It's a little annoying that the jumps owners/trainers over here wont go and mop up that race every year, cos at least that way we'd have one BC success on the board. I suppose its right at the beginning of our season, and there's a chance that by sending a decent horse over you may be wrecking the rest of his campaign.
Most of them are much more traditionalist in nature compared to those who have Flat horses, and will only consider the prestigious races in GB & Ire. Either way I'm surprised that Francois Doumen for one hasn't chosen to send a few over.
