Stable Tour Quotes
Joe Tizzard (03 December 2024): "He loves it around Exeter and has done his winning around there. He was fourth there the other day and still ran well. The handicapper has taken his toll and it’s a bit harder to win with him."
Joe Tizzard (12 October 2022): "I’m not sure he has fulfilled his ability yet over fences. He won well first time out and didn’t really go on. I am going to take him to Newbury on November 3rd and then we will pick and choose our way, but I think he has more ability than his mark. He was seen out his races last year, so we have given him a few tweaks and we just have to get the best out of him."
Colin Tizzard (14 October 2021): "Strike A Pose was entered this week, but I think it has dried up too much. He will make a better chaser - he won a point-to-point - but I want it to rain before we start him off in a two and a half mile novices' handicap chase."
Colin Tizzard (01 March 2021): "He won very well at Exeter last week and he is in the Albert Bartlett. He is a three-mile point-to-point winner and there is a possibility he might go there if he didn't go for the EBF Final at Sandown the Saturday before. I think he will be our only novice hurdler at the meeting if we go for that race. We won the Albert Bartlett with Kilbricken Storm and this fellow has been as impressive in his novice hurdles.""
