  • Nikki.

  • Not long now, until the Children festival.

  • What the final few weeks and days like for you at seven.

  • Barrie's, Um, don't let anybody tell you that the most comfortable sort of time of the year and then you know there's so much that could go wrong.

  • You think you've got it all sort of lined up and you know what's happening.

  • But at the same time, you know, this trap says there's something jump out and bite you.

  • You be sure and you'll read every day there's another.

  • Somewhere somebody is gonna have a drama under horses that important horses.

  • Will it fall?

  • Enough off off, off the board And you just pray he's not one of your own.

  • But you know, it's testing.

  • It was nice to see lt or get back to winning ways at Newbury a few days ago.

  • Was it?

  • Does it feel like the old lt was back?

  • Now he's back to back to two miles when I think back to he'd he'd get two and 1/2 standing on his head, but it just didn't work.

  • Ask it was was a disaster, and we shouldn't have run him.

  • Um, and I don't think you did either Was any good?

  • I don't You know, don't You did sound that many favors.

  • At the end of the day, they had a very, very hard race, particularly for their first runs of the season.

  • You know, normally you'd have a devout of prep race before you went into a headlong battle like that and we hadn't Neither of us had.

  • Yeah, they just had a very, very hard race.

  • And it took him a lot of time to get over it.

  • And it does.

  • He puts a lot into it on Adrienne because he's just a born try.

  • This year's renewal looks red heart.

  • We've got definite a soy shake and pour ce soir.

  • We know out you're a seasoned better innit, Children.

  • But you think this could be is toughest task ever at the festival.

  • I think he's definitely stuff his task.

  • Yes, I mean human from the you know, he'd followed on straight after sprinter sacral, which was you know, it's where we've been so lucky is that you have two horses like this that just follow on.

  • But, uh, this will be the toughest of the locked and you have to be at his best and his best.

  • He can beat them.

  • And I don't see why he shouldn't be.

  • But, you know, that newbie would have.

  • Should have heard him spot on.

  • We're all good.

  • Um, he seems well, and ground would help us.

  • I mean, I don't definite to say love.

  • Soft ground out your loves.

  • Good ground That could play a very important part.

  • And looking to the feature on Tuesday, the champion heard or brilliantly, some strong squad as usual.

  • Five chances.

  • Well, they're all there on their own merits.

  • No pacemakers or anything like that actually are other wish we did have a pacemaker, but I'm sure we'll be somebody.

  • You take it along?

  • Um, only probably from Pentland Hills.

  • Point of view.

  • He just I just think, you know, we got beaten and hate up the other day.

  • It was disappointing.

  • It he traveled through the race so well, but if anything a bit too well on, just a stronger gallop would help him, and he just to relax a little bit more.

  • He jumped so quick and sharp that he's always just putting himself into the race.

  • And, um, yeah, good gallop.

  • I'm sure that that'll help him.

  • He's one round.

  • Then when you run the tramp lodged yet effort on, she's a bit different.

  • She's speedy, Um, on Dhe.

  • She's being very good, someone say only on flat tracks, but have been because she didn't run very well in the mayor's novice last year when I thought she was one of our best chances of the week.

  • But there was a lot of things affecting Yours is the time in that we'd had toe re vaccinate a very, very inconvenient time.

  • Andi.

  • I think she was one of the ones that was almost certainly affected by it.

  • Must be nice as well for the only J.

  • P.

  • McManus with what happened with Buford, A really unfortunate that she's been able to matter, step in and be a brilliant replacement.

  • Well, yeah, and last year's winner, J.

  • P, said he sadly died at the beginning of the season in Ireland on Brother Dad is freak accident, where you brought a pizza hurdle wedge trees.

  • For Forman, it was horrific.

  • Um, he's got a long way to go, but he's being allowed home too well in this week, actually, So he's out of hospital.

  • Um, but having lost to the previous two champion little winners.

  • It would be fair justice if he came up with one it with with the 3rd 1 And I like to think he's got a good chance.

  • That's the feature race on Tuesday is the champion.

  • Heard of what you've got a fine chance in the opening race in the Supreme in the form of shiv skinnies.

  • Look really, really good.

  • So far.

  • So far, so good.

  • Yeah, he's not very good.

  • It's a sort of, you know, it's the opening race.

  • It's that it's an important one, really, because it's one.

  • You'd always like to win this because you could just get what you need is a winner on the first day.

  • That's important thing.

  • If you win the first race even better, because somehow the pressure comes off and you know you know you've got your first run on the board, and when you're sending in something like shit skin to open the batting, you know you know you've got a chance for score.

  • So he is good.

  • Um, he's looked at both times anyway, and he hasn't got a lot of experience, but he's looked very professional.

  • It's a really interesting situation that because we could have an owner here with the two favorites for the racy, almost hoping that maybe hysteria in for launch head's elsewhere.

  • Well, that had try.

  • I said to Joe Donnelly the morning before on the Sunday morning I was talking to German, wouldn't you?

  • Wouldn't you spirit the bumpy to your very first and second on Dhe?

  • We should have to be fine.

  • So it is.

  • Yeah, it's Fred, who's I mean, they've got to random in again.

  • We have the same problem, not problem that, you know, will decide where Chantry House goes because J.

  • P has got more than one that would probably I'd probably say, I think you might be more of a two and 1/2 mile laws, but he has got other options in that race as well.

  • So it's a question of you know we'll work it out and looking ahead now to the blue ribbon race, the Gold Cup and another fine chance there with Santini, who admittedly probably wasn't quite firing at Sandown but looked a real deal.

  • It in the courts will chase.

  • Last time.

  • It was good.

  • I mean, he was it really was a good performance.

  • Um, you know, good old Bristol demise.

  • I think he was a no doubt.

  • I mean, he was.

  • He was at his top of his game on the day and it's a good performance.

  • Um, could be improvement very well.

  • In himself is Bright, loves his work unusually enthusiastic or she loves it.

  • Andi, you can't throw enough work at you, but, um, but I think it's open when we got to see where album photo is.

  • He's He's wearing the crown at the moment, but it's like with all of us, everybody's trying to knock each other's crimes off.

  • Andi.

  • There are lots of, you know, Dustin translations and all sorts of horses.

  • Dulces work, and you could name him.

  • And I think we just gotta fight our own battle and get there as well as we can and not worry about the others.

  • You've been lucky to have plenty of Gold Corp forces over the years.

  • Does he remind you of any previous, like the likes of Long one or Bob's worth?

  • I think he has a sort of Yeah, I would like a Bob's worth.

  • It was just a dour try a without being a flashy yours.

  • Santini isn't flashy at home.

  • Is your massive Liam posing Big horse?

  • That's that's where he's not like Bob's with Bosworth was a little sort of not.

  • He was in the most prepossessing horses, the world in my lovely character.

  • Um, and he would just die for you.

  • This source will just he will gallop and jump on Dhe, stay and stay.

  • If he does that, a CZ well as he can do.

  • He ran very well in the IRA, say last year to the back of a horrible preparation.

  • So, you know, if you could just get there whether we get a clean run through these last three weeks, then you must have a good chance.

  • Now Woman will be watching King.

  • The horse racing dot net is Jerry McGraw, the jockey, because we sponsor him on and he's built.

  • A brilliant report would be where the Bear they weren't really well in the ultimate last year.

  • Is he likely said there to defend his crown?

  • No, we think not wth the objective is to Grand National always has been all season.

  • I think we'll probably pop up to Dogster next weekend for the grim Thorpe and just given run.

  • It is a little bit more time, Uh, Children's only three weeks and I don't think he'd want He's not a horse that would want to.

  • Three weeks to the national would been rotting.

  • Today was I imagine it's quite tiring.

  • Race that the ultimate.

  • Did it take a lot out of him last year?

  • The race?

  • No, but you have.

  • Course.

  • It doesn't because you go three and 1/4 miles in that company.

  • It's but it's tough.

  • Um, but we're planning on the national.

  • So we just have one run in dog.

  • Strong the ways to plan.

  • Thank very much checking TV and all the best child.

  • A pleasure.

  • Thank you.

Nikki.
