Cheers Craig. Tell Us More jumped great but that's a terrible performance from something that's hyped so much.
The Captain Cee Bee, Binocular Supreme kind of emphasizes the experience point I was making Oddy. One had been to the racecourse 3 times the other 11 times. The horse with most potential doesn't always win. Except last year of course.
Oh dear...Tell us No More maybe He put in some fantastic leaps though, he'll make a smashing chaser next yr but sadly that don't help my Neptune plan
Tell Us More ran really well for most of that race but then looked a little greenish late on. Maybe just lacks a gear and will develop into a good chaser. 33/1 the winner? Genuinely can't think of many novices who have really looked outstanding this season.
Tell us More won't be winning no Neptune anyway and he finished as weak as dish water too. Of course its possible that wasn't his true running....Free Expression was well stuffed too. Strange race all considered
Prince Rudi could have been the object of that Tommy Cooper joke: "I backed a horse the other day, went off at ten to one, finished at half past two"
It's races like this dross at Plumpton that are the worst thing about horse racing. Dreadful. Every horse is out of form except the favourite, who may or may not win depending upon what connections are trying to do in the handicaps. It's wasted prize money that could be diverted elsewhere.
Really enjoyed the National at Plumpton. The winner did it well and the battle for places was great at the end. Well done if you had the winner.
Agreed and Nicholls is right about that young Bowen chap being able to get horses to run for him. Viking Blond was ready to call it a day with a circuit to go.
Bostin in the lucky last for no other reason than there has to be a Shropshire connection with that name. A local expression used to describe some act or thing of very good quality. This fella won't need to be that good to win this.
I've been looking at that race Ste. I've gone for Petit Chef each way. Can't do yours because the yard so infrequently win races. Bridgey lands his gamble with ease. It's an almost certain result when their money is down.
