Novice Grade 1 winner Zabana was a fatality in the Lexus too. Sad day for connections of both and an awful couple of days for Willie Mullins.
ACT PROMPTLY Gents, if any of you have any Cheltenham ante post bets in BET365 that are now looking like lost causes you can cash them out this afternoon. I think this is a rick that they will very soon amend so you need to get on there fast!
i've looked for dk post regarding this before the race , obviously didn't think it worth mentioning , i did outlander ew only because of his course form , you have to wonder how he'd have got on without the slog in haydock ........
Well done, you have had an awfully good Xmas. Or at the very least aftertimed a very good one. I backed it at SP for peanuts and only actually had the bet so I could watch the race live.
I was drawn to Outlander originally but the market was pretty much screaming that RTR was the Gigginstown no1.
That's a new one, screen shots of texts between mates to prove no after timing. Maybe just say what your backing before hand like the rest of us.
Its been a "daily thread" rule since Methusela was a lad fella....if you want to crow about it, put it up on here before it runs, not after. If you didnt put it on here, we dont give a flying **** what you have backed! Have you seen the number of winners on here in the last few weeks, its been phenominal, we dont need the after timed ones thank you.
On that basis Tea for Two might have won the King George then??I don't subscribe to the theory of running racehorses once or twice a year for them to be at their best.
Running them in deep ground at full pelt takes a lot out of even the best, obviously on the day owners have to take the decision, sometimes it pays off, other times it doesn't, no coincidence that the easy looking winner of that race was cooked for the king George, despite the trainers optimistic noises, it's a fine line between over exertion and bringing one to the boil..........., I was only summising the possibility........ Only an opinion....., but history shows that many horses never repeat the feat of winning gruelling top class races
Apologies, hope I can be forgiven ... By the way I knew road to respect would win yesterday but forgot to post, damn it
Good points made Rude ...Kemptons speed track a totally different ball game however to a slog at Haydock. Don't bet against Bristol De Mai running a big race in the Cheltenham Gold Cup especially if soft is in the going description.
