Knew Conti was to short having run in the Gold Cup, really expected QDLR to go close, so very disappointed he faded so badly. Suprised First Lieutenant won, and could never have seen Menorah coming 2nd. So didnt get alot right. Backed both Thousandstars and Oscar Whisky in the next, + had a reverse forecast on them
Backed The New One as I have doubts about Grandouet over 2m4f. The New One and Countrywide Flame in reverse forecast.
Stick nahhh was never getting past him I was confident and I am being serious. If he is in front close home nothing gets past watch the replays
No shame in that defeat, still my fav horse. Wonder what would have happened if new one had joined him at the start
Great ride and battling performance by Ruby & Zarkandar. I feel it was a mistake running The New One in that. Phenomenal effort from the Novice but that effort may take its toll on him for the future and hopefully he is the same horse next year (with natural improvement of course).
The master reigns supreme, chuffed to bits for ZARKANDER and his followers (sadly i wasnt one of them ) well done to all
