Problem with schooling JDV now is once hurdlers get into that slobbish way of hurdling it's very tough to get them out of it,sometimes you're better sending them over a fence so they learn to pick their feet up again,can you do that then run them over hurdles still...not really,maybe the ground made it even harder for him today but for me after watching 2 starts,I'll not back him until he goes novice chasing (watch him go with two Grade 1's over hurdles to finish the season now )

Yeah, not great. Willie made excuses pre race, can only hope they school the hell out of him pre festival and he comes on bundles, it's the only hope really. Glad Paul didn't give him a hard time though. Save him for the day. Think he'll still go Turners, personally. That was a fair slog out there today.
Hoping AB for The Yellow Clay. Owners said so last time, hopefully Gordon comes out and says the same now too.
Straight there now too, is the hope!

Not sure what they do with Jasmin after that. It looked to me like he was terrified of every hurdle. He jumped 3 or 4 ok, the rest he lost ground at.
The Yellow Clay goes where now? Hopefully it's the AB
Not very helpful I know, but I can see reasoning for both.

The New Lion and Potters Charm have shortened after that race. If Kopek doesn't improve his jumping he could be the same as Jasmine(and that's if he goes for the Turners) so the Turners could be going to the British which is such a very strange thing to think...
Moscow Flyer is next Saturday, anyone heard of any news regarding Salvator?
