Sharjah-To old to go chasing...

Ruby said he's schooled well but you'd have to doubt that given the delayed start

He did jump well in what was an easy race for him, interesting to see how he gets on when under pressure. But i can't think of a very good chaser that didn't start till so old.

I remember - Milton Bradley sending his good Sprinter - Novice chasing - aged 8

7th beaten [73¼l]  Brevity   Jamie Moore   Milton Bradley  8-10-9

Pulled hard, held up in touch, weakened under pressure after 6th, mistake 3 out, tailed off (op 12-1 tchd 14-1, 16-1 in places)

What were they thinking?
