That has made my day!!! ha ha ha ! Serves them right for going for the wrong race - Annie Power beaten. Superb! Atfisherscross 3rd for me at 10s. Someone on here seemed to think he'd be pulled up! lol Gotta feel sorry for McCoy - he was on the wrong one again! But first to congratulate Geraghty. Very sporting...
What he said. Annie Power in the JLT. Faugheen in the RSA. Easy for Rich Ricci. Surely MTOY will stay hurdling?!
Big Bucks- what a legend he has been over the years. Last year was his shot at the 5-timer, this year it was all too much at that age. Happy retirement
Annie Power was outstayed by More Of That, wasn't a case of her not staying the trip IMO (as Ruby Walsh confirmed), was bang there jumping the last. Somehow I doubt we'll see her in next season's World Hurdle, think 2m4f is her optimum trip. More Of That remains unbeaten after 5 races, isn't yet the finished article and he will improve, who knows how good he'll turn out to be next season! Hope Big Bucks enjoys a happy retirement, he was the best staying hurdler of all time until today, great reception from the crowd.
he even said that he thought he'd picked the wrong one after winning the first in his post race unguarded moment with the plunkett ...how right he was ..
Cunningham, let it lie... We all know there are only 2 flights left in the last 7f's... Get a new bleeding line will yer...!!!!!
I think many of the Irish have made a quick exit from the racecourse with their tales between their legs.. Listening to them she was unbeatable!. I cant wait for tomorrow and I dont think Bobsworth is a certainty like a lot of people seem to think! Im looking forward to seeing my fave horse tomorrow - Teaforthree. He will certainly show a lot of them tomorrow how to jump and is a previous festival winner... for me a chance at a place at a BIG price
Great reception for BB..the NH fraternity are a very unique sporting bunch. Cracking race and the first two pulled well clear...and a super result for the layers. Is this the start of a new era of domination in the world hurdle for the winner?...or will he go fencing?...JP has made no secret of the fact he lacks a good staying 'chaser.
