I thought the same the mole, does seem potentially a step too far. That hasn't stopped a prominent tipping service sticking him up all the same.

He ran at the festival and has just landed a decent pot at aintree. What do you need to do to earn a break from P J Hobbs?
|
|
By:
Why wouldn't he? £27,000 and he's 'backed up' before.
|
|
By:
good job hes not human, he would have to work 5 days a week
|
|
By:
Not the best jumper either (although he was on the receiving end of a rare competent Dickie Johnson ride on Saturday) - another tough jumping test just 4 days later doesn't seem right to me.

By:
Will be having a long break after today. Why not make hay whilst the sun shines as he is in form.
|
|
By:
Good luck Roger. Hope Johnson doesn't wrestle him to the deck today.
|
|
By:
He'll only have run five times in 12 months? Hardly Commercial Flyer stuff.

Many horses don't run at Aintree after a good festival run Brev - to win a competitive handicap at Aintree then be dragged out 4 days later seems excessive to me. Maybe I'm wrong.
|
|
By:
did he back up after performing in similar class race before Brev ? surely he has just had two tough races. That said, if Hobbs is happy then maybe the horse is raring to go and he knows best etc
|

By:
He was second and then fourth in Class 3 hurdles within three days, receiving a poorly judged ride on the second run. I take onboard the Dickie factor, but that can be levelled at almost anything het gets a leg over on a daily basis.

Whatever happens today, Hobbs is surely one of the worst trainers in the NH sphere at placing his horses?

By:
Despite the odd 3 duck eggs project in recent seasons, my experience with him this year has been that he just keeps running them until something sticks. Certainly not too concerned with marks etc.
|
|
By:
speaking of 3 duck eggs, Rebel Dancer entered up twice on the 18th, fingers crossed he goes for the conditional race.

Dickie typically inept rather than any sign of fatigue.
|
|
By:
Harsh.

I don't think Tom O'Brien covered himself in glory there.
