One good reason for little interest is that I think there's only been about 3 European trained runners(in in the last 10 years maybe. Running Stag on the dirt and Michael Jarvis saddled Ela Athena in the Sword Dancer and had a runner in the race the next year. Oh and Martin Pipe had a runner in the Turf Writers Chase 2 or 3 years ago-who ran off the course-presumably to get to Siros early ![]() NYRA needs to take a leaf out of Ascot's book and have someone like Nick Smith who attends most of the major meetings abroad to look for connections who might want to run at Ascot. It's all very hit and miss. Some like the idea. David Donk had a horse entered to run in the 1999 2000 Guineas-who got injured-and was keen to have another attempt. A few more European runners-means fans will travel over. Pumping more money into the local economy, raising the per capita handle figure etc. |
