Diamond Harry 9yr old ......Why no R/H form........

Good question mange, does he go r/h. seemed to remember murphy saying something along those lines?

mmm

hmm sad times, wouldve won that by a distance in his prime

Strange decision given his record at newbury fto.

a corpse, sadly.

In his early days he always used to hang left. Seemed a strange choice to run him here. Sadly seems to have "gone" antway.

anyway

Great shame, love the horse and have followed him off a cliff last season and now this, but defo gone at the game now and nothing to be gained by keeping him in training, retirement beckons I hope

He's a bit young to be retired tbf.

I agree young, but can't see him bouncing back at all, even if he keeps dropping down the handicap, especially as his jumping isn't good enough either

Think hes been telling his trainer hes had enough for some time now.

a shadow of his former self
Never forget when he gave Burton Port 15lb (currently rated 166)and won a really competitive hcap hurdle on the bit @ Haydock

Maybe a trip down to the vets, check the larynx out. mmmmm

He runs like a horse hurting.  He has an awkward tail carriage which is often a sign of back problems somewhere. 

If he were mine I'd retire him, get a good equine chiropracter / McTimoney practictioner to do some work on him, turn him out for a few months, bring him back into work and take him hunting and if he enjoyed that, I'd have a bit of fun in point-to-points with him in the 2013/14 season.

He had an awkward tail carriage when he won the Hennessy.
