I have commented on Samcro before re needing soft ground. Worth taking note of this withdrawal before lumping on him
The ground was obviously a big consideration Ron, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if the thought of facing Faugheen didn't scare the crap out of the connections. Even though the fav was later toppled.
The withdrawal was clearly ground dependent, let’s see if it is any juicier at Newcastle so they can take on dual Champion Hurdler Buveur D’Air in the Fighting Fifth. We won’t see Waiting Patiently until the ground is softer either. Hopefully the rains will come soon.
A lot of horses are waiting for rain. The one I want to see is Envoi Allen, in the last two weeks has been non runner twice.
Don't be surprised if Samcro finds nothing off the bridle. He has a good engine though so hopefully he would be ridden to make use of it
I wouldnt write off Samcro just yet as alot of Gordys early runners usually come on for their runs and the ground wasnt in his favour either.In saying that Samcro really needs to up his game on his next run if he is to be considered a serious champion hurdler contender.
