So going through the card again since my selection SOTG ain't going here I'm slowly starting to think Kauto riko has a chance, but the only thing thats putting me off is the horse is running or meant to be running on the 5th March. If it did win lets say I'm just thinking if it would go up 5lbs for it plus being closed to the festival unless connections are thinking of skipping the festival and aiming for another race?

You have to despair at English trainers these days. TUTF has a great weight for this race and would go very close, even with Nichols record. He's no chance of winning the RSA.Originally posted by EnvoiAlien View PostComment

It is the onwers insisting he runs in the RSA, notwithstanding Paul pretty obviously telling them he won't lay a glove on BMG, let alone anything across the Irish Sea.Originally posted by doctorwu View PostComment

I don't think we should bemoan any owner wanting to go for a grade 1 instead of a handicap. I'd say the lack of this mentality is a fundamental issue with English racing.Comment

Not sure this is true, the Irish have cleaned up by sending grade 1 horses to handicaps!Originally posted by Hurricane fly View PostComment

What is the logic to the trend? Why would Irish horses not win the race? Aside 'the curse'...

It's normally for horses that would go to the Irish Grand National which unlike Aintree is at a fixed date each year - Easter Monday, although that moves each year!!!
Bear with me.
This year Easter Monday falls on 18 April, one day shy of 5 weeks. So, it's a slightly longer gap. Plus there are many Irish trainers fancying their chances because of the 'Irish dominance'. Let's see on Wednesday who gets declared at the 5 day stage. Most pundits still seem to be sticking to UK horses, but we'll see.Comment

This looks like the 1st year the Irish have shown any interest in this race. Well we know what happens when they do show interest......
The English handicappers will be running off to Aintree soon. They could have their own sub-standard festival.Comment
