For me the horse maybe needs some sort of headgear to get back to where he was...needs to find a spark from somewhere if he is to be competitive in the Arkle?? Have to say I have a small wager on him early season but feel he has been under performing....and now is the time to perk the horse up...he isn't a free goer so for me he may act well in the first time headgear???

Anyone else feel he needs this???

No menorah fans like this angle then...yogi sorts the jumping out and the headgear sorts the concentration out...easy

Better with landing gear imo.

I don't think the horse enjoys these small field novice chases. he's always been a better horse in decent sized fields where he is covered up.

Might sound crazy at first but the big field and faster speed of a race like the Arkle could actually help Menorah's jumping. Can't help feeling that sometimes, these minuscule fields don't help some horses - giving them too much time to think about what's ahead of them rather than being automatic.

Just a thought.

Worth a try as he's up against it in the Arkle even assuming he's gets round. The horse hasn't run a good race over hurdles or fences for at least 14 months.

Yeh think its worth a shot as think he isn't performing to the same high level he was...personally if he doesn't put them on he cannot win for me...

but headgear can work the oracle with some and is something I like with types like him...just might perk him up and make him concentrate....
