Peterborough Chase

[SteveM]

The Peterborough Chase has been transferred to Kempton on December 27, to form a seven-race card

Don't see the point of this, it will only dilute the King George, 3m, and the Desert Orchid over 2m.

 

[SteveM]

Let's see which horses go for it first... Entries by noon tomorrow.

Strange decision in my opinion.

 

[Grey]

At least Kempton is a lot more similar to Huntingdon than Exeter is.

 

[Bar the Bull]

Wishfull Thinking (11/10), Ghizao (5/2), Hey Big Spender (4/1), Dan Breen (8/1), The Sawyer (33/1)

So long as the field isn't any worse than the one above, it will have worked.

 

[Hamm]

Not really. They should all be in the Desert Orchid, which is now weak as water.

 

[Bar the Bull]

Yeah, fair enough I guess.

 

[Irish Stamp]

Silly idea - they may as well have just moved it back to Huntingdon's boxing day meeting.

Huntingdon currently flooded and suspect quite a doubt for the 26th.

 

[Hamm]

Sanctuaire is a possible for the Desert Orchid, ground and field dependant.

Will there be anyone left to run against him?

 

[davidjohnson]

Can't answer that here, you'll need to start a Desert Orchid thread.

Hopefully third time lucky tomorrow, six go

For Non Stop
Hunt Ball
Ghizao
Menorah
French Opera
Mr Gardner

 

[chroniclandlord]

Menorah won this well but what it was worth form wise is questionable.

 

[SteveM]

Menorah won this well but what it was worth form wise is questionable.

I like Menorah though, he always threatened to turn out okay.

 

[chroniclandlord]

He showed a good turn of foot to settle the race very quickly, but a number of the beaten horses were disappointing.
