I hope NC wins, but he won't be carrying my money - I do not wish to put the mockers on it - because the two I had they fell by the wayside prior to the race already.

I kept the faith and with a bit better jumping would have been a good 2nd to a outstanding mare. Glad I kept the faith and he ran a blinder couldn't have theif turning it around and was very surprised to see so much cash come for the new one!

yes mistake 2out and mistake last would've finished close 2nd. Expected more from IT but eventually the class G1 horses finished the first 5 home so i'm happy with that, it would've been a horror if any of the Hargam or Campings etc were even in sight.

Yeah I said to my mate before the race and seeing the cash pile in for the new one that I would have been gutted if he won! But the best horses fought it out and finished in the 1st 3 and now no doubt we can look forward to nichols go up in trip for the world next year and as a few thought and the way he finished off the race today then he will have a great chance! But before then I fancy him for Aintree if they go for that and they keep Annie for punchestown! But after today and there antics with vautour God knows what there plans are lol

after what happened with Vautour, nothing is safe, not even Faugheen who might go WH instead of sending AP or instead of sending him chasing for GC. But back to The Canyon, I don't think he stays mate, I really don't, he's a specialist 2 miler who could win weaker affairs over 2 and half but his best is over 2 no doubt in my mind. If he stays over this distance he'll face many other good horses so they might go WH route with him who knows after what happened with Vautour..

Awesome performance by AP, with or without Faugheen, but will she race on next year being so fragile?

How much they cried today Ruby and RR I don't think they'll ever send her racing in such a race again, they'll be desperate if she loses so probably they'll retire her and make them babies.

again, confirmed not a freaking stayer, thats why he lost the Neptune. He's a flat horse who has high finishing speed so he'll struggle over trips longer than 2 and half or when faced against fastly run races over the minimum trip that put emphasis on stamina rather than speed, like he has encountered in his last 2 mile races.
He also jumped markedly to his right very early in todays race so the season might've taken its toll, they should've waited for P'town in hindsight. I wonder if Mullins will continue to experiment with him over further or will he just accept what he is and maybe send him back over flat. |
