I would also be in the Thomas Hobson camp.Tycoon Prince clearly didn't give his running the last day, so he can be omitted from any analysis. Which means it probably wasn't a great race all told.But TH pulled like an absolute c**t for over a mile and a half. Look at the amount of rein Ruby has in his hands jumping the flight 7fur out. He was still tanking 3 out. Given how much energy he wasted, I actually made it quite a good effort to have finished the race off as well as he did. It could be viewed that the step up in trip tomorrow would be a negative, as if he pulled like that over 2m, he should be worse going a 2m4f gallop.I would be prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt. I think Ruby will pop him out in front and that he will settle a lot better there. Its also quite possible that he was just too fresh that day. Either way, I don't think it will be an issue tomorrow. I think there is little doubt he is a better horse than Jetstream. And the extra distance should eke out some improvement. Nor do I think the ground is an issue(as long as he settles)His jumping was a bit sketchy, but again that wasn't helped by his over exuberance, and Ruby trying to yank him back. 11-10 is big IMO.
Eh, surely you check the pace angles of the rivals.......... Lisclogher Lad will take them along....... You think Ruby will pop him out in front..... ?????
