the Neptune novices race
And he will not flop he is a top class horse

Today.
I am not saying he will do – I backed him for both races. What I am saying is it is stupid of the McManus team not to cover all options.
"He was on the BBC news at teatime!!
Really."
…………….yes, and, unbelievably, on an item about the country’s financial situation.
I found this particularly perverse of the BBC given their apparent lack of interest in horse-racing!

Read in the Weekender today he has a entry for the 2.35 Kempton on friday it is a 2m5 race.
David Duggan has just been on ATR putting this horse up as a bet without Dunguib – he really should do his homework.

Yes, what an idiot. Next thing we know he’ll be misspelling the horse’s name.
Well done Gus – given the extent of my mistake it must have been quite difficult to know what horse I was talking about.
If you think the two mistakes are comparable then you are obviously quite an expert where idiots are concerned.
I just think getting a horse’s name right, particularly in a thread’s heading, is pretty basic stuff, really. If it doesn’t bother you, fair enough.
Well was he just overrated? Perhaps.
The two inescapable facts are AP completely failed in his job to get the horse settled and connections made a massive blunder in giving the horse only one Cheltenham entry.
If they were so confident about the step up in trip surely AP should have let the horse stride on?
Not good enough on the day – not a bad race to be beaten in but doesn’t look to have much scope and the winner and the third are the horses to take out of the race (winner over fences and The Betchworth Kid when stepped up in trip).
Looked a hell of a messy race. I suspect he’ll be better in a more truly-run race but even so if he was as good as his reputation, you’d have hoped he’d overcome it.
Bot sure I’d be following The Betchworth Kid to anywhere except the poorhouse perhaps. He never won anything like the number of races on the Flat he should have and still looks to have problems with his attitude, I didn’t like the way he carried his head in the closing stages today.
