Ruby or Fehily

[NassauBoard]

I think you mean Zaynar, as opposed to Binocular, but let’s not dwell on that!

Personally, I think Kelso, or Kempton Park a week on Saturday, is the perfect ‘prep’ for Long Run. Get a run into him to blow away the cobwebs and then let him be prepared for 6 weeks, at home, by Mr Henderson who will slowly bring him to 100% capacity for the 10 minutes that count in early April. His ‘magic hands’ will perform miracles and deliver Long Run to Aintree in A1 shape. In contrast I think a run at Cheltenham could potentially ‘bottom’ him and leave the old boy in no condition to do his best at Aintree. His next run needs to be no more than a ‘prep’. Nothing else.

He has been prepping by getting a proper jockey to ride him in the local hunt. Which recent winner had a similar sort of prep? (stag hunting if I recall)

Feehily won't get jocked off SC leaving Ruby to be snaffled up by Dessie Hughes. At 4 pm on the 14th March forumites will be asking how they ever let a Ruby horse go unbacked @ 25s. #chanclutchingatstraws

Al Ferof has been scratched from the Gold Cup so Ruby wont be getting the leg up on him. He is bound to get a ride in the big one... Someone will snap him up or one of the jocks could get injured (McCoy as a late replacement for Russell on Sr des Champs last year as an example)! Ruby will be on something however it works out..

Bollocks...there go my multiples! Extremely disappointed with team Nicholls as judging any horse on that bog on Saturday is foolish.


Will he turn up for the Ryanair?

Just went and had another look at Silviniaco Conti winning the King George last December. What a horse. The way he ran down the brave Cue Card was breath taking. What truly impressed me though, was the reaction of the crowd in the last furlong. Hairs on the back of the neck stuff.

I believe Ryanair is the most likely for him, a race that I hope he will turn out to be a decent price for as I think 2 and a half, on decent ground is taylor made for him. I'm hoping Sizing Europe also goes Ryanair, because he's another one for whom the distance and hopefully good ground will suit ideally
