There was no joy for Agent Boru this afternoon - and in
truth, it all looked a bit much for him…
That’s always a danger when you
support a novice against seasoned handicappers - and simply, he didn’t look up
to the job.
He started in the back half of the field - and raced out
wide.
However he was never travelling particularly well and when jumping
errors began to creep in, it was soon all over.
The race was won by
Dounikos - a horse I’ve tipped many time in the past (at least 3 !).
I knew
he had the ability to win a race like todays - but he’d shown very little this
season and you can’t follow them indefinitely…
Earlier in the afternoon,
La Sorelita ran a similar race, to her first two starts in Ireland.
She
seemed to be travelling well enough approaching the straight - but was quickly
beaten, once the pace increased.
She would definitely be worth trying
over further - though there is also the possibility that she may have a physical
issue.
In the novice chase, Dr Mikey tried to take a few of the fences
home with him - and that’s never a good idea !
His jumping was flawless on
his debut - but he made mistakes last time - and again this
afternoon.
Unsurprisingly, he finished well beaten.
The race was won
by Riders inthe Storm, who got the better of favourite, Impact
Factor…
Roll on next weekend !
