Punjabi Camp Happy to Remain Under the Radar
16/12/09
Tony Stafford, racing manager to Punjabi’s owner Raymond Tooth, has published his reaction to the 2009 Champion Hurdle winner’s seasonal reappearance on Saturday at Cheltenham via his blog on www.wbxtriplecrown.com.

In his latest post Stafford reveals, “On Saturday, Barry raved about his jumping and how well he went, suggesting he may even have improved, so I won’t be anticipating Khyber Kim, Celestial Halo or Medermit beating him again when they undoubtedly meet once more.”
Tony also takes time to reflect on the plans of the other crack two mile hurdlers currently trained by Nicky Henderson.
“Binocular is lined up for the Christmas Hurdle, probably not delighting connections of his Newcastle conqueror Go Native, and victory there for J P McManus’s five-year-old, as well as ending the Go Native bonus dream, would put him back on target.
With Hurricane Fly set hopefully for Leopardstown for his re-establishment after defeat by Solwhit at Punchestown, the picture could hardly be less clear.
As for the Punjabi camp, we’re happy to remain under the radar. Maybe the Welsh Champion at Ffos Las on Jan 9 could kick-start his Cheltenham repeat build-up.”
www.wbxtriplecrown.com contains a wealth of information and is packed with features relating to both the WBX.COM Fighting Fifth Hurdle and the WBX Hurdling Triple Crown.
World Bet Exchange also offers two markets relating to the WBX Hurdling Triple Crown: “Will The First 2 Legs Be Won?” and “Will It Be Won?”
Go Native is currently 2.84 to back that he supplements his victory in the WBX.COM Fighting Fifth Hurdle with a win at Kempton on Boxing Day in the Christmas Hurdle.
Looking further ahead, Go Native is 24/1 to back to become the first winner of the WBX Hurdling Triple Crown.
