  • Massive engine, did everything wrong but looked like he won with enough in hand.

    Did no favours for Kel Hist at the end! He ran on well after though !

    • Did hell of a lot wrong didn't he.

        Willie might want him to have another run.
        No but he doesn't switch off like you'd ideally want a Turners horse to do. You'd be hoping he comes on for it and gets some schooling in as I don't think they'll run him again before Cheltenham.

          I think going Supreme pace will help him concentrate and his jumping will improve.
          Some turn of foot to get to the front on bad ground.
          Impressive enough for me...

          • ….looks like PP holding on to 5-1, cut elsewhere for Supreme.

              Just prolongs the doubt.
              Yep, that'd have been fine if it was back in October - December with another run to come before the big day

              • Will have to come on a bundle for that!

                Extremely novicey jumping
                Way too keen

                • Will have done him the world of good that. Beats race fit (good standard) rivals first time out. Huge engine under Mundi's bonnet. Could do with another run really to get that freshness out. Kel Histoire was staying on again after being stopped. Kel Histoire will be moving up to the Turners IMO.

                  • Kel ran decent enough to be on the boat. Paul cut him off but he picked up well to get the other two after that

                    • Think the previous experience of Cheltenham could prove vital

                      • I'm not too worried about his hurdling, 4th run ovet them so plenty experienced, just very fresh, i think he needs another run before march just to make sure he doesnt get there too fresh .

                        • Very pleased he won and all systems go for the Supreme but I don’t think he’ll frighten off any rivals to the Turners

                          • Have to be honest, that’s was one of the weaker renewals of the Moscow Flyer, they all finished in a heap.

                            too keen, didn’t jump well, looked outpaced, stayed on past a average bunch

                            keens the hopes alive for those already on him, but someone told you during that race that he was the fav for the supreme, you’d be a little surprised

                            • Has Willie forgotten to put the hurdles out for schooling?

                              Comment


                              • Worth remembering Vautour only won the Moscow Flyer 3/4 of a length, so distance of victory is irrelevant for me.

                                I think he'll be one to go from the front in the Supreme though. Didn't look to settle well in behind.
