Mark Fahey talks about the potential stable Star Tina's Indian – as well as a lively outsider for the coach at the Cheltenham Festival
Trainer Mark Fahe has revealed that he from Royal Ascot for the potential stable stern Tinas Indian (Irish) (Calyx {GB}) dreams first takes the man, who is generally considered one of the sharpest teenage coach in Ireland Hurd-Hurd-Flacker-Back-Back-Back-Back-Back-Back-Back-Back-Back-Back-Back-Back-Back-Back-Back (Buck). of the network.
Flicker of Hope will represent the first runner of the smaller trainer at the Cheltenham Festival “Smaller Trainer” when the four -time winner for the hurdle of Albert Bartlett Novices looks for the six -year -old with 14: 1. According to Fahey, the dream is to end the money.
“It's my first runner at the Cheltenham Festival,” he said. “Everyone keeps telling me that Flicker of Hope has the right profile for Albert Bartlett – he had 10 runs over hurdles, which is almost unknown to a beginner. He is hardened by the trip and has a enormous handicap experience that should be in a race like the Albert Bartlett. “
Fahey added: “He jumps, he travels and he doesn't seem to stop, so we look forward to getting there, and hopefully he can achieve a great performance. It would be a dream to place with him in the enclosure of the winner and go back to the enclosure of the winner. And I think he has the chance. I really do it. “
Fahey has already improved the balance of six winners of last season over jumps and is currently on 11. The upward railway of his County Kildare stable is reflected in the apartment, which last year was seen in the domestic strand in a career high-high-high.
Fahey said: “The dream is still alive with him! Our plan is to decide the joy of the Curragh, and basically I'm a petite coach and I don't have many black horses in the apartment, so we dictate how we go to the rest of the year. I have no horses that are rated 100 so that we can reduce a measuring force so that we do not know how well Tina's Indian is until we bring it into a listed race. The dream is Royal Ascot. That would be the ultimate. He is definitely the best flat horse I've ever had in my garden. “
He added: “Shane Foley and Ronan Whelan are a great lend a hand for me. They ride horses in this caliber all the time, so it is brilliant to have their feedback. We are confident that Tina's Indian can be competitive this season in such races. We don't know where the ceiling is with him. He is a lovely Huge Horse-He 17 HH. That took us so long with him. “
Fahey continued: “You need good owners, good staff and nice horses and at the moment I have all three. I have great employees and great family and friends in me. The owners are also great, they just let me go on with things and do what I have to do. I am lucky that I could get some good horses in my hands. There is also very lucky to get Tina's Indian because he was not sold as a yearling and after winning the Curragh, there were many offers on the table. “
He concluded: “Fair play with Contrington and James Hughes, who has him, as they said, they would rather roll the cube on the track. Do not understand me wrong, we were knocked away from the offers – there was a lot of money – but con and James are sports companies and we are all quite excited about what could be in stock. They dream as much as I am with Tina's Indian, but they understand the game better than everyone else and know that the bubble could burst quite lively! But he is definitely the best flat horse I have ever had to do with, and we look forward to finding out more about him in the joy. “
