All good here cheers Dan, apart from the hex you put on my other 3 lol. As much as I'd love to see Sizing win today, I can't back him, just feel as he will get beat ��
I love the horse but wasnl' going to back him today. I'm still convalescing from open wallet surgery after Novellist was pulled out of the Arc
Nice to see you posting Sizing - shame you didn't back him fella, he did that very nicely. Ryanair this time round I reckon
I hope so Oddy. It was courageous and very sporting to run him in the champion Chase last year rather than take the "easier" route (no disrespect Cue card fans) but really and truly they should now just try and get that one last festival victory.
I was saying this to my mates who were talking about laying him this season. The only way he won't win is by not finishing. That wouldn't sit well with me as you're basically banking on a horse to fall. If yiou haven't got 10k in your back pocket the only real bet worth having in any of his races is to find something else you like at a price and do the tote place or w/o SS bet.
QUEEN AVALON is interesting for Lucy Wadham in the first Fontwell bumper, she had a winner here yesterday and her only previous bumper runner here won. In the second leg I cannot understand why SAFFRON WELLS is not a hot fav! Great to see you posting Sizing! You picked the right day!
So chuffed he won, and yes another Cheltenham win for him would be fantastic! Good to see the usual crowd still posting, I should be back on now proper racing is getting into gear
Poor from Soul today.... Good run from Loving Spirit who was bit unlucky ..I .finished just about evens so until next time and all that! p.s dont like last minute jockey changes ...bloody ryan moore on heavens guest!!
Evening all. Haven't caught any racing as other commitments- just wondered if we have a solid consensus on the ground at Longchamp. Read reports of soft going? Also, I see Sizing Europe has won hasn't he? What a grand servant!
Didn't look overly testing to me Toppy - good-soft is what I'd go with, maybe soft in places. Right decision to pull The Fugue but shouldn't be a problem for any of the runners tomorrow I wouldn't think. Sizing Europe was foot perfect and won a touch cosily. Hard to know what the performance merits this early but hopefully they'll be aiming him at the Ryanair
He'll be 12 in January and has been a grand servant to connections. I agree with you, should be aimed at the Ryan Air as he has next to no chance of beating Sprinter Sacre in the Champion. Sizing Europe vs Cue Card in the Ryan Air, both front runners and have no doubt Sizing would've won three seasons ago when he won the 2011 Queen Mother Champion Chase, but he'll be 12 when it's next year's Cheltenham Festival so I reckon Cue Card will win but I'll be cheering on Sizing Europe!
exacta paid 10.70 and I went for the straight win on Third Party The perils of drinking whilst gambling - my rational argument for the forecast went out of the window after a couple of ales. Oh well, nil desperandum.
