Slow overall time compared with 68 rated h'capper later. Put a number on where he will be later this year NOW. Don't wait for more form/times. Got to be listed + for me. Highly likely group horse.Think he's a stayer but with a decent gallop should run a big race off this markhttps://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31789425/french-invasion-hcappervaseleger-what-do-u-think?post_id=562976361#562976361Think he's a stayer but with a decent gallop should run a big race off this markTue, 28 Feb 2023 06:39:08 -0600It is a really open race, mighty rivers form is pretty solid imo, looking forward to see how the Johnston horse runshttps://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31789425/french-invasion-hcappervaseleger-what-do-u-think?post_id=562976329#562976329It is a really open race, mighty rivers form is pretty solid imo, looking forward to see how the Johnston horse runsTue, 28 Feb 2023 05:35:15 -0600Yes, dealer, a trappy little affair. Hugh Taylor tipped the 'rag' Corsican Caper lto when the pace scenario probably didn't suit, but higher grade this evening and he hasn't kept the faith. So not sure any of them can be ruled out.https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31789425/french-invasion-hcappervaseleger-what-do-u-think?post_id=562976323#562976323Yes, dealer, a trappy little affair.

He's progressed very quick since. Don't think they are bothered about h'cap mark. Would probably have run somewhere up North if that had been the case. Wouldn't be surprised to see him in Dante. Stayers have won it or gone well.

It then took them another 5 months to get him to the track.Maybe he was so big and weak as a 2YO that he wasn't showing anythinhttps://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31789425/french-invasion-hcappervaseleger-what-do-u-think?post_id=562882489#562882489Just had a look, he was already in training with the Johnstons when he was sent to the HIT sales and they bought him back.
