Mad
Brian never featured in the Troytown chase, which was a little
disappointing.
Obviously, that’s not uncommon for 40/1 shots – but I
really felt I’d seen something in his last run.
Maybe I had - but regardless, he doesn’t look capable of
competing at this level any more.
I
actually took a fair bit of hope pre-race, from the fact that he was strong in
the betting (backed down to a BSP of 25 and an SP of 20/1) – but in the race
itself, he gradually worked his way back through the field, from a relatively
prominent early position, suggesting that he was out of his class…
In
the other 2 races of interest on the day: Min was reasonably impressive on his
chasing debut – certainly he is likely to give Altior something to think about
again, next March; whilst in the handicap hurdle, Jett came there cruising, at
the second last, but didn’t then go through with his effort.
Whether that was caused by a lack of stamina;
inexperience – or a suspect temperament – only time will tell…
