“I suppose the occasional good Flat horse is still seen over timber. But when you consider what happened to poor Sir Erec in the Triumph Hurdle, there is too much risk for not much reward to run a good Flat horse in the National Hunt arena”
It’s a pity Cliffs of Moher, Antony van Dyck and Sir Dragonet didn’t go over hurdles.
Le Divin Enfant 66-1 ew
Bit keen at Christmas (the horses with him fell out the back of the telly) and jockey stopped riding before the last, then started again when Talk the Talk fell but had lost momentum. I think he will do better next weekend.

Doctor du Mesnil 16-1 win b365According to Barry Connell you won’t have to wait long to see a nice example of a canter- it’s how Marine will win at the DRF according to him. Here’s a wee song for you Barry:
He’s a blocky little chap and reminds me a bit of Tax For Max. Maybe more for Aintree than the Triumph, if he’s up to G1s at all, but anyway.
I’ve reinvested £1 ew at 10-1 on The Enabler in the 3.25. Betting says no but he has to place to qualify for the NH chase at the festival and he’s not a bad horseI’ll try Kai Lung in the first at Naas today, might not like the ground but enough hope in the pedigree to suggest he should manage, had an ew tickle on the Triumph at 50s too.
“whilst i just cant blame Nico for the injury, what were they thinking. The horse looked uncomfortable throughout. He just wanted to get on with his job and run.”
Maybe his pelvis was starting to go from the off. Remember Douvan running and jumping abysmally in the QMCC and having a fractured pelvis.
“Hurdles being bypassed due to a low moon!”
That’s my nomination for comment of the year Nathan.
“a groundsman laying on his side with his whole arm up to the shoulder”
Good grief. Got to be a collapsed drain or something, they should abandon straight away, light or no light. Can’t guarantee another section won’t go.
Watching the Opening Show this morning Ruby went as close as he could to saying Flooring Porter wouldn’t be trying a yard.
Will Southwell racecourse still get their star turn? Or will we hear some waffle about him “schooling so well over hurdles that he just has to run in the Kingwell” ?
