Well done winners

I know she’s a conditional so its to be expected to some extent and the horse does like to get on with things but really poor ride on Valadom I thought. He basically had an uncontested lead, she needed to save more petrol in that ground, no need to go 20+ clear at one stage
January 8, 2022 at 16:23 #1577139Aso made a bad mistake at the second fence and to my mind was never on an even keel afterwards. He made at least two other poor jumps as well. Maybe he hated the ground.
Agree it was not a great ride on Valadom but I tend to forgive mistakes like that from an inexperienced conditional. Having said that, it was not pleasant to see the horse absolutely out on his feet after the last.
January 8, 2022 at 16:59 #1577145Thanks! Lovely staying performance. Perfect with Valadom making it a real test. Really looked like Valadom was not for catching but it all changed quickly.

January 9, 2022 at 13:37 #1577250Hi all. Newly registered today but been following you guys for last few years.
Bet Prime Venture yday off the back of one of tipsters on here. A great ride by Adam Wedge. Peeps on here disappointed with Asos – Venetia did say before the race, on ITV, she thought he’d struggle on the ground and said he is prob the one horse in her yard that doesnt like it really soft.Cheers Wilts
