Hey all

I've heard that NASD is working in blinkers , can anyone shed some light on this ? As to how he went?

I know that after Saturday's effect he would have to improve a hell of a lot to win or even place in the slipper .

Really I can't understand his last performance ( the stable has such a huge opinion of him )

This horse should of beaten Dance Hero in the MM , so running out a strong 1200m isn't the problem . He just didn't seem interested on saturday .

So what's up ?

I don't know but i hope the blinkers give him 6 lengths. I have him in doubles and outright for a bit of cash.

It wasn't the real NASD last start but i won't be outlaying any more cash on him in hope he turns up. I am saving on Dance Hero.

Would be good if anyone can shed some light on his situation though.

Why should have NASD beaten Dance Hero in the MM?

Dance Hero ran a track record from the front!

NASD raced like an extremely sour horse on Saturday.

However, I think he has a lot of natural ability. I also think that a good spell now will be very beneficial for him as a 3YO. The Futurity (at least) springs to mind...

However he is owned by a major stud (Arrowfield) so results are important.....

There is not a single doubt that they will press on to the Slipper - to the ultimate detriment of the horse.

I backed Polar Success in the Slipper last year. So I am not bagging Roggie. But at this stage of the game she was flying. NASD is not.

As far as the Golden Slipper is concerned -

NASD = GONE.

Cheers...McGarret

Shame on you Oli.
I've told you a number of times that this thing cannot win the slipper.
I can't believe you've backed him at all.

And the moral of the story is....

Never bet on the Golden Slipper. Ever.

NASD is his father's son.

This horse is destined to be a stallion and will throw in an untidy run or two. Or three or four :)

Saturday's performance was disappointing.

Let him be until Spring as he has the potential to be anything....but it is all up to him.

:)

You can always forgive a good horse one bad run. I'd expect him to bounce back this time around.

His run wasnt fantastic the other day but it wasnt shocking, was still incontention for a place til the finish. Always forgive a horse for one bad run.
