8/11 a few days ago, should a been 1/10 Thank god for mugs like Boris around What a ****ing champion. Unbeatable on soft.
Brain Power already beaten when it fell, I think. Jumping not good enough, speed not up to Un de Sceaux standard.
What have I got to do with the price, I glanced at the race for the first time at 3.32, didnt have a bet. To be fair to Un De Slow hes got some record, 8 G1s, 20 wins from 26 runs and 3 G1 2nds. Shows how good Sprinter Sacre was to still destroy him when well past his best.
Worse horses than THE NEW ONE have won the Champion Hurdle in the past 20 years! Rock On Ruby and Katchit spring to mind.
Close call that...I thought ch'tibello had it won but the line just didn't come in time. Fair play to the New One that extra bit of stamina came to the fore. I think ch'tibello will be better on good to soft in the Champion hurdle but I am not sure he is good enough to place after that where he was getting 6lbs.
Hate to disagree with you but he was hampered too early in the race to say it cost him. Fair enough he was beaten a couple of lengths in the end but his record in Grade 1’s since is there for all to see - not up to it.
Yep 2 crap 10 year olds took centre stage today. One with a couple of Grade 1s and a whole bunch of Grade 2s. The other with 8 Grade 1s and a few Grade 2s, over a million each in prize money and both pretty ordinary apparently. I wouldn't mind a leg in either.
