Nice treble for her and the final winner Caitlin’s Court could be family owned with James Frost listed as the owner. It is her father Jimmy I guess.
The aggregate prize money she won is even better than for winning a G1 in GB or IRE. Hope she stays healthy.sometimes you just to have accept that his time is up
Poor Ilikedwayurthinkin well at the last at Haydock today and was fatally injured. His first fall in his 50th start……
Sad to read this, he fell at the last after running such a grand race over 3m plus and being without a fall in his previous 49 starts makes matters even worse. One fall can end everything…..
RIP Ilikedwayurthinkin
You think it’s a fake, Gladders? Couldn’t find more on YT, but the source seems reliable. Like all my sources
Here is a short clip of his sole PTP run with a pretty bad mistake at the last that eventually cost him the race:
Yes, GM. I was (and maybe still am) in the same camp. But he is perfect since the new NH proper started.
All the best to him, hopefully he stays healthy.I’m not so sure about Cobden. First of all he’d have to spend some time an Hendo’s yard and he’s a bit of a version of a peak STD. Sometimes above him, sometimes below him.
If they’d be so much in love with Cobden why not considering moving the horse to Nicholls? Of course, that would never happen with Buckley as an owner.
Two other jockeys I might consider would be Gavin Sheehan, who can really ride, if he wants to and maybe young Freddie Gordon.Is JP happy about Jonbon making the regular mistakes at Cheltenham when ridden by Nico?
My take on the āriderless Constitution Hill jumping an obstacleā could be a stratagem to find a proper/suitable jockey to ride the horse.
Will this rule ever apply to him:
According to rule (L)17, the BHA may suspend a horse from running if its āprevious performances suggest the horse may be a risk to itself, to another horse or to a jockey; there are other welfare concerns; or any other circumstances where it would be appropriate to do soā.
Rule (L)21 also states: “Any horse suspended due to concerns with its jumping ability shall be required to pass a jumping assessment before its suspension is lifted.”
A spokesman said jumping assessments were dealt with on a ācase-by-case basis and engagement with the parties involvedā.
The excuse for Punchestown could have been travel, also two previous falls, not enough time to recover from them and so on…
I’ glad someone finally has the balls to criticize Nico. It was just about time.
Get him a new jockey and give him time to find his confidence back.Paddy Flood has a quite interesting opinion on CH and Nico’s style of riding him.
Starts at about 2:10 mins
Buckley has had some good horses but he has never had the quantity.
Can you name his last really decent chaser? I can’t, but I’m getting old. He’s not the owner to send them chasing at any price, he really cares for them. Maybe when the CH adventure is over, so will his involvement in Horse Racing.
JP finally understands that buying 3yo olds from Magnier brings him nowhere. He changed his policy some years ago, maybe after losing Sir Eric at Cheltenham, and has quite a few decent 2m4f to 3m2f types, to say the least.
Jonbon is running at his “home track” on Saturday. I think 4/1 is worth thinking about.
Why does the Hendo/RP mafia post a riderless Constitution Hill jumping an obstacle or just running loose?
Is this trustworthy proof that horses are okay after falling without having been checked by a vet or scanned afterwards?What are the pictures supposed to tell us? “Oh, look…. he’s just fine. He can take another fall. LOL”
No fences, no retirement and Sir Gino probably for the Christmas Hurdle:
