Just wanted to bring this to the top.
Has anything been said post-Newbury?
If anyone close to the NJH yard has a fitness bulletin, my pocket would appreciate it!
Thanks

a bit sore with brusing but nothing serious. Don't throw away your voucher for Cheltenham, but more likely to go for aintree now where the track will play more to his strengths.

Where have you got that info from Bell?
Report bellfunk February 20, 2012 10:20 AM GMT
someone connected with the yard.

Cheers Bell,
Not what I wanted to hear with a 25-1 Supreme voucher in the book, but it's better to know the truth
Report Shakepseare's Sheriff February 20, 2012 4:09 PM GMT
I have heard also about Darlan....not anyone connected, but usually a very reliable source.  Said that Darlan is absolutely fine and that the Supreme is still the plan....??..I wonder why NJH has not said anything about him....usually connections like to come out and say if the horse is ok after a fall like that

Given the speed with which Spirit Son was laid on here from the same yard, it's probably safe to say that Darlan is not deffo missing the festival at this stage :)

If the owner was anybody else then the talk already might be about Aintree. Think JP will be very keen to run at Cheltenham if at all possible

The silence is promising!Rumour has it the owner likes a bet.

Like i said, don't throw away your Cheltemham voucher yet, but they won't risk such a talented horse if he isn't 100% for the supreme.
I'm also on at 20-1 so it's not pocket talking, but they need to gauge his confidence after such a nasty fall, and as he's on the "easy" list for a little while, it will take time to find that out.

bellfunk, we know 'it's not pocket talking' cos you've already said that it's from 'someone connected with the yard' Mischief

I have 32's on this horse placed  15th Nov after reading an interesting write up on the OLBG site. I agree with Wannamaker the silence is encouraging but have placed a saver on Tetlami in case the horse doesn't run. GL all.

Was at Newbury last week and this horse was absolutely cantoring at the time. Glad to hear Darlan is okay as he looked a real prospect last week. I have no interest financially but would be interested if he became a confirmed runner.

ABSOLUTELY CRUISING!!!!
Report ACStafford February 21, 2012 12:00 PM GMT
Certainly looked the winner when he fell. Lets just hope it hasn't damaged his confidence.
Report kingG111111 February 21, 2012 12:02 PM GMT
