    You might be right, seems to be the majority opinion, the bookies certainly looking to take him on.

    Im not worried, I think he runs the race of his life today.

    Dynaste has his ground today. Not very original but I will be backing Mossey Joe and Western Warhorse in multiples with Dynaste.

    I do like Fox Norton, on a yard stick through RIH he should be very close but as Borris says has said he hasn't run for some time. I wonder if there is any value in the 9/1 for Diakali, obviously The New One is 3s on for a reason but I see Diakali as easily the 2nd best horse in the race decent place money on offer + an outside chance TNO has an off day.

    Mate we have Noahs everywhere. Most of the East Coast rivers and canals are full of Bull Whalers. They are a salt and fresh shark who come into the rivers to breed. The young ones stay in the rovers until they are about six feet, them move out to sea. The sharks in the open seas causing all ths **** are usually white pointers.

    Cyc, I'm not totally sure that killing them all over 3m will help much, after all it's there domain we are entering, thery are the rulers of the seas not us...!!!


    But I can see why they do, it calms the natives that they've got the killer shark...

    Don't know what to think about that... Not the best of races really... Hats off to SdC showed a bit of guts to hang on, but he did just that, he hung on... Nowt good enough to pass him...

    Red, I not one for culling either mate. I think people tend to go a bit over board at times like these.

    Silviniaco Conti was still a relatively fresh horse, he had a nice break after the King George and was likely to still have at least one more in him after the Gold Cup, people dismissed him today purely because he ran in the Gold Cup but if you looked a bit closer, hes not had a hard season, 3 runs including the Betfair where he wasnt given a hard time, this was only really his 3rd serious day out.

    Vorda done me for a fooking fortune man, cannot believe Lemaire got that beat, everything went perfect and if he kicked sooner of the farsical pace she would have won. Done a tasty treble with PSG and Charm Spirit, absolutely sick but Conti just eased the pain there.

    Well done on SC Boris. Did he simply get outstayed at Cheltenham?
