Boston's Bismarck

I'm nailing my colours to the mast.

If Kings Palace wins the potato race I will never place a bet on horse racing again.

Needs soft ground.
Form is terrible.

If it wins, to steal a saying from Family Fortunes, 'I'll pay you the money myself'.

 

Good on yer Bob... Get that tack ready to knock into that mast...

 

Does that replace your previous Bismarck?

 

I kind of feel the same way about The New One in CH I'm completely baffled by the confidence people have in this horse

 

What's my other Bismarck?

 

Sire de Grugy on smug punters thread?

 

The owner lives in north Wales -he has been lumping on for a while -I suppose if he wasn't there would be an issue!

 

I don't fancy SDG but he's not a Bismarck.

 

You nap Briar Hill and sink SDG -fair enough -now its kings palace -just thought you only have one BM-the reverse of a nap if you like but it must be a pre race favorite-Barry Dennis used to do one every sat on C4 in the non PC era

 

I'm just nailing my colours to the mast Rude. Kings Palace isn't winning.

 

Agree -like many other fancies -Mullins must be jittery! Bet he's sleeping with the horses!

 

This could be another do you like value thread bob

I favour Briar Hill but Kings Palace has a massive chance in a shallow race.

 

Absolutely no danger of that happening.

 

Beef's Bismarck is also proving to be the bookie's festival LAY LAY LAY that is Big Bucks.

This one won't be winning. Has ruled supreme in a weak division and his form doesn't really stack up when you look at what's been finishing behind in his World Hurdles: Punchestown, Time for Rupert, Volver la Vedette...

Annie Power v Big Bucks is being billed as a match race. It's going to be a complete mismatch. I assure you Annie Power is on a completely different level to some of the mugs that been finishing second to Big Bucks.

Keep on talking him up Mr Nicholls, this will simply ensure we all get a better price on the festival certainty that is Annie Power. It gives me no pleasure to say this but Big Bucks is getting found out on Thursday.

 

The Giant Bolster (e/w) 20/1

Big Bucks quality being questioned now

In a year or two we might be looking back and saying Frankel didnt beat anything.

 

Mighty Man wasnt too bad either, gave Inglis Drever a race and unbeaten at Aintree until Big Bucks gave him 8 pounds and a beating.

The Annie Power hype is unreal and people want to call The New One hyped, "best since Dawn Run" "will win Champion Hurdle and Gold Cup", she has to prove she is even as good as Voler La Vedette yet never mind ****ing Quevega who has never had anywhere near this hype and was better odds to beat **** mares never mind the greatest 3 mile hurdler of all time.

 

Nice one Beefy... If Bob loses his tack for Kings Palace im sure we can find one for you and Big Bucks...


















Or they could both be right...

 

Therefore when she beats 'the greatest 3 mile hurdler of all time' she's showing justification of her reputation which, lets not forget, has been established from a flawless 10 from 10 campaign, right?!

Big Bucks is currently around the 3/1 mark, well if you fancy him, I'd wait till he hits 10/1 in running when STD is riding the ears of him and Annie Power is sitting in behind him pulling a truck...
