I watched it again on video this morning, and it was truly amazing. Have a look at Graham Dench's analysis in the Racing Post today and you'll see what he thinks- he's the best race analyst in the business and not a man to get carried away too easily. But as you say, injuries are unfortunately all too common in NH racing (did you know that Well Chief is out for the season?)so let's keep our fingers crossed that the main protagonists can make it to Cheltenham because if they do we could be in for something really special.<BR/>The other thing I'd say about yesterday's race: keep an eye out for Character Building in future races- that was a terrific run and he'll be one to have on your side in the big staying chases in the spring.Neil Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479041156190090119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17766817.post-62914385541568820222007-12-02T17:11:00.000+00:002007-12-02T17:11:00.000+00:00Dont forget Trabolgan won the Hennessy a couple of...Dont forget Trabolgan won the Hennessy a couple of years ago off top weight having also won the Sun Alliance a year before. He was hailed as the New Champion but hasn't raced since. I agree with you: if Denman can make it to Cheltenham in March we're in for a cracker, but in jump racing you can't take anything for granted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
