Hills and Johnston talking about Awzan on ATR

Have you a link - couldn't see anything on the ATR website

nope....

basically

MJ: Confident, will take all the beating, fit and ready, will stay a mile maybe even more. Outstanding chance.

RH: Ditto.

Johnston said it would have no difficulty staying a mile amnd was also talking in the same way about Attraction and Hills would not swap ip it. It was quite compelling. It is unbeaten after all.

not quite so about attraction ,he said IF he gets it to the races it will win but dont bet it before ,so the 6/1 on offer at easter turned into 5/2 on the day . dont know what the exact prob was but mj is as honest as they come so if they say its going close it will take a good un to stop it .

heres hoping ;)

Old news. He wrote an article in the Daily Epress on friday. He's trained 4 horses for the 2000, 2 winners, a second and a third. (if I remember correctly) He reckons trhe FAV is more of a Derby horse. Don't expect the 10/1 come the day.....

I'm sure he is right about the Fav' being a Derby horse,thing is SNA has the class to win the 2000 on the way to Epsom.

Its not 'Sea The Stars'.... I say beware the hype of SNA and speculative win lay SNA for 2000 and Derby - development early season 2---3 a big unknown before we hit the turf in ernest (salivates).....

the list of 'sure thing' juveniles turned failed clacisists is long... many horses such as Awzan very much in the mix.

Looks a decent e.w. bet at 10-1.
Will shorten if Hills rides him rather than Arcano, who he partners in a gallop this week.

Johnston v Meehan.
I think I Johnston is the more realistic of the two.
