Well done Cue Card backers who kept the faith. Was on Vautour but Cue Card won that fair and square. Vautour will reverse the form at Cheltenham though. Must go for the Gold Cup.
Well done Cue Card- a massive **** you to all the people who called him everything under the sun over the years and underrated that incredible Supreme Novice form in 2011. Great for the Tizzards and the first time he has ever gone and won after being able to settle in mid division. Great race. Hope Don Cossack is okay.
Why will Vautour reverse the form? Cue card is an even better horse at Cheltenham he doesn't even like Kempton but class prevailed, he'll destroy the field in the gold cup
Beefy....in what world did you think TNO was match fit today fella....you not been reading the news? I think DON COSSACK would have won if he had stayed on his feet, was coming back strongly! VAUTOUR a classic 2m 7f horse! Take him to the Ryanair. If CONEYGREE lines up at HQ he will win!
Think 3m+ is stretching him Beefy? I just think he's a young horse and that one day he might do what Cue Card did- mature, settle, and become a stayer. I'd say you might be right- do what Cue Card did and go for the Ryanair this year.
Cos Vautour jumped left markedly on the first circuit and lost a length at every fence. Holt didn't pick it up which surprised me. My fear would be that connections opt for the Ryanair. I don't think he's got a stamina problem at all he's just better left handed. His class got him as close as he did. I hope Coneygree makes it there as well. Should be a marvellous race.
RSA Chase: Fell. Ryanair Chase: Bad mistake King George: Fell. Something about this boy under pressure at the top level that would worry me. Wonderfully talented, but likes it his way.
