Chablais

only what nicky wrote in his stable tour, was waiting for it to come out so will be backing tomorrow

meant to be very nice apparently the irish point to point people were raving about him the horse he beat fto easily was only beaten a couple of lenghts by first lieutenant make what u will of that

our mick sets a decent standard though after his second to backspin
very intresting to how chablais gets on

Yes should be a good race.

Very impressed with that today for a first run.

agree didnt bk him 2day bt bkd him when the meeting was called off at bangor gutted. lookd a strong ish race and they strung the field out.

also makes that champion court look abit good, u see court in motion win also? impressive

where will henderson run him cuz he's already got minella class in the 2m5?

Yes I have to admit I backed Chablais for the 2m5 race a couple of weeks ago I thought Minella Class would have been one for supreme but I'm not sure at all after last week!? Chablais didn't look like he would wan't 3 miles on a stiffer track though so I don't know!? Yes I backed Court In Motion and have to say it looks very good. I think he's going in the 3 miler though. Not sure if it needs soft which is my only concern.

Masterminded - not sure whether Court in Motion needs soft intrinsically, but trainer mentioned a couple of weeks ago that she prefers to run him on soft as the horse tends to land heavily. I would have thought he would take his chance in the 3  miler if the ground is no drier than good-to-soft; a firmer surface would be a concern.

court in motion 2012 rsa!

he clearly acted on the ground today whereas others did not and in that ground a big winning distance is the result.....i'd be concerned for this horse with regards to if it has to get into a battle....it was just a feeling i was left with a bit at exeter....he won that race ok but there was a horse half closing him down that day and i just got to wondering if he was enjoying being half shaken up by the jock that day.

FWIW this is the CHABLAIS thread..

apologies.....ok chablais.....not a good enough hurdler.

Won a decent race today I thought and is bound to improve his hurdling and in general. Only his first ever run on a racecourse.

record buy at the sales wuznt he? and i thought sybarite's form was pretty decent and the reformer is no mug. would have thought he'll come on a fair bit for his first run, interesting one imo

True his first run but we saw a trait where he did not pick his feet up at a few and at at least two he displayed that horrible bunny hopping action i bet that is a habit that will take maybe a little while to iron out......putting that into the context of a race being run at a much quicker pace in 8 weeks and i think he may have a few problems,huge potential though.

top class horse the best part was the way he travelled hes a beast he just doent respect hurdles arkle 2012 proper prospect

It is easy to be taken with how powerful a horse travels...but that standard of hurdling will always catch them out at the festival.

probably not going to run at the festival. not come out of his last race too well and is still a "baby" NJH.

aintree then dont worry MM he,ll be at cheltenham next season rsa chase

arkle acttually

Yep he will win the 2012 Arkle.
