29 Oct Beer Goggles sets sights on Newbury return
Beer Goggles is place to produce his long-awaited return against the powerful Paisley Park in the Ladbrokes Long Distance Hurdle.
Nicky Martins eight-year-old won the Newbury Grade 2 on his penultimate start back but has been absent for almost two years as a result of accident he suffered at Cheltenham.
Martin is not anticipating an instantaneous return to Beer Goggles glory days, in the scene of his victory, and create him a 33-1 outsider on Friday to regain his name in the cost of Stayers Hurdle winner Paisley Park.
The plan would be to move if it doesnt rain a lot, he can, said the Minehead coach.
The Oscar gelding has been owned by her under her Bradley Partnership banner – but he was trained by Richard Woollacott a year 34, when he sprang a surprise that was 40-1 in this race.
Beer Goggles have been nursed by martin back to complete fitness and health, and was decided to remain patient prior to sending him back into the races.
She added:He only did a small tendon (in Cheltenham). He had a hole, so hed stem cells.
We were going to run him in the back-end of this past year, scanned him decided another summer would benefit.
Hes had all the time he can have.
Preparation has gone so far, but Newbury will inevitably reveal considerably more about Beer Goggles preserved skill and future that was racing.
Martin expects she has him as fit as you can to return.
He did a racecourse gallop at Chepstow three weeks ago and came home undamaged, she said.
He cried on Tuesday and he was intact on Wednesday morning. Fingers crossed.
You simply dont know. We could just get the 1 runhe or she is indefinitely.
He is just eight years old, and so thats the reason why we gave him a time – he had enough time on his side.
The quandary was to locate the comeback race – with chances because Beer Goggles stays a hurdler regardless of his lack.
He is restricted about where he could go – it is a very major race for a horse who has had two years off, but where else do we go? Martin asked.
Hed get his injury at Cheltenham, so I am sort of reluctant to deliver him down that hill again.
Newbury is flat, hes won there, so its a good starting point.
