Very impressive Lostintranslation - hopefully a clear run for him going forward leading to a crack at the Gold Cup in March.
Since Ruby retired and Townend got the top job I think he's been pretty poor. I think he's one of the best jump jockeys out there and have done for several years but he's not seemed at his best since getting the big gig
Carlisle 3.40 Old Salt Unlucky 2 runs ago when unseating at the last with every chance. Was given to much to do when staying on 3rd at this track last time. Should be in the mix today.
Ooh hit that hard and unseated. Barely took off to be honest,hope he stay out of trouble without the jockey
Still looks a shell of a horse waiting to fill out properly. I reckon he will be a good one with time to improve further this season and onwards. I backed him in the JLT at the last Cheltenham festival and although Defi Du Seuil got the better of it that day, I think Lostintranslation will prove the better chaser in time. Paul Nichols' Topofthegame went into plenty of notebooks himself but Lostintranslation gave him a good beating in the Mildmay and the Tizzard horse is very unexposed at 3 miles and upwards.
Topofthegame our for the season but I think Defi du Seuil could be a GoldCup dark horse either this or next season.
Hi all...thanks for all your well wishes today. First time for me at Huntingdon which is quite a small tidy flat course. Obviously disappointing that Top Decision made a bad mistake at the 7th fence and unshipped the jockey. Jumped the first two bit sketchy..started to settle down then the error. Jockey thought our fella was a good jumper in the main and feedback was quite positive. Overall has been jumping well at home and I guess it's just one of those things...Have just seen a video of him having some supper so very happy all is well with horse. He just needs to know that crossing the line first without a jockey doesn't mean he s won the race..
To be proven of course, but he has the heart and talent to get there. Looking forward to see what they do with him this season.
