terrible ride by. mccoy. why was he adament he wanted to be last? He only beat the winner narrowly at christmas, and overturn has beat him this season so why did he now think he can give them a head start? maybe im pocket talking, but not happy. anyone know if bino got 4th?
PN: Hit the mother of all flatspots, then finished like a train. Oh well. Brilliant from both Rock On Ruby and Overturn. Something was very wrong with the Fly?
Zarkander did run on well but never landed a blow. Stamina is essential at Cheltenham but the downhill run before they turn in leaves a lot flat footed.Zarkander was hopelessly outpaced as expected. Needs farther.
I think something may be up with Willie's horses. We'll find out now in the next couple of races with ScotsIrish, Uncle Junior and most notably Quevega
Worryingly he said earlier that he had to give Quevega a little break as he wasnt happy, but that she seemed in good form now. Its the ground thats the concern- that looks pretty quick to me out there.
Tell you one thing, Ruby Walsh hasn't looked happy all day. I might be reading into it, but something does seem up with him. He looked despondent sat on the Fly at the start of the race. He's never like that.
uncle junior is very weak. wonder whats up with him. was my each way bet to nothing but not touching it now.
Is it me or did Alistair down look a little too smug when announcing that charlie brooks got nicked this morning?
scotsirish in the next for me but I also reckon Garde Champetre is a very good e/w bet - has the horse ever finished out of the top 3 round here?
lads is it just me or did ruby start the fly to far back,overturn and rock ruby all ready had five lengths on him at start and it's a mighty quick race,same can be said about mccoy
Conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. Got nicked with the missus. I love the fact they waited till the first day of Cheltenham to arrest a racing journalist! Double Dizzy in this one.
