I have heard through the grapevine Rip Van Winklehas already done two stunning pieces of home work. Anyone shed any light on this and would Ballydoyle already be that far along with their three year olds, seems a bit early to me. Looks like he is being nibbled in the guineas betting again aswell!

I highly doubt that he would be in fast work yet at all, Beardo.

I thought the same but the source is adamant. Cant work it out.

I know one lad at O'Brien's who tells me the 3yo's are only in steady work. Haven't even done half speeds upsides.

 

[LUKE]

Maybe the steady work was stunning.

beardo, can you ask your contact if Black Bear Island is injured? not seen out since his maiden win.
cheers.

No he is not injured. He is still in training though all the 2, 3, 4 year olds plus only only doing light work and nothing gets serious until March/April.
