Anyone know much about this one? I have been waiting to see him out since I saw his sale result. I understand he won his point to point pretty comfortably. He's entered in a novice hurdle race at Bangor tomorrow over 2 1/2 .

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? |

By:
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.

By:
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..
|
|
By:
apologies.....ok chablais.....not a good enough hurdler.
|
|
By:
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.
|
|
By:
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
|
|
By:
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.

By:
top class horse the best part was the way he travelled hes a beast he just doent respect hurdles arkle 2012 proper prospect
|
|
By:
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.
|
|
By:
 probably not going to run at the festival. not come out of his last race too well and is still a "baby" NJH. |
|
By:
