I've seen it all before. The horse I'm looking forward to see is BJK from JJO Neil stable. This horse would beat DC and Brave Inca over 2 miles without breaking a sweat. The horse is simply DIFFERENT CLASS.

greybomber (U2376771) posted Nov 24, 2006 I'm inclined to agree with the lack of championship class horses in the greatwood but DC couldn't have won it any easier than he did but Ihave to say the national hunt has really sparked into life with the emergence of horses of his calibre along with kauto star and monets garden it should be a cracking winter/spring and roll on march!!!

Bucketnut (U6700070) posted Nov 24, 2006 Think as usual it all depends on the ground. Connections were thinking of racing over further had he flopped at Cheltenham and I think easy ground would be a must for DC to win the Champion Hurdle.Should it come up top of the ground a lively outsider has to be Arcalis. Another horse not to give up on is Fundamentalist- still think that one's a machine. Comment on this article |
