Looks likely antepost Neptune favourite. |
|
By:
Not a novice after today, think they'll stay over hurdles for this season based on that.
|
|
By:

|

TD
 Only eligible for novice hurdles til 1st Nov i think...? Then chasing. |
|
By:
Oh right, cheers guys.
|
|
By:
will have no problems over 2m 2012 champion chase, future star.
|
|
By:
Loved the way he floated over his hurdles
|
|
By:
Erm, isn't captain Chris the one going chasing and only eligible for novices till the end of this month. The horse the thread is named after is a novice eligible for the seasons novice hurdle championship races
|

By:
won 2 hurdle races in france last season.
|
|
By:
Ah ok, now it makes sense
|
|
By:
"Silviniaco Conti will stay over hurdles for the foreseeable future after his impressive win"
 where now  |
|
By:
Champion [:x]
|

By:
PFN doesn't have a champion hurdle horse (unless you count Sanctuaire) so assume this would be his hope now. Still got a lot of improving to do, but you never know, I guess.
|
|
By:
getting very carried away i think.the betting told you captain chris needed the run badly he should of been a 1/2 shot yet it touched almost 9/4 and was hardly given a hard time was he
|
|
By:
Looked a horse capable of running in a decent all aged hurdle race already to me...
|
|
By:
Seen worse 100/1 shots for the Champion.
|
|
By:
Agree with that Barton Bank...
|
|
By:
he wont be shooting for the stars this year it will be a quiet one then arkle next year possibl;y
|
|
By:
i hope he does better than hlls bay. id be hoping a little more like reve de sivola
|
|
By:
What has Hell's Bay got to do with anything?!
Looked really impressive and jumped sublimely, can't agree enough with a previous poster who said he just floated over his hurdles. Really keen to see more of him. |
|
By:
persian war winner i think
|
|
By:
Oh sorry, fair enough. Just seemed a completly random comment!
|
|
By:
ah yeah. its ok. i was very impressed by the performance and i think they shud go for the challow hurdle with him. frascati park must be the mos frustrating horse to train ever
|
|
By:
The Challow is a novices' hurdle so he won't be eligible if what's posted above is correct.
|
|
By:
it is correct.the horse is only a nov till 1st nov
|
|
By:
rated 153 now.They might send him against Clerks Choice in the 4 yo hurdle at haydock. He would have a stiff task in the Greatwood off that mark
|
|
By:
oh yeah sh1t. so he cant go for a novice with him at cham then.hmm. id go for the 2 and a half mile race then but maybe the field will be huge because its a novelty

SILVINIACO CONTI, who earned rave reviews when winning the Grade 2 Totesport.com Persian War Novices' Hurdle by ten lengths last month, is set to take on more established opposition at Ascot on Saturday.
RELATED LINKS * Coral Hurdle race card * Haydock 4YO Hurdle card * Fixed Brush Hurdle card * Supreme Novice betting * Free bets The Paul Nicholls-trained French import has yet to be beaten in four outings, but will be tested like never before if upped in class for the Grade 2 Coral Hurdle at Ascot, in which last year's six-length winner Zaynar, former Champion Hurdle winner Katchit, Alan King-trained stablemate Karabak and Restless Harry also figure among the 16 entries. Zaynar, part-owned by bookmaker Victor Chandler, has been installed 9-4 favourite for the Ascot contest by Coral, which makes Silviniaco Conti next best at 4-1. Silviniaco Conti has a second-choice engagement at Haydock in the track's Betfair-sponsored four-year-olds' hurdle, where the horse to beat would be Clerk's Choice, who stormed up the rankings to a BHA rating of 162 after thrashing Barizan - also in the Haydock race - at Cheltenham in October. Haydock's other big hurdle on Saturday, a valuable fixed brushhandicap, has attracted 36 horses, none with more recent winning form than Grands Crus. He is expected to carry a penalty after justifying stable and market confidence at Cheltenham on Sunday. Coral Hurdle Sponsors bet: 9-4 Zaynar, 4 Silviniaco Conti, 5 Karabak, 6 Sentry Duty, 10 Won In The Dark, 14 Katchit, Restless Harry, 20 Ashkazar, Duke Of Lucca, 25 Alegralil, Kayf Aramis, Tasheba, 33 Black Jack Blues, Lough Derg, 50 Arcalis, 66 Afsoun. |

This horse is in no way a Champion Hurdler.
Market is up for the race on Saturday, btw. |
|
By:
wanna see him jump a fence would love to see him in the arkle
|
|
By:
special
|
|
By:
I rarely get carried away (was impressed at Chepstow) but that looked very very good.
Jumped like an old hand - sky's the limit, but what trip? |
|
By:
Honestly what i believe... He's a Kauto Star. Champion Chase, Gold Cup will win either in time.
|
|
By:
Nothing in that performance to put me off.
|
|
By:
poetry in motion....it is hard not to get carried away isn't it...must try though.
|
|
By:
Run him over 2 miles and see how he gets on. Nothing to lose.
|
|
By:
His jumping is just sublime, absolutely cruises over his hurdles as if they're not even there. If you watch the jockey, he barely even moves when he jumps, such is his fluency. A really exciting hoss.
|
|
By:
Would like to see him on an undulating track before i'd even consider the 10/1 for March.
But he surpised me today, thoroughly progressive. |
