Al ,yes still ours....those are trainers colours as plenty paperwork to get the changes done but will be ready for his next run in a S$500k race...x5.5....i think barend had him too handy as was a lot of pace on in the running and went too soon on him...maybe a blessing in disguise as he wont get extra weight for the Gold Cup on nov 8...1,3 mill Sing....
Greg....2200m is the furthest on nov 8th...thats our aim.

Hotline,

He seems to be running well without blinkers but did he not do better with them fitted here?

I'm not saying they should fit them, I was just wondering if you know the details!!

Good luck and I hope he runs a blinder for you guys!!!

I think for the prep runs they didnt want him too keen.....they run at a fast pace over there but will double check for his next run....

Ahh, that would make sense.

A good pace for him to run on would mean no blinkers needed to sharpen him up!!!
Hopefully next time Barend will take his time and not rush him up there. Let the horse find its finish and he should be just fine!!!!

All the best with DL. He is a lovely horse!
