Ohhhh wait hahahahhaha <laugh> <laugh> it's ok mate keep backing him to beat Sprinter Sacre. He is an overhyped horse simple as that. Wow he beat Sir Des Champs over 2m4f and Bog Warrior <laugh>
 
Flemenstar knockers should remember who trains him, his season was ruined by two runs over a trip he doesnt stay in heavy ground.

He is better than we seen today, and probably the best jumper of a fence in Ireland.
 
Hopefully Cue Card gets the plaudits he deserves now! He's smashed the rest, but it's all about Sprinter wow is all I can say
 
I went for SS by less than 7 lengths, only value I could see <cracker>

SS wasn't jumping as well as usual, some sublime jumping from Flemenstar even if he did get annihilated.
 
Yip, must admit, Cue Card is a better horse than I thought, he has proved that last twice now, top class animal.

Fair play to GGW, he KNEW.
 
Therein lies the problem of distance betting. Could easily have won by twenty lengths but happy for it to be 4 1/2 lengths on the bit.
He has already run out of challengers !
 
Sprinter was out on his feet at the end, tying up, stride shortening, Bobs Worth would leave him for dead up the Cheltenham hill at 3m3.
 
Gobsmacked at that display from Sprinter Sacre - simply stunning. I think that's the furthest we'll ever see him run though.

Had a decent dabble on Walkon in the Topham -think King will have him cherry ripe for this and if he takes to the fences he could be chucked in.

You're clearly taking the p**s about SS tying up, stride shortening etc. But I wouldn't even run him in the King George let alone the Gold Cup. 2m4f is as far as he wants to go.
