Madison Du Berlais

Won one of the worse Hennesseys i can remember, beat a sick Denman at Kempton, and beat A horse that collapsed and died after the race at Aintree and was only second at kempton because it wasnt rode to win the race

Needs a handicap mark of about 150 to get back to winning ways

LOL!

I was on Madison on here at over 100s in that bad hennessey and if I remember rightly sick Denman was 2nd in the Gold cup in his next race and was getting beat at aintree by madison when he came down.  Both the beatings of Denman(who prob wasn't 100%) were off levels, so I will back him at Newbury getting almost 2 stone.

Denman on quickish ground at Aintree after the Gold Cup was never going to be a project, you think Nicholls might learn this season before sending the beaten of the two in the Gold Cup(Kauto 08, Denman 09.10) out at Liverpool.

I think in that Hennessey, the only Horse in the next 8 to finish that has won a race since was Monkerhostin.

Denman has been enigmatic since his illness and can run anywhere between 140-180

One last note about the sub standard hennessey. Big Bucks fell at the last looking held in third and Albertas run pulled up.  Think these 2 have done ok since!

Albertas run hardly picked up his feet that year and Big Bucks went back hurdling, as i said the horses nearest to him won 1 race between them after the race


Not saying he couldnt win a handicap again, but his rating needs, imo, to come down even more
