bankit - some may be put in races where it's easiest for the owner to go and watch them run, he'd have more runners than Ricci at Doncaster for example - not saying that's the main consideration but might be a factor...

On a side note it really is going to be fascinating to see where WPM sends Wylies top rated novice hurdler Yorkhill (OR 154). On form he looks like he could run in either Supreme/Neptune, so does WPM send him against his hyped up (albeit impressive) Min or the 158 officially rated Yanworth? I think this decision is going to speak volumes to how good they think Min is and i'll be lumping on whichever horse they decide to avoid. This really is an usual circumstance as it will be the first time WPM doesn't have the odds on fav in one of the novice hurdles to possibly campaign Wylies horses against.
Whatever happens it is going to make for great fodder for the WPM/Wylie discussion.  |

Yorkhill may be highest rated that does not mean its the best. Bellshill may be considered the better of the two.

Easy to criticize the HoJo link now but it started with great success. Inglis Drever and Tidal Bay were the most notable but there were plenty more winners. I remember doing an analysis of which owners had the best return in prize money per runner and Ogden and Wylie were first and second 2 years in a row compared to others with a comparable number of runners. JP was usually at the bottom of the list.

May be right,I seem to recall Wylie saying earlier in season that Bellshill was the quicker of the two.??
I have a nice Min,Yorkhill double,but I did manage to cover Yorkhill for the supreme couple of weeks ago when he went very big on here. And he travelled so impressively in the mud at Sandown,takes a darn good novice to have done that imo. I think recent events suggest they may now think Yorkhill has the better chance over 2m against Min,and put Bellshill in the Neptune hoping he can put that last run behind him. Yanworth looks really hard to beat and it could be they think Yorkhill could upset Min. |

Don't get the fuss about Yorkhill over 2m, He made hard work of beating oo seven who is an out and out stayer.
Min ailtor and buveur d'air all look to have serious gears/pace which I think this one lacks a bit of. i'd look to place lay him. |

Yeah Budd I think Wylie said after Yorkhill win the Tolworth that Ruby told him he thought Bellshill had the more speed.

Of course he said that as he wanted a good ride in Neptune. But since then Yanworth ran his trial.
No doubt he'd go Neptune if Yanworth failed to show, but he has got the best 2M novice form imo and should go Supreme |

That's what i'm thinking at the moment. @simbog84 agree abut his win over OO Seven but the ground that day was atrocious and WPM has always said he'll be better on better ground. |
