From Dusk Til Dawn

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?

Why wouldn't he? £27,000 and he's 'backed up' before.

good job hes not human, he would have to work 5 days a week

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.

Will be having a long break after today. Why not make hay whilst the sun shines as he is in form.

Good luck Roger. Hope Johnson doesn't wrestle him to the deck today.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Harsh.

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

has mr o brien ever covered himself in glory ??/ answers on a postage stamp thanks in advance
