Master Chewy Springs Minor Game Spirit Surprise – Irvine Times

The eight-year-old is trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies and was ridden by his son alone as a 11-1 shot for the second-class task, which was a target for Nicky Henderson’s invincible Sir Gino.

The last horse was a non-competitor, and the tan of the race changed, something that teacher Chewi took full advantage of the first time in 2023 with a length and a quarter over Libberty Hunter.

Matata, a stable winner, was sent by his beloved 11-8, and he directed to turn to home before the field began to close it.

He jumped the last in front, but slightly turned to running to the line, handing over the initiative to the master of the game Chewy, who remained all the way to break through his victorious running.

Coral has reduced Master Chewy champion odds to 33-1 from 66-1, but the coach believes that a longer pursuit of Ryanair may be a more appropriate option than taking a chances favorite.

He said, “He has some crushing shape and has some really good shape. Things did not always pass his way and he was beaten by horses that came out on the handicap, but it was a superb running.

“He gave weight to the mat and did a wonderful job. The funny thing is that every time they compete with each other, Master Chewi has almost always defeated the mat. The only time it didn’t happen was when he fell into Archel and they are both beautiful horses and you can never separate them.

“Teacher Chewi would always work and finish strong and probably needed an extra further – we might manage it at Ryanair. I’ll talk to the experts, but Ryanair can be easier than championship.

“The owners (Ann-Marie and Jamie Shepherd) were very supportive, they are our stable sponsors and are superstars. They lost, I like to move it the next year, which was a terrible time, but it was exciting and wonderful. “

From the mat, he added, “He may come too early after Windsor and that’s what I put on.

“He will definitely go to the Champion Chase. He ran his heart last time, and that probably came a little too soon. We have a good four or five weeks until the next one, so on and up. “

Evan Williams could also look at the Champion Chase with Libberty Hunter, with a handicap entrance also on the table.

He said: “The horse was running well and there were no complaints, he was the second best of the day, but gave us a lot of optimism in this assessment of the future.

“It’s such a huge jump to this level and it’s so nice when you have one that can overcome the precipice.

“He will be listed on the big annual and he is in the Champion Chase and we will need to see which is the best option. Adam Ked is convinced that he is a better horse around the Chelkham from a flat track.

“He deserves his place in the Champion Chase Field maybe, and if he appears really soft in Chelton, you may be inclined to take a punch.”
