Cavite Eta showed plenty of promise before falling upsides in front at the last
Cavite Eta showed plenty of promise on his debut when falling upsides at the last when looking like the winner on Sunday at Chaddesly Corbett. The eventual winner pulled up 2 fences from home before restarting the race. I'm more sorry for the horse than anyone else. It is the last thing he deserved, he's a very accyrate jumper on the whole. He is a light framed horse and I had hoped he'd win. Had he have won I would without question have put him away until offering him for sale at the Brightwells Cheltenham sale on 13th April. However, he will now have to run again before and the plan is to enter him for Siddington in 3 weeks time. The track will suit him and fingers crossed he'll win and get a well deserved rest and some spring grass. He will be a better horse with another summer under his belt as he still has a lot of filling out to do. He certainly has gears!
