    I wasted 30 minutes of this morning watching it - but what else would I be doing lol To be fair Chan, the graphics and appearance was pretty good, I take issue with the computer's conclusions obviously weighted according to the data input. How can they include the "luck" factor where ANY horse can be taken out or hampered by a faller?

    I have posted this before but today is an apt retelling of it ... back in the 70's, The Sun ran a computerised version of the GN where all the runners were previous winners. One of the bookies (possibly Corals) were taking bets on the race, so after due diligence at the form books, I stuck a tenner on Red Rum (about half my weekly wage back then) Rummy DID win, at 5-1, but only afterwards did the full results show that there were fallers BASED ON A RANDOM SELECTION BY THE COMPUTER! I might not have risked my kids lunch money had I known <laugh>

    JLT would look the race wouldn't it? Speed but can stay. Hope to follow in the footsteps of the magnificent beast Yorkhill who also won this race enroute to JLT glory :biggrin:

    Unlucky Forest Bihan.

    Waiting Patiently definitely a horse to follow next season on softer ground, beat Politologue and Forest Bihan this season and looks very high class. Maybe a King George runner for Malcolm Jefferson? First horse on my 10 to follow list next season.

    Will be adding him to some accas for the JLT then. Speaking of YORKHILL - I've got him for next years Gold Cup but am I just pissing in the wind there?
