Very disappointing run today even if the stable’s horse are not running that well.
I had it down as a possible Festival winner but after today I doubt it would win an ordinary handicap.I would agree the horse isn’t that good (not exactly the first dud JP has bought) but he should still have won today. Very poor again from AP.
Not impressive but looked like much like My Tent or Yours being turned over at odds-on, AP was teaching the horse to settle. JP has plenty of horses in the two mile handicap hurdle category so can manipulate the weights accordingly for the Betfair Hurdle.
Strikes me AP is always teaching horses to settle – perhaps there is a common denominator? Didn’t need to do it so much when it was a case of point and fire for Martin Pipe. If you are referring to My Tent Or Yours being turned over by Chatterbox that was another from the AP woeful scrapbook but I suspect you will find that Chatterbox is stones better than yesterday’s winner.

Said it a few months ago but Regal Encore wants further, which is why I backed him ante-post for the Neptune rather than the Supreme. The fact that AP was teaching him to settle only confirms my confidence in this.
At least forum member VtC backed the winner at a whopping 200/1 on the rails.

Don’t be surprised to see Regal Encore improve significantly for Newbury’s big handicap in February and/or Cheltenham in March!
Trainer of the winnr Sandy Thomson has hit some form all of a sudden. He had a winner of a bumper at Newcastle yesterday in Seldom Inn and I can’t remember him having a bumper winner before.
Sandy often watches Musselburgh races from the same bit of the stand as I do, and can be seen going through the agonies as he paces up and down during races where he has a runner. Nice to see him amongst the winners after a slow start this autumn.
I’m trying to think of that horse [grey?] of Hendersons that got beat at Kelso prior to Cheltenham a few years ago. Horse that beat him was a great big thing [grrr; another senior moment].

Zaynar 1/14 in the 2010 Moorebattle Hurdle.
The great big horse horse that beat Zaynar was Quwetwo, not seen after a 15 lengths 6th of 7 in a Grade 1 at Aintree in April of that same year with Zaynar in third place. Quwetwo was 4 from 7 in a truncated career and presumably devilishly difficult to keep fit. His recrod outside Grade 1 was 4 from 5 and the defeat came on debut in a bumper. A case of what might have been?

How do you work that out as it had only run and won 2 weeks before. Had it done no work at all after its previous win?- Total Posts 17716

I know someone. They said that particular horse had been stood in it’s stable since one Monday in mid to late November, his work rider was’nt allowed take him out in the mornings since then I think because the owner did’nt want to risk the horse getting injured.
He was told that this horse is too good for morning work. Think there have been a few injuries in morning work that’s put the owner off it.
