Zarkandar


40/1 shot Orsippus ended a run of five consecutive favourites winning this race.

Backed Grandouet in the triumph and there is no way in hell he will ever beat Zarkandar at Aintree,he is a class above and was far better than the field,if most of the above turn up then you may get 6/4 7/4 Zarkandar which is buying money

i agree tfm, watch zarkandar quicken after the final hurdle at kempton and ask urself could grandouet go with than, even though he hit the last. not a hope

ruby doesnt get ride on zarkandar by sound of it ...

where are you getting that from?

I assumed Ruby would be on Zarkandar, but maybe Nicholls wants to keep Jacob on thinking of next years Champion Hurdle, because it would be impossible for Ruby to get off the fly

yeah id say dj keeps the ride. hes been schooling him according to nicholls

Ruby Walsh will be on Zarkandar next thursday,its not even an option for anybody else to ride

why u think that. i think daryl jacob keeps the ride

Nicholls said the other day Ruby would ride both Zarkander and Denman unless the owners requested differently which he didnt think would happen.

oh right, have u a link to that?

oh yeah, see it thanks. should win anyhow

I backed him in that first race at Cheltenham. Think he maybe another Harchibald. Comes cruising, then bombs out.

mutley are u serious or what?
did he not just win a triumph hurdle without bombing out or dogging it u muppet

I'm not usually serious, but I think I am this time. I backed Grandouet in the Triumph(made a mistake about it being 1st race of festival) and it came cruising like Harchibald and seemed to find nothing. Zarkander beat him by about 10 lenghts. I agree I am a bit of a muppet, but at least you didn't refer to me as a mug.
