I was reading the Paul Kealy email from yesterday to RP subscribers.
Only read it this morning so apologies if this has already been made known but he met a few of the trainers recently and sat down with Willy Twiston-Davies. Broadway Boy was a topic of conversation and wrote this..
--
Nigel favours taking the Grade 1 route in the Brown Advisory against what will be a hot favourite in Fact To File, but in a small field with a professional jockey on top, while Willy, who will have the final say, is much keener on the National Hunt Chase....
Broadway Boy is, after all, easily the highest-rated British runner in the National Hunt Chase, and on Racing Post Ratings he comes out top of the field. There are no worries about stamina given he won well over 3m2f at Cheltenham in December from Threeunderthrufive in a race that has worked out exceptionally well, and we can apparently forget his distant third to Grey Dawning at Warwick because his trachea wash afterwards was "grade 4, which is as bad as you can get".
He's back in rude health now, and despite Willy being keen on the easier of the two races, he has no doubt in his mind that Broadway Boy is a proper Grade 1 horse who is going to take them to the top races next season.

Watched the boyle sports preview last night few days back with Casey, the one gaulstats did a write up for. Cromwell said something along lines of after talking to David before this I'd be with Facile Vega for the race (turners). JD was very keen on him and DC didn't disagree.Originally posted by darlojim View Post
Facile Vega? Gaelic Warrior? Or both
I think Ricci connections got their way at DRF not going 2m against MN, now I think Mullins and co will get their way and put him over 2m at Chelt.
I'd have it as Paul will ride GW (Arkle) and FV (Turners)Comment

I'm guessing Facile Vega still isn't working right.
Not particularly strong in either the Turners or Arkle, right now.
Back out to 22 on the exchanges for the Arkle and out to 9.8 for the Turners (from about 5.5 earlier in the week).Comment

Cheers HTO. Very interesting. Casey did seem very keen to have Warrior in the Arkle from that video. It was odd how he was switched at the last minute last time and it definitely didn't pay off so I can see them trying 2 miles at the Fez. Makes complete sense to me with his RH bias. Less fences, easier track. Just get him out and let him do his stuff and see what happens. As for Vega they simply have to try something different with him as he's been disappointing. The step up in trip might just do the trick. I feel a double coming on.Comment

Good observation, didn't notice the push out on Turners. Although that could change in 1 bit of work.Originally posted by ComplyOrDie View PostComment
