Dai Walters will not rush Oscar Whisky decision
Tuesday 18 December 2012 11:04, UK
Owner Dai Walters is in no rush to confirm Oscar Whisky for the Ladbrokes World Hurdle in March in the wake of the news that Big Buck's has been ruled out for the rest of the season.
"He'll certainly have an entry for the World Hurdle, anyway, but if the ground was like it was at the weekend in March he'd run in the Champion Hurdle. "We don't want to ask him to race over three miles if he's not a three-miler. Not many horses win the Aintree Hurdle three times and we'd be quite happy doing that. "I'm really sorry for Andy Stewart (owner of Big Buck's) though, he's a friend of mine."
