who cares what you heard or not before you sad old bat
and fwiw(not much for you but still) its obvious I was referring to ONCE he has a plan, not IF. Once he knows Faugheen runs or not, he'll decide if Jezki goes CH or not, regardless of Yanworth and MTOY also in there.
These reporters put words into trainers mouths every day and are worse than CNN at times and those who can't think for themselves read their crap and get all sorts of stupid ideas
You ask any trainer about one of JP's when the answer is not blatantly obvious and you won't get a definite answer like Charli Parcs eg
There is more chance of Sprinter Sacre running in the Champion Hurdle than Jezki who has every chance in the SH and no chance in the Champion Hurdle. He clearly didn't retain enough of his speed to get the better of Hurricane Fly when they finished 3rd and 4th in the Champion but as soon as he was stepped up in trip and stamina came into it he was back on the winning trail beating the Fly easily.
His performance over 2 was good but miles short of CH class and he will run again over 2 miles apparently in the Red Mills which can be a bit of a non event. Dunguib won a 3 horse race Zaidpour beat nothing in it Semper Medic was long odds on when he won it as was Kitten Rock.......if Jezki should win it and nothing takes him on there would be little or no encouragement taken from it to think suddenly Jezki is as good as he was 4 years ago
Harrington said more in her dreams and no way on this earth will she send the horse up against Yanworth when he's obviously a much better animal these days over 3 miles.
YKWIMH is a nice horse but he is nowhere near the class of Thistlecrack.....someone mention he beat a 160 horse lil Rockerfeller who is becoming a bit of a professional loser. 2 races before that he was beating 140 horses and really he has beaten nothing near the quality that Jezki has. He is without doubt more beatable than the front 4 in the Champion Hurdle are and she'd need to be completely off her trolly to even suggest running him in it.....because if he does he will win nothing
IMO Jezki should be clear fav for the Stayers and if you in your wisdom think there's the remotest chance he'll run in the Champion Hurdle Faugheen or no Faugheen go take the 40's with Betfair.
It seems to me no matter what I write with no matter how much blatantly obvious evidence attached you think it's shyte and come up with some crazy idiotic statements straight out of a comic book to try and prove me wrong.
You definitely have the weirdest ideas about racing I have ever come across and if someone paid you what good ideas you have in your head you'd be flat broke
Your's Sincerely
