Too great a Cause for Game
It was a bit of a cat and mouse race and a better pace would have suited. He's an honest horse. He'll go now for the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury on February 9th. We'll look for something in Cheltenham after that. A faster gallop would have suited him as he'd have something to race at.
Head-gear helps in Blissful gamble
At no stage did I think he was going to win. In fairness though he probably doesn't want the ground that heavy.
Easy for Barney as he lands the bets
He had a leg and he was off for a while. On his first run back at Christmas he ran well. I thought he wouldn't be too far away today. The owner was at an engagement party last night and he couldn't make it today.
2 from 2 for Suntiep
That's his game . jumping and staying. He's a real out and out stayer. We'll be aiming him at that sort of trip again. We'll probably be looking at Fairyhouse at Easter for him,.
Alderwood takes care of business
We won't be in a rush back with him after that slog. (AM & EM)
Rich Revival well-named
It's nice to come up here on a Sunday and get a good pot like that. We thought his opening mark was a bit harsh but Noel O'Brien (the handicapper) obviously got it right.
Dream stuff for Reddington
John's a building contractor in London and he's forty. This has always been a nice horse. He's just been a backward sort and it took a while to get him out.
