A real shame that Snow Fairy had to scratch out of the G1 Hong Kong Vase, and that she'll miss the 2012 G1 Sheema Classic as well. I'm one of those that believes for as good as Snow Fairy has looked at 10f in the Hong Kong Cup, Irish Champion Stakes, and the Champion Stakes, I believe 12f is her best and most dominate trip. But TJMO.
@follyhoog what about it, is there a point you're trying to make in there somewhere by any chance? If so maybe it would be better to just come out with it as it would be far easier......unless of course it's that Frankie is suddenly useless and Moore all conquering because one won on a particular horse and another didn't. Could it possibly be though that overall Midday is a better mare than Snow Fairy at 10f as opposed to 12f and as a 3 time Nassau winner likes Goodwood?
@amazed66 I think A Munro is a first class jockey, if he had had stayed in 1 country I am sure he would have been snapped a big stable, I know he was riding in Italy when he won that G2 , this year he tuck out a license to ride in Singapore and is licensed to ride in Qatar, he also tuck a year out and and fought on the international stage in karate, he as won 15 G1s in 6 different countries so you would think he would be on everbodys short list when it comes to international races
@kelletman yep fair enough, don't disagree with much of that & was a fan of Munro when he rode here in the UK in the late 80s/early 90s & he did well enough when he came back whenever he was on a good enough horse.
All I was saying before about Snow Fairy was that being up against the boys & winning was harder than just beating beating her own sex. Ironically if she stays in training then Workforce is retired & Stoute had a bad season just gone, so Ryan Moore could be free to ride her again.
I would like to throw another name into the mix Alan Munro, he as worked as a jockey in both HK & Japan, he can speak japanese and some cantonese, he knows the racing tactics out there well, he as won top international races all over the world including the derby and the King George the Queen Elizabeth II Cup -HK Hong Kong Gold Cup - (1)Hong Kong Champions & Chater Cup - and many more, he gave both Dettori & Fallon a lesson in riding when he won the G2 international on Indian Days, you would not
