Maybe once they get his hurdles handicap rating and it's low enough, they will be able to win a little handicap hurdle with him. Shame really, the owner's missed a great opportunity here in the US by going long, over timber fences, and usually getting fast ground; all which would have played to his strengths.

I'll be curious to see where he's shows up for his next start.

Me too but the difference is I look at something like this and have NO clue if it's a good move for him or greed-inspired or what.

I would, of course, love to see him win something, some day.
