Thanks Oddy- I noted how easily he was travelling and was being caressed into it and was then very puzzled when pulled up- hope it was nothing serious and was precautionary.
A friend of yours has a leg in two horses going to Cheltenham? He is either very rich or extraordinarily lucky. Is his name McManus?
You made a boring sunday very worthwile! Hope Goonyella can get the double up. And yeh will be this week, just waiting for the odds to be released, won't be as easy as a flat winner, as every single horse at Cheltenham is pretty much there to win and tuned up to perfection, but it's more just information that the horse that runs next saturday is deliberately skipping cheltenham for the imperial cup and has been laid out all season for it and likewise with the horse @ Cheltenham. And obviously everything will be at their bests and it's tougher to get a nailed on winner over jumps, but my mate is just buzzing all the two trainers of them regard them so high and think they will be going onto even bigger things next year and these are the first two steps. The Cheltenham one is 14/1 and the other should be around 10/1 anyway so will be a nice e/w double, and regardless of the info side of things and hugely positive yard vibes they have big chances anyway and most of you will recognise both horses immediately and likely would have chosen them anyway, so it's just good to be able to give an extra insight that both yards really think highly of them and will be aiming for even bigger things next season even though the Imperial Cup and O'Brien County Hurdles are huge races in their own merits.
Pissed it well done. Should have just ignored my two and just backed yours would have been cheaper and would have had a bit more profit than I do have!
Cheers guys, hard held, pretty much how you want your punts going in! 4/1 + race so what wins the 4.00?
I'd be on the favourite Alderburgh if I was picking one unless you've got something else in mind I won't be having a bet
Happens Nass, the horses go wrong and you can't understand why. Happened to Lavelle a few years ago. Could apply it to Rebecca Curtis also.
I've got £20 sat in my PP account was thinking of chucking it on Gallant Oscar over in Ireland but might split it between the two now!
