GRANDOUET........misses Champion Hurdle due to interrupted preparation. "He's an out-and-out two-miler so therefore Aintree (two and a half miles) isn't a realistic option"
What does Barry ride in the Champ Hdl ? |
|
By:
Hendo said he probably won't have a ride. I wonder if he might ride Celestial Halo if Nicholls runs 4 as planned with Walsh on Fly.
