I looked at that market as well and to be honest thought that was as bad if not worse. it's division where there's no way to really know what is the second best 3m hurdler. Willie has the strongest hand to play but I can't imagine he'll send all of his big guns to this one race. Zaidpour, So Young, Mikael and Mourad all running? He might do that but then how does anyone know which one is their best? I've watched all of their races for the last few years and couldn't say which was best. Zaidpour, for me, has been the most impressive if I follow the general feeling that the Supreme is working out well as he came 7th and was widely reported to not be 100% right in that race. So if I follow that trail of thought in the w/o Big Bucks market i can get 9/2 about Zaidpour finishing second. Is that a good price? I don't know but i'm leaning towards it not being particularly attractive.
Quel it's a dodgy race full stop as many horses will be ridden for a place, knowing they can't beat His Royal Highness King Bucks. He's a great way to enhance your Cheltenham prices by sticking them in doubles with him Our Girl Salley in the next
Exactly Stick. Exactly. Henderson comes across so poorly during interviews. He looks incredibly uncomfortable.
I don't think there is anything nasty about it. It sounds like a tendon and that means he won't be running.
Thanks OddDog and Reebok....I'm hoping to get back up to league 1 today C4 has just shown the wrecked fence at Ascot! Horrible, horrible fall for the horse...I take it he was alright.
6/4 now - proven graded horse against the handicapper moving up the ranks. Mikael's just advertised the form of Our Girl Salley's third to him as well. It's interesting enough just to watch this one. KGL's won us all a load of cash recently so why bother.
She looks the best of the lot in this race Reebok. I've had a double here with Kentford Grey Lady and Al Ferof... I hate going against Nicholls/Walsh on Saturdays though even though Violin Davis as been behind KGL once before. Money coming in for the Nicholls horse
That could be very much the truth but Needles has a lot of form with this type of stunt and I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him.
No secret how much I adore KGL but the yards form is dipping dramatically in my opinion so wouldnt be rushing to back their 6/4 shots!
Did anyone else watch him squirm talking to Sir Robert and end every one of his sentences with.... bollocks or was that just me?
