I really wish I'd backed Paint The Clouds, but Aupcharlie carries my shilling, including doubles with Story. Not to Chelsea levels though!

 

[Steveo77]

Ok so a race of 2 women - 1 who will probably win and another who is likely to fall off

 

[ChelseaCOE2012]

GO ON AUP!!!!

 

[Archers Road]

Cmon the Culloty horse

[beeforsalmon]

Gwaaannnnn the good thing! Super ride Nina

 

[Grecian Mick]

I think Victoria could have won that if she was closer to the front. Anyway fantastic ride, well done.

 

[Steveo77]

Superb Nina
Stunning Victoria

I agree, i think the horse had plenty left but she seemed to be riding it like she was just wanting to stay aboard and complete.

 

[King Shergar]

She'd of pissed that race if she'd put the horse in the race earlier. Finished full of running.

 

[Chaninbar]

Don't disagree Chan at all. I always doubted Vautour as a stayer for 3m2f and I guess with that rattling quick ground (for jumping ground anyway) they may go home wondering what if...

Didn't mean any disrespect to Cue Card either, but on here we've seen far too many 'what if' hypothetical arguments in racing. Totally pointless as they cannot be proven one way or other. At the end of the day jumping round 18 fences is every bit as fundamental as getting from A to B in the fastest time! Don Cossack didn't do that on Boxing Day and he paid the price. In January Djakadam suffered that fate. Today was Cue Card's turn. Main thing is the horse lives to fight another day.

Totally agree with you on the jumping Beefy. No excuses for Cue Card at all and it was far to early to say he would have given the winner a scrap up the hill.

Very well done to Nina Carberry to. She copped some flack after the XC but got that spot on there. Fair play to VP too. She did brilliantly there. Not sure she should get £250k for the Corinthians race though.

 

[Dexter]

VP was basically told just to hunt around and finish anywhere which is a shame because the horse should have won.

Wonder will the Stewards have a word under the non triers rule .

 

[OddDog]

It's a great achievement from Victoria Pendleton, amazing what she has achieved. Yes she has had a lot of help, but so has Joseph O'Brien.

Very pleased for her. Positivity rules

 

[Reebok]

Credit where it's due ... I thought she'd fall off and she proved me wrong!

That was a steal!
