GAVIN CROMWELL HAS been dealt a huge blow with his Grand National hope Flooring Porter being ruled out for the season.
Only days ago Cromwell was plotting a route to Aintree for his dual Stayers’ Hurdle winner, who last time out put up a scintillating display in the Kerry National.
Despite being put up a stone by the handicapper, that performance had Cromwell dreaming of Aintree glory, but plans are now on hold.
Speaking in his William Hill blog, Cromwell said: “Unfortunately, it looks as though Flooring Porter will be out for the season. He’s picked up an injury and his return date suggests he’ll most likely miss the rest of this campaign.
“The timing of it means it’s unlikely he will be able to make it back for the big meetings in the spring, so it’s in the best interest of the horse to give him all the time he needs to recover.
“He’s been a real star for us so far so it’s really unfortunate that we won’t be able to see him again this term. He’s given connections some amazing days up until now and hopefully there will be many more of those to come.”
Good stuff lads, keep it up!
Those lads are a breath of fresh air .. so down to earth . Let their hands do the talking .. unlike that all brash all cash big mouth Dubliner
@Steve McMahon: unless they lose of course, then it is everyone elses fault
@Steve McMahon: in what planet has that brash Dubliner NOT let his hands do the talking? Hard to think a mick Conlon article could go by without someone begrudging the Champ Champ.
@Steve McMahon: steve is a dick
@Barry Barrison: chump chump more like
He is a good looking fella so heres hoping he makes a mint and gets the attention he deserves after he becomes world champ.
A top bloke and a cracking fighter. Heading up myself to watch him and am looking forward to this fight more than Framptons fight.
