New Posts For Thread: Binocular - McCoyhttps://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/28929855/binocular---mccoyHiI didn't hear AP's reaction to the race; I thought he jumped brilliantly for the most part. Just wanted to know what AP thought of his hurdling today, as he was v critical of his jumping at Kempton. Was a very taking performance imo, Celestial HaloMe too Viking - I was quite confident in my bet on Overturn w/o HF until today.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/28929855/binocular---mccoy?post_id=516532803#516532803Me too Viking - I was quite confident in my bet on Overturn w/o HF until today.Sat, 18 Feb 2012 15:57:10 -0600Strontium, either that or he's been on one of those nice holidays to Ireland again...Also it's worth noting that he was only supposed to be going for a racecourse Gallop.

He's won there 3 times but I always think its not a place he loves. I agree he was lethal last yr, he butchered Overturn, but this yr (which was quite smart), his Adonis, his beating by Go Native all pitched against his Champhttps://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/28929855/binocular---mccoy?post_id=516528615#516528615Just a hunch Strontium.

I'm surprised you think he dislikes Kempton though - The Christmas Hurdle run in Jan 2011 is the best I've I ever seen him I think. He was simply awesome that day. He reminded me a bit of that today.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/28929855/binocular---mccoy?post_id=516528241#516528241RC - I basically agree with that.

I was however surprised how well he traveled because having seen him plenty of times now I have seen him bulging with veins & muscle before the race and this is when he has ran well.

TodSat, 18 Feb 2012 13:53:59 -0600Masterminded - how did he look in the paddock? He often sweats up and looks dull in his coat. If he's looking well as well that must be a good sign.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/28929855/binocular---mccoy?post_id=516527231#516527231Masterminded - how did he look in the paddock?

He probably ran to about 170 today and looking at him in the paddock I'd say there is more to come.
