Can you imagine the tow Sprinter Sacre would get off of Sanctuaire? I'm smelling course records here...
Theres your horse to take Sprinter Sacre on next year. Jesus christ... Heavy ground and winning by 17 lengths with good horses behind him putting an exhibition of jumping in. Wow
Sanctuaire has some way to go before he gives Sprinter Sacre a race - end of season contest on bottomless going it was.
I wouldnt say that was Sanctuaire's ideal ground to be fair. Sprinter Sacre as been breathtaking all year but this fella could give him something to think about next year. Sandown is a stiff track but he gave an exhibition there...
That was better than even I had hoped for. Exhibition round and he goes fast, jumps fast and keeps going. I think he'll be better on good ground because speed is his forte. Cannot wait for the 2012 Tingle Creek. Sprinter Sacre vs Sanctuaire will be something to look forward to over the summer.
I agree, Sanctuaire gave an exhibition round of jumping - on that form Sprinter Sacre will know he's been in a race if they meet, that's for sure. But I'm not getting carried away on one race, even though Sanctuaire was top class today.
Im on Tidal at 10's. Regretting it now after seeing the first couple of races, Doesnt sit handy and its paid to be up with the pace...
