Of course I do but Barry Cash is a good example of a middling jockey getting on with a horse and winning.
Have you had a look at Our Connors action,its a twofold thing Our Connor loves cut and cut in the ground inconveniences the speedier types. |

I would say the ground at Cheltenham was worse than it was at Leopardstown.
The official going may not agree but the ground was not as bad as described at Leopardstown and the ground was certainly soft at Cheltenham. |

Regardless of what happens this season, the Fly is the best hurdler since Istabraq for sure. He is a Flat bred and didn't make Cheltenham in what should have been his peak years. I can't think of a hurdler that would beat the Hurricane Fly that hammered Go Native 11 lengths at Leopardstown as a novice. He should have 4 champion hurdles... but I don't think he'll be good enough this time, he lacks tactical speed around Cheltenham now, even on soft ground.

Connections seemed happy with that run.

I thought he gave him a shocking ride. Got hampered a number of times. Taste of things to come i think

They would have to be fairly happy with that run from Conor, didn't get the clearest of runs and once the birds had flown Mullins just pushed out hands and heels.
With The New One skating in yesterday Hurricane Flys reputation as the best since Istabraq might just come crashing down this year. There is loads of holes in Hurricanes 2 champion hurdle wins, he was all out to beat Peddlers Cross who hasn't done a tap since, Oscar Whiskey in 3rd is more of a staying type and who was back in 4th at much the same distance he has been beating regularly in the mud in Ireland only Thousand Stars. How can you say that Hurricane should've won 4 Champions Neil?, he was comprehensively beaten on genuine good ground in 2012, he missed the champion in 2010 but on a line through Solwhit who was beaten 18L's in that years Champion suggests he would've struggled against a peak form Binocular. |

Silver,funny u say that about our conor,dessie hughes said afterwards the horse was about 90% fit,
So by the sounds of it he was out to blow the cobwebs away,if this was o'brien i doubt your comments would be so nice |
|
By:
if the horse got a clear run I'm sure Mullins would've been more forceful, but why knock him about when the birds had flown, at least the horse wasn't beat national hunt type distances like some of those Ballydoyle inmates, the horse at least tried.

But why is he sending a horse to the races blatantly unfit?is that not a gripe of yours silver?
|
|
By:
the horse was there at the business end unlike some of the stinkers from the untouchables, roar.
|
|
By:
Thats not the point though,The point im making and you're avoiding is horses been sent to race courses unfit.

tbh, what did he go off at 3/1 odd? that represents a 25% chance of winning and given his hurdles mark it clearly suggested that the stable weren't confident. He ran exactly the kind of race that the market suggested he would. hardy eustace used to regularly get turned over off seemingly winning hurdles marks too. While this ain't an excuse for sending a horse half-cocked, I don't think any of us can say we didn't see it coming... unless you were on early in the morning. Also, he probably just isn't that good a flat horse, he gains lengths at every hurdle after all.
