Gus he is also 2 from 2 when contesting a hurdle after a flat run
It appears that whatever was ailing him last season and beyond is now well and truly behind him.
The plan would not have been half as likely if Ashkazar had run well against Franchoek at Chepstow where he was co-fav despite what Franchoek had previously achieved, so someone knew something.
The outcome of the Fred Winter is largely in Nichols hands, it would be some ask to carry top weight and win.whats his handle here he sounds like a clever chap.
His googles are all missing…….Proof!
Richard Hoiles I think you are a great presenter and knowledgeable pundit. I agree with your points re the race type.
hope you had a good day
All The Best
thanks Tuffers whats the name of the syndicate?
I think that any time I calculate the handicap, and its a close run thing – the booking of a claimer who has previously performed well for that horse or the yard is very significant.
Richard Hoiles
even if it was a significant factor and what Brennan said was right, the facts state that Tana River has won the marathon race at Sandown in 06 and was second in 07, fair enough it stayed 3m against very low class opposition over hurdles on the penultimate. I would have thought if the wind was a significant factor then you would have been hoping for a force 10 gale(head on). It might have won then.
lets just blame Holt
yes Yeats I suppose it is, I think that on all accounts the wind would have F/all to do with it unless the horse was affected by the wind "between his ears".
Jeez…The lengths you have to go to to be a pro pundit. I would love to see the data base on horses which ran poorly in the rain not the really fine rain that whets you through, the really heavy stuff that hurts when it hits your head. Thats a lot of research when you think that there are all sorts of rain.
It was a "MANIC SHOW THIS MORNING!"
I should have left it at sorry Hoiles/Holt for the mix up
I am pleased that I wasn’t hearing things though.
Sorry Holt/ Hoiles for the name mix up thingy.
The windy bit has done my head in, I had a horse that didnt like the wind,would hardly let you on it if it was windy – as scared of it as a crisp bag or a bird from a hedge.
If the fact is he meant as MCFCStan pointed out(get used to it Stan you are not going to Europe
) The wind would slow down the acceleration of the others when they emerged from the pack, Tour De France style.
