    Unreal run from a novice that! Reward for the brave decision there big style. Happy with my 2 running behind him too. Sickbag Conti, he just doesn't get up the hill.

    Having been very critical of connections for running in this, I've never been happier to be proved wrong.

    Delighted for connections of Coneygree, could see how much it meant to connections (especially Lady Oaksey). Pleased to see a small stable winning the Gold Cup, the brave decision they made to run a novice paid dividends. What a race it will be in next season's Gold Cup if Don Poli and Coneygree turn up in top form! My money would be on Coneygree as he's only been beaten once in his career.

    Ok I've calmed down a bit now - although I AM a bit excited by the pending end of the competition :D

    Salsify for me, all in, on the nose, second place is the first loser, and all the other cliches :)

    But I still can't better Oddy's comp total <ok>

    Spooky Reebs, I'm on Salsify too here but only for small stuff. Too much excitement <yikes> I've had to open a beer. Well done on your Coneygree ante post.

    I don't necessarily think its the jockeys fault more like the ****wit with the flag on a power trip!
