Goshen not going weekend

Marie's Rock takes on stable mate Epatante in the Fighting Fifth

Imagine won't run here , she'll run in the Gerry F at Newbury

Goshen not going weekend

Goshen may be better off with a different trainer, someone who doesn't faff around and runs there horses.
Ruth Jefferson maybe ?

I'd imagine Maries' Rock is a reserve entry in case Newbury is off, or Epatante misses the race.

Makes sense. All of it.



Maybe Goshen to Nicky, I hear there are some days where you can just gallop a couple of furlongs and enhance your CH claims.

Goshen could even go to Warren Greatrex and it'd be an upgrade...

Maries Rock entered as a precaution if anything goes wrong with Epatante.

[FaugheenTheMachine]

Perhaps they just didn’t want Goshen to get lapped by Cornerstone Lad

[Priceiskey]

I thought Maries Rock was being aimed at the Gerry Feilden at Newbury on Saturday

She is. Only been put in fighting fifth as back up.

Terrible preparation for the Champion Hurdle, end of September and they already have him out - do backers really think Moore can keep this horse going until March

I just don't trust the Moore's to bring Goshen through

I would have preferred to have kept Goshen at home, allow him to fill out a bit more, bring him out for 2 late races ahead of the festival, hoped for soft/heavy in the champ hurdle, and then use his freshness to try and outstay the field. He may have had half a chance.

Two months on, and I still believe

1) Moore's have messed up his prep
2) There best bet is to hold onto him, bring him out in Jan for a prep, and then head to the CH with the aim of taking them on a mile out and seeing what the rest of the field has over proper testing ground

I'm no Goshen fan, no fan at all.... but this is the only situation where Goshen may become backable at 16/1 +++

[FaugheenTheMachine]

They are aiming him at the International next month......

[Outlaw]

They are aiming him at the International next month......

For now...

Good.
Hopefully Song for Someone can end the dream for him.

That's the likely starting point for Beauvoir D'Air as well.

I hate trying to spell, or type that name.
But that's a new one.
And extra points for using all the vowels
