All Yours (IRE):
Race will be very hard and it is not easy to predicted which of all great racing mares will be that day in her best form. But if I would think All Yours has no chance, I would not enter her in race.
All mares are extremely good, respectful rivals, but I would expose as one of the best Claudia Octavia, but a good form are showing also Estinaad, Fiorhead and very good mare Najinska.
Distance 2000m we prefer to race with All Yours, so I see this distance as perfect for her.
In trainings All Yours is hones mare, showing her power and stubbornness on daily basis, but on races she always surprised us in all direction and I can not wait, what she is hiding for us this time.
I think All Yours is very good on soft ground, but last year she was good also on hard surface…more is in question how will all mares cope with heat that will be present on Sunday.
About place that would satisfied me it is hard to speak in race and company of such a good rivals, I will comment this after race 🙂
Zwegat (GER):
Zwegat`s race over a mile will be the test of all involved in preparing horses for a moment like this. In a little more than a minute and half, we will se a real gladiators of their kind in all their glory and power. To be on a field with so many fantastic horses is already an honor for me. I respect each an everyone of them, but also I respect Zwegat. He showed us he is a fighter, he is honest horse and he deserve at least one entry in race like this.
I can see all on starting list as the biggest rivals for us, no one excluded…. but I can se one star in race, shining a bit more than others, Chardonney Techeque, so we will try to follow that star.
Distance over a mile it is not what we did prefer until now, but in every race over 1400m, he is showing us, he can travel a bit longer, so here is his chance.
In trainings Zwegat is showing great form, he feels very good, and he did all with flying colours, what we asked from him, so we think he is ready.
For sure Zwegat is not a fan of soft and deep surface, but in Bratislava one side on racecourse is always softer than other, so I am hoping for normal, good ground on race day.
Well any place he will achieved is respectful, but indeed, we all have hidden hopes and ours are about place. But at the end is important to get him safe through the race.
