Tizzards hoping Breakaway has big chance against Monkfish
‘We’re at Cheltenham, so it’s not expected to be easy’.
Joe Tizzard is confident The Big Breakaway has the potential to beat the best at this year’s Cheltenham Festival – and many more to come. Assistant trainer Tizzard admits he may be biased because it was he who first spotted the strapping chestnut at the Goffs Punchestown sales almost two years ago, and helped to persuade a consortium of owners to buy him. The Big Breakaway has already repaid some of the GBP 360,000 purchase price, with three victories in his five starts for Joe and his father Colin’s Dorset yard. But Tizzard hopes those successes are merely early staging posts to Festival glories – whether in this month’s Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase, against mighty Irish favourite Monkfish, or in future years.Shan Blue – still unbeaten over fences
