Probably the only person in the world who is betting against Thistlecrack. Hope he absolutely ****ing annihilates the field but just can't see it, hopefully my money not on it and on Many Clouds will help! No winning favorite in that race since 1999, history against him, Cheltenham fences are a whole different ball game too and he is quite a dodgy jumper at times. Won't be fully exerting or wound up either with the Gold Cup in mind, this is a big one for Many Clouds who will be raring to go, and made a good winning return after his wind op too. Won this race in 2015 too.
Djakadam apart.. Dynaste, Rocky Creek, Grands Crus, Time For Rupert/Diamond Harry, Punchestowns, Carruthers Hardly in the sphere of Thistlecrack?
Time for one of my ****er bets Doncaster 15.40 8 points Bigbadjohn 5/1 BV 5 points Southfield Royale 8/1 PP and others
Yeah that all night 4mm of rain. Course stating Soft, Good to Soft in places. If that is right then Thomas Crapper looks a good bet to me.
So the 11th richest man in Wales, Mr Walters, has Davy Russell as retained jockey and he is over to rise William Henry in the Neptune trial. Fast forward 70 minutes to the last race on the card, where Walters has John Constable running, yet Russell rides Bigmartre. Huh?
Silly bets for small stakes today: (1) Heinz on the shorties: Ivan Grozny, Thistlecrack, Charli Parcs, Unowhatimeanharry, Vroum Vroum Mag, Un De Sceaux (2) E/W Lucky 15: Singlefarmpayment, Dawn Missile, Looking Well, Cole Harden
