Re Long Runs jumping - it's fine to make the case for his improving his jumping for the run, the fact is he'd jumped like a crab (an uncompetitve Kingmaker apart) in all his early races until Yogi took over prior to the King George, and it was that, and his adaption to the English style of racing - rather than fitness - that seemed to make the difference. Was also intensively schooled before the Gold Cup, yet still reverted to type in his first run this season.
Maybe those who think it was just fitness would care to explain why connections thought it necesary to have Yogi Breisner heavily involved again in the run up to Saturday?
