revedesivola ... very funny. Your post is out of order as was CVBs. Your allegiance to him or others doesnt bother me in the least. There are a lot of posters I dont bother reading and you will be another.
|
|
By:
maybe you should read more of them. would it not worry you if many people were of the same opinion
|

By:
CV,would not dismiss Denman so readily my friend.
No run now till March will see a much fresher horse than last season,and imo see a tactic used that has not been seen since he last won the race,and Sam Thomas the jockey that day will be back on board.Very much a 3 horse race imo,and IC should be the fav. |
|
By:
I agree bud, Denman can't dismissed. He may not have been 100% earlier this year and going there fresh on the back of an excellent run in the Hennessy too. It's between the three. But I'd favour IC and Kauto more though.

I have proven a lot of people wrong on here it isnt my problem if they react like children.
CVB was suggesting the unexposed Zaynar should miss the Champion Hurdle because of his age where lo and behold he had revealed a 'huge E/W bet on Hurricane Fly' on a different thread. Disingenuous poster as we all know Zaynar ran really well to be 3rd and on form would have won the previous years running on a line through Celestial Halo who had the 'under the weather ' Binocular behind that year. If you think it should worry me that people react like he does when proven wrong then know it doesnt it means I am getting things right and it really bugs them. |

Could you do me one favour kirk, never ever respond to my posts. Just plain don't read them. You're like a fungus that grows on trees. You're like weed that grows in grass, you're like....so on and so forth.
Basically stop fooking pissing your useless crap of an opinion all over every thread here. Bascically f**k off. Nobody give a flying F**K what you have to say. Ever. Period. So crawl back into your sewer, please. |
|
By:
Not sure what you are trying to say, however the truth can hurt re your Zaynar wafflings. Anyway I think it is way more likely you will respond to one of my posts than vice versa so lets ignore each others posts by not directly responding to our posts but we do to others on the same thread.

gents, there is a 'block user' button on the new beta forum - not sure what it does, but I suspect it is worth trying
 |
|
By:
He'd just get a new username Steeple, he's on three or Four now.
However he can be unearthed just by typing "Truckers Tavern or Sir Rembrant into a thread header" |
|
By:
YBM/Kirk/Eric, it's surprising you bring up Hurricane Fly given the awful tangle you got yourself in last season when you forgot that you'd said you'd backed him for the Champion Hurdle. I'll gladly reproduce what you said if it would help.
|

By:
Not a lot learned this weekend other than roll on next week and back to Cheltenham.
Better be on[>o] |
|
By:
we learned that snow is cold
|

By:
The all weather is cr-p, tho I known that for years

By:
augustine/alderbrook 1000-1/good old breasty etc ... my most devoted stalker saving my postings and only contributing to the forum if an opportunity at having a go comes along ... you must be one sad person.
I posted on here quite clearly I had backed Hurricane to lay off as I thought he would shorten at tracks away from Cheltenham but would not be suited to the hill being a Montjeu. My main hope in the race to win was Zaynar who came 3rd and would have won the previous years running on a line through Celestial Halo. |

By:
zilzal1 .. in the same way none stayer Our Vic, Turnip Green and Snoopy Loopy the greats that beat Kauto or in Turnip Greens case close 3rd do with you. Every horse has its day and ideal conditions against the best (except Our Vic I mean he didnt stay), I know that you obviously dont.
|
|
By:
What's a None stayer???? Your Ante Post Portfolio??
|
|
By:
Our Vic patently didnt stay in the RSA but he stayed well enough to beat Kauto off levels.
|
|
By:
Our Vics racing record is on a different planet to those two animals ive mentioned though....
|
|
By:
Turnip Green?
|
|
By:
His strike rate would be about the same as Truckers and SR combined after their respective Gold Cups
 |
|
By:
Anyone who cant see a horses ideal conditions shouldnt be betting antepost for their own good imo. If you take a race in isolation the relative merits of all horses can differ drastically to another trip/going/course. You really need to stop being ignorant of this fact. I laid off Kauto double with BBucks as I knew the conditions would not suit him at all on the track/trip/going he struggles most on. Think even if he'd stood up Turnip Green would have beaten him if in the race.
|
|
By:
LOL, The dummy has come out now
The Horses i mentioned ideal conditions were usually in a field of slow horses  |
|
By:
Strange reply Ithink you dont have an answer and wish to remain ignorant on that obvious fact repeated throughout the history of racing. No dummy here , think you are the one came on here with you dummy in if you read back
|
|
By:
The only bet you posted up earlier that season involved Walkon/Zaynar in a treble with the above two horses, still the forum has been used to excuses and aftertiming on your account.
I dont see a point in commenting on a horse that wasnt even in the race  New Credit card needed imo |
|
By:
Have you just come on this thread to have a private conversation with me or do you have anything to contribute. 2 stalkers netted though not a bad catch.
|
|
By:
Ah the fishing get out clause. Don't think anyone learned anything this weekend though
|
|
By:
Well it appears you just came on here for a private conversation ... cant see you've contributed to the discussion much here. I would suggest you block me the forum allows that ... however I know you wont as you know I get it right more often than others on here and cant help but take a peek.
|
|
By:
Mmmmm, i think its due to the Entertainment value Kirkybabes, everyone's a winner
|
|
By:
There are people who just like arguing and you fall into that category imo. I'm off more interesting things to do than that.

Only with people with a big Ego and who are unable to laugh at themselves on the odd occasion

22 Nov 10 08:49 Sageform: Woolcombe Folly impressed me most of any horses this weekend. And again today.
|
|
By:
Cue Card has the Supreme at his mercy
Time For Rupert is a smashing horse (always underrated him previously, not any more) |
|
By:
That Eric Morris is king of the cowards, aftertiming aplenty once again. No wonder he had to open a new account.
Sad thing is, he thinks people dont realise. |
|
By:
Agreed on both accounts FFT. Rupert has a great engine, just not as good as Big Bucks'
 |
|
By:
Woolcombe Folly, Master Minded and Big Zeb the only credible candidates for the QM at this stage.
Cue Card and Golden Chieftain seemed to me to blow up badly today. Colin Tizzard admitted that they missed a weeks work when his gallop was frozen. Can be very important at this level. Menorah impressed me as a CH horse for the first time today. Don't know why but I thought he only scrambled home from Bothy in the Greatwood but looked the business today. Poquelin seems to save his best for this day so be careful of backing him again this season. Time For Rupert looks the real deal. I want to se Wymott again though. |
|
By:
Sage, Nick williams said the same thing re Reve yesterday, that he'd not had a gallop for two weeks due to frozen wood chip gallops.
Menorah scrambling home could have something to do with the wight he was conceding, will be interesting to see how both Bothy & Manyriverstocross run in the Ladbroke next weekend. |
|
By:
sintonian you must have a major inferiority complex going on judging by your posts. I posted on the main forum I had Menorah in a treble to win over 3k today and only posted it as someone started the thread also having a treble for a similar amount going on Silviniaco Conti. Deal with it man I hope you also had a good day. My Festival combis are getting really exciting after todays results.
|
|
By:
Agree on Wymott he was entered today shame he didnt run. Mikael D'Haguenet also yet to come out very exciting times and what a taster today for the Festival.
|
|
By:
sorry eric, but you are chatting to fellow punters, and people who bet regualry. There is no need to aftertime, tbf.
|
|
By:
I rarely bet day of race especially on trials where I have an antepost interest but just couldnt resist the prices on offer today.
