Morrison feels Quickthorn may have been over the top
Stayer’s form tailed off last October, too.
Hughie Morrison says it is “unlikely” that Quickthorn will line up in the Qipco British Champions Long Distance Cup after being tailed off behind Kyprios at ParisLongchamp on Saturday. The five-year-old completed a hat-trick of pattern-race victories when taking the Lonsdale Cup at York in August, but finished a lacklustre sixth of 12 in the Prix du Cadran. “I think the formbook, taking Tashkhan into account, says we should have been beaten three or four lengths,” said Morrison.Quickthorn takes the Weatherbys Hamilton Lonsdale Cup Stakes by a massive margin!
