Kilbeggan Thu, 21st Apr, 2022  Eat The Book It's unbelievable. Simon is nearly 60 years of age and he rides out for me. I thought it was half mad that he was riding him in a hurdle race!. For the first two laps I was saying 'what is he doing' but maybe they just went too quick. We've liked this horse a lot and I was disappointed with how he was running up to here. He probably just needed to be upped in trip but he shows loads of pace at home. Hopefully he steps on from that. He's not a novice in a few weeks so we'll look at another handicap for him somewhere. He'll make a lovely chaser around the likes of these tracks. Simon didn't want to run him around a tight track and I've been trying to convince him for years that the horse wanted good ground.
