We know that you lot are all over this place, so let's not beat around the bush.

Do me a cheesy quaver would you pal, put us out of our misery :-

Bristol De Mai or Peace and Co ?

I am all over Bristol De Mai to be honest and as you have ridden em both, simply drop us a line and tell us which one to lump on.

Much Appreciated

I think it's safe to assume BJG will be riding Peace And Co and DJ will ride Bristol De Mai.

I am fully aware that BJG will be riding P&C - as he is indeed the retained rider for NH, my question was simply, who's the best of the 2.
I have since recieved a private message from DJ's milkman who tells me that he has been told (in complete confidence I must add) that DJ thinks that P&C is a dog who got incredibly lucky... and that BDM is indeed the real deal.

Your welcome. Surprised

Thanks for the info Sheikh. I will lump on accordingly.
Please pass on my appreciation to the milkman.

Didn't he answer that question at Chepstow when he said that Bristol was a mudlark who would get shiit out on good ground?

His trainer said at the time he would be fine on decent ground.

I'd rather take notice of the man aboard especially given that Twisters will convince himself of what he wants to be the case. My view is I'd like to see him on decent ground before committing but on soft round I think he will take some beating.

Just saying what he said eternal, choose to believe him or not,that's the choice. Don't think I would always trust trainers myself,but if he were entered on decent ground I would not be worried about backing him. Think he could be a real goodun,especially when he goes chasing.

Peace And Co has yet to prove he can handle quicker going yet. They both might be fine on it, they both may not. I've always believed if you look that good on soft going you love the soft, and I doubt be as good on the quicker surface.

I know it was officially given as soft when Peace won at Doncaster but I think it was slightly better ground than that.
Report brandyontherocks January 29, 2015 6:26 AM GMT
Alleged, all horses have a preference. Good uns might be able to cope but they are better on one than the other. A horse can not be as affective on soft as they are on fast, or vice versa.

True Eternal but the going will 'probably' be very different comes Triumph day.
