Anyone know why the jockey change with First Figaro?

Coeur Blimey... the new Cue Card . Unheralded yard , won last time out beating the standout favourite in that and this race, unexposed and price reflects a jockey that you wouldn't put your mortgage on . A lot of decent bets at antepost prices on this and the yard can not see it out of the frame .G/L all.

Ground gone against him Ming?
Couer Blimey Gardner said: "We really don't know where we are going at this stage, but he definitely won't go to Cheltenham unless the ground is soft and even if it is, he might not go anyway. "I'll have a chat with the owners and see what they want to do. The entry stage is March 1, so I'll see if they want to pay the entry fee or not. "The Champion Bumper is certainly not the be all and end all. We have a very nice young horse and the last thing we want to do is ruin him. "Even if they call the ground good to soft at Cheltenham, you know there'll be some quicker parts. You can go there with a nice young horse, but then after running down that hill on quick ground, in the blink of an eye you don't have a nice young horse any more. "Unless the ground is described as soft, he won't be going." "Without wanting to sound too clever, he ran as we expected at Ascot," said the Devon-based trainer. "He ran a nice race at Uttoxeter, but he was a bit green and got a bit lost and we knew he was better than he showed that day. "That's why we decided to go to Ascot with him, which is not something I would do unless I knew I had a good horse as we don't get one very often. "He hasn't had any leg problems, but he does seem to be at his best on soft ground, so that's what we'll be sticking to. "If we miss Cheltenham, we might be more likely to get soft ground at Punchestown. |

Augusta kate
I was at Sandown when the dam of Augusta kate last ran. A friend of ours knew colm murphy the trainer so we went over and had a chat he told us that his mare feathard lady wont get beat and is a very special mare, a modern day equivalent of annie power ! He said that she was bone idle and not a looker but she had something very special when she went to the races. Fast forward Augusta Kate the daughter of feathard lady is a carbon copy of her with the mares allowance she will take some stopping |

No words of thanks for shortlisting 4 horses and giving you the first, second and fourth placed runners?

I was about 10 foot infront of the finishing post, was sure Battleford got up for it! If it 2m 90yards I'd have had a nice wedge to go home with too, great race though
Wasn't too pleased with the First Figaro ride by saw last night Davy lost an iron so cant be too disappointed |

Gutted is not the word - Really thought we were cleaning up on Battleford there...
Certainly means Lucky Pass as a horse to follow... |
