Interesting that RW has publicly observed that he doesn't think PC jumps fences fast enough to win an Arkle. As fas as I'm aware, Ruby hasn't ridden in a race against PC over fences, so who told him that, JM?

Probably his old man Festivalfanatic.

I hope you will all confirm not, but is there even a remote chance he could pull the plug on fences and backtrack to the Champion Hurdle?

Donald McCain said the Champion Hurdle wasn't an option in his QA last night I believe

Thanks for that clarification resner.

I can't fathom why Donald McCain is dithering on the issue as to which race Peddlers Cross runs in. If the horse is showing positive signs at home then given the choice of a fast paced Grade 1 Arkle or an equally competitive Grade 2 Jewson I would expect the horse to be aimed at the higher class race. Plenty of class & stamina required to win an Arkle judging by previous winners My Way De Solzen & Tidal Bay. If the horse isn't showing the right signs in his home work then he shouldn't run in either race.

it could of course be one massive ruse and he's always going to run in the arkle,perhaps they want the SS camp to think that at least that's one less danger to worry about( not that i think that the SS camp would be scared of anything anyway) but i just think that by all the negative talk they are perhaps trying to take all the pressure off him by talking down his chances more and more....personally i hope he runs and kicks SS ar5e into shredded duck...but that's just me

Don't forget the Peddlers record at the festival the last 2 years...... ran on with great turn of foot to win the Supreme and then the only one to get anywhere near HC openly observed as the next quadruple winner of Ch Hurdlers.
Whats has SS done at HQ in the festival ? What has this horse ever done wrong at the festival... He will be there, 8/1 will look pretty big this time next week. ! |

8-1 not looking so big now!rw was right!

I suspect the biggest influence on the decision to choose the Jewson has been JM.
