I wonder if David Probert is in trouble - He has just won at 20-1 on a John Ryan horse beating a Noseda hotpot into 2nd. I think John Ryan is a decent small trainer but he does not often have winners unbacked. This horse was bought out of Roger Verians yard and looked to be for another day judging by the betting.
On this note, does anyone have any pictures showing the differences between hurdles in France and in the UK?
No Nass. I don't. Very different though. They say he's the future. So's Vautour. And Faugheen. And Annie Power. And Briar Hill. Lucky bastards! On the topic of Un De Sceaux, did I read it right that he cost £40,000? That looks value at the moment.
