RV, I don't think he was wanting to go past, he was looking at Overturn coming down to the hurdle, I wasn't sure that he was going to go past, even with a clear jump.
80% fit Nass and still came to the last looking menacing. Don't forget Overturn was getting weight and was race fit
Oscar come to join Overturn at the last and was going to win well imo. Made up around 4 lengths after his first mistake
Oddy, betting suggests that he was more than fit enough to do himself justice, he was being talked about as a challenger for Big Bucks, but from that I think he is going to have a hard season if they go up against BB.
Hendo said the other day he wasn't looking forward to giving Overturn 8lbs first time out. He has nothing to prove has already beat a high class horse in Thousand Stars (hope he runs in world hurdle this year) and was 3rd in a high class champion hurdle behind the fly and Peddlers- already proved himself to be top notch.
Nass - Bazzas blog on ATR said he'd come on for it: I was very happy when I schooled Oscar Whisky recently and he’s a horse who doesn’t take a lot of getting ready so while he’ll improve he should be more than capable of doing himself justice in the first of several very important races this season. I think he would have got there with a good leap at the last but it's immaterial now. Why are they playing that soppy ****e music on C4 in the background to the KS feature - sickly
KAUTO STARRRRRRRRRRRR Amazing Scenes - Simon Holt - And Kauttooooooo Starrr is still the Kinggggggggggg
KING KAUTO STAR!!!!!!!!!!! <cracker ALL TIME GREAT!!!! SENSATIONAL LAST JUMP! AMazing racing moment!!
Sensational by Kauto Star, absolutely superb over the fences. BTW I am backing Long Run for a repeat Gold Cup win in the coming days
Not often you sit there with a smile on your face whilst entering another red number into the book - magnificent for the game, a true legend. Hail Kauto.....
Jesus 6/1 - well done all who were on. Amazing performance, simply amazing. Never touched a twig, I don't think I've ever seen him jump so well. Long Run disappointing and made too many jumping errors - he is not the machine he is portrayed as, even if he will come on for that
11 year old showing how its done, putting the young guns in their place. what a horse, no bet and a was nervous and roaring him on.
