Crus Non Runner In Argento

grands_crus_kempton_boxing_day

After speaking with the owners, we have decided not to run Grands Crus at Cheltenham on Saturday.  We didn’t want to give him a hard race with March just around the corner.  He may run at Newbury in a three mile novices’ chase on 11th February or could go straight to the Festival.  A decision on which race he will take in at the Cheltenham Festival is still to be decided and will not be made until much nearer the time.

Great Day's Action

Saturday, 28 January 2012 08:10 Written by Chester Barnes

Clever Dick ran okay at Fontwell yesterday but it was bottomless ground and he looked to be going well down the back straight but did not appear to get home in the testing ground.  He was also a bit hampered and lost a few lengths going round the final bend and from then on he lost all chance of winning.  I am sure we will see him in better light on not such testing ground.  Meanwhile at Huntingdon, Rose of the Moon ran no sort of race, also on very testing ground.  He has got to be better than this so hopefully he can bounce back to form next time.  I am pleased to report that both horses are fine this morning and have come out of their races well.  David has plenty of runners today at Cheltenham and Doncaster.
