Lack of match practice can't help. I know they did it with Quevega a number of years but she's very much the exception. Horses (Quevega apart) very rarely win at the festival with this sort of prep. Good luck to any journo trying to get an interview from Rupert. He wasnt overly chuffed after the Champion Hurdle where his was well beaten. Get that Fat twat in the hat of the fookin TV - prick.
Ruby must be an absolute magician to be able to control a horse to flick the top of a hurdle and fall lol wise up its just complete bad luck lads
RichTea spoke well then on the trolls of the world... It happened, it's racing, it's hard to take but don't be going after Ruby because you did your nuts on horse that was meant to win. The fav's don't always win do they, just as today has been a microcosm of that fact... She looked really good, in his hands and cruising. But in racing, and especially jumps, you gotta get over them to win it... Just glad the both of them are up and well...
I'm pretty sure Ruby left his spleen at Cheltenham Hospital one year following a fall. I'd be pretty certain he's not keen to ever fall off.
that smug ricci , what a horrid guy , ripping off all the punters , to increase his profits , shameless capitalist .
Result! I had my account balance at 1/2 that you'd be on to comment on that interview. Enhanced odds for shameless capitalist thrown in
That was my banker! All ready to collect..we were all getting excited in pub and then 'what the?'...you gotta laugh! I m pretty certain he didn't do it on purpose despite it being ricci owned...just think he was too casual..Annie power mark 2 for sure!
CLOSE BROTHERS HANDICAP CHASE another tough handicap,but i ll take a chance on HUNTSMAN SON e w hereits always a worry,to run a horse so soon back again,but he won well enough at newbury last time out,and i hope,it hasnt taken too much out of him.can race off the same mark today,so not impossible,he ll be in the mix here..
Highway One O One, Cubomania or Springtown Lake were the ones I liked for this one looking at it last week... Cubomania takes my money, but I've just a little nibble on H101...
what a rout ......... another Irish domination day. Why are we always surprised (except Ste of course!)
You can read the preview thread but I have smashed up the handicaps today and I can’t imagine any of the fat jockeys are keeping up
Roaring Bull had a horrendous run through there and made a terrible mistake down the back straight that completely stopped him in his tracks. The ground probably went against him a bit too. Definitely think he is one to keep an eye on in the future, think he has a big race in him.
