NON-RUNNER NO BET ALL RACES AT CHELTENHAM
The Triumph has been an abysmal guide recently but I was
impressed with Penzance and Faasel this year, and they could
be the best of the home defence if progressing about 14lbs
or so.
Harchibald will be the most talked of horse all winter I
feel, and he is fantastic for the sport - "will he, wont he"
get up the hill ? I think he will this year but he is the
ante post each way certainty of the meeting at current
prices. He travels too well to be beat by too many horses.
The real buzz for me though is waiting for the decent bumper
horses to go novice hurdling, and the hurdlers going novice
chasing, and wondering which horses are going to make your
jaw drop.
Its nearly August, so in a couple of months we will see the
return of the quality, I cant wait.
Surely the chinks in Harchibalds armour are well known
now by all the jockeys and trainers alike. Therefore tactics
could be used against the horse next year. IMO carbery did
the best he could to hold the horse together this year.
Although he travels well he doesn't seem to like 'being
asked the queston' and it rarely happens at Cheltenham that
a horse just 'travels well' to the line and wins. Without a
doubt talented but I couldn't put my faith in him. I prefer
the head down battler types
The reason Hardy Eustace doesn't win as many races as
Istabraq is two-fold. Firstly, he isn't as good as Istabraq
(Avro, i can't believe you rate Harchibald better in terms
of ability than the great one!?!) and secondly and most
importantly he comes from the Lance Armstrong school of
training. In other words, he is trained with a view to being
at a peak for one race a year and one race only. I'm a big
fan of Brave Inca and believe he could easily win a Champion
Hurdle if he jumped better but Hardy is a horse i wouldn't
lay at any price. He is the most likely of the Champion and
because of the way he is trained he's going to be a good
price.
