Coneygree 8
y bg Karinga Bay – Plaid Maid ( Cliff, Cod, Tony)
Top class chaser who’s Gold Cup win was
one of those fairy tale National Hunt moments. How ever with 8 wins from 10
runs, and un beaten over fences, his win should be taken at face value and not
a fluke and he will be a tough nut to crack again this season. He was un beaten
last season, starting with victory at Newbury in November, taking a 2m 4f
novice chase by 1 ½ l from Dell Arca,
and followed up at Kempton in December, taking the 3m grade 1 Kauto Star novice
chase by 40 l from Warden Hill. He then went to Newbury in February and
took a 2m 7f grade 2 novice chase
by 7l from Houblon Des Obeaux. Connections then had to deceide between the RSA
novice chase or Gold Cup., and took the brave decision to go for the big one.
They were rewarded as Coneygree ran his rivals ragged and came home 1 ½ l in front of Djakadam.
