Jelo traveled the distance with Denman’s victory – Irvine Times

Bay of Venice Williams was a favorite 6-4 under Charlie Deutsch in a seven-grade second-grade field, just three miles shy.

The geling flourished in the soft movement and clearly enjoyed the prolonged distance at its first attempt, settled in the early stages of Deutsch before taking control of the competition with two fences to jump.

Jelo approached the last obstacle a little, but in the end there was a lot in his hand and went home with three -and -a -half lengths from Hitman, which finished second in the competition for the third consecutive year.

His Paul Nicholls trains the stable Bravemansgame, which was holding for a third, defeated another six and a half in length.

Jelo has been reduced to 12-1 of the 1920s by Paddy Power for the Ryanair Chase at the Festival in Chelton next month, with Williams supporting the extended version of two and a half miles during her other entry into the champion of the Queen of two miles Chase Chase.

Williams said, “A week ago we were running in the game spirit and only 15 minutes passed before the records were closed, I looked at what was in Denman and thought” We have to be there and there. “

“We have it at Ryanair and put it in the Champion Chase, but not The Gold Cup and there is no regrets at all. I would say he’ll go to Ryanair now. He is King George’s horse for next season. It has improved with maturity and will now be straight to Chelton.

“He is a pretty strong horse and you have to forgive and I think an element of Windsor was not so much, but him protein because he was brilliant.

“Protektorat was led by great restraint when we beat him in Huntingdon in the pursuit of Peterborough and we passed away from him, but the same thing happened in the opposite in Windsor, the shoe was on the other leg.

“We scratched our head over the tactics and Peter (Davis, owner) and I left it to Charlie to decide at the beginning.

“We didn’t want him to be too keen, so he missed him immediately and he settled beautifully, almost so much that when they turned home, I wondered when Charlie would light him. When he made the turbo he came in very quickly.

“We can’t do it without the generous owners and their support, and I think it’s a cornerstone for both of us. It took us a past £ 1 million for the season and we think he had placed Peter second in the owners’ table. “
