This horse boasts one of the best records I've seen in chases and also has a creditable record over hurdles as well. A disappointing second-place finish to Exotic Dancer at the Grade 1 Lexus Chase represents one of the few blips on War of Attritions record. This horse has never finished higher than 7th in a race and that was four years ago. Victories in The Star at Punchestown and the Thurles Chase represent two key victories this year. I think War of Attrition is a great bet for the outright victory and still brings plenty of value to the table. At 10 years old, he isn't much older than the rest of the competition and should be weighted appropriately. I predict big things for War of Attrition, but if I haven't convinced you, I implore you to consider this horse in your tricasts and forecasts.
