He got round Chester last year closest to the Valley I supposeย There's a horse going tonight called Numarian at Leopardstown in listed race , got beaten in handicap last time but suddenly he's got a decent formline . Beat Sir Dragonet almost 3 lengths at Naas in March and pushed Armoury close couple starts back , then couldn't pick his feet up. He's up against it tonight with nearly 10 stone .

stodge 1,912 Report post Posted October 24, 2020 I couldn't have got that more wrong if I tried. Over here. SIR DRAGONET has got a bit of a reputation as a "nearly" horse. You can't crab his second place to MAGICAL in the Tattersalls Gold Cup but he was beaten in the Wolferton at Ascot which is a Listed class race and BUCKHURST has beaten him twice in Ireland. I can only assume a change of scene has helped as he'd dropped 5 lbs in the rating since he was fifth to ANTHONY VAN DYCK in the Derby last year. We can use MAGICAL as a line through which to place SIR DRAGONET and ARMORY and there shouldn't have been much between them. I thought ARMORY was ridden wide enough and the gap opened ideally for Glen Boss.ย The other Europeans were well held and I thought it interesting the pacesetters were also well beaten - definitely a race for those coming off the pace.ย I can't believe this was the strongest Cox Plate ever run - HIGHLAND REEL was rated 120 so 3 lbs superior to SIR DRAGONET and WINX beat himย nearly six lengths,ย Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berri 2,131 Report post Posted October 24, 2020 Let's face it. It wasn't a vintage renewal of the Cox Plate. The race could only be rated 118-120. The form is franked through Magical and Anthony Van Dyck. Probabeel ran to her rating although she probably wasn't in the best part of the track running for home. She worryingly changed leg at the 200m. Shows the detractors just how good the imports really are.ย When we get a good one down here, they're competitive. The problem is that we don't get enough of themย Memphis2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armoury went out at 66 to 1 last time at Leopardstown , NumerIan almost done him giving him 8 lbs and beat the shitย out of Sir Dragonet when they met . NumerIan will end up hurdling . WFA over 2000 Australian racing weak , Northern scribes like Chapman are laping it up , some asking what price Armoury for Triumph Hurdle in March .ย The 2019ย Derby has suddenly looked excellent now AVD and SD have arrived in OZ , it looked pretty shabby formwise in Europe in the main , field done not a lot of note , Prix Foy aside . AVD couldn't win a Hardwicke and Sir Dragonet a Wolverton . Australianย ย sprinters best in world IMHO,ย middle distance / stayers poor .

Very average after , good on him selecting the horseย but being charitable to Maher he looked like he was cut off early so let's hope he said something . Waller straight away thanked previous trainer when Shared Ambition bolted up on Cup day last year . Basically said he just saddled the horse .ย Doubt the big boys care it's just a sack full of money with likely more heading their wayย for the ones they want to move on .

Red Rum 1,833 Report post Posted October 25, 2020 Tatts Cup Curragh few months ago , positions of SD and Armoury , both went out as outsiders , SD put a just over a couple of lengths onย Armoury giving 9lbs wfa , yesterday was it 4bs or close to wfa ? And it's a length an quarter , so how much improvement has Maher squeezed out of SD ? . Interesting race to watch as both need oxygen tanks after Magical busted them to bits , who in turn has been busted up a few times by Enable .
