Why The Drift on GMOOH For The Arkle

jonjo said that he tryed him over fences and the horse never took to them so there be staying over hurdles.

hope this helps.

Can see him missing the festival all together then! Shame.

Is he running on Saturday ?

thoughts on the race he is in on sat ? rest look average bunch to mee.

On teletext this week,the vplan was to stick to hurdles this season

This horse has the profile of an Arkle winner imo and very surprised they have given up on jumping with him so early. He would have to be a bad jumper with little chance of progression to not give him a shot over fences with his raw potential, pace and athleticism. Especially with Binocular in the CHurdle and no stated target for him. Why dont they declare a Festival race for him it is obvious he will be very smart. As long as it doesnt add up expect a u-turn or a wasted opportunity. You will only know his target after the money goes down by the looks of it.

I thought he'd be going for the arkle after the supreme novices. Always jumped like a chaser to me.

No, unlike you with Celestial Halo.

So, how much have you got on GMOOH? It's OK you know, all is not lost yet!

You do have a very bad memory and avoidance strategy for threads you have made a tw@t of yourself on. I believe you also were likely to have rang up to get me a temporary ban even though I was proven correct ... n0b.

However, given that this is ante-post betting and the likelihood of a horse falling by the wayside is priced in, then I don't see how you can possibly suggest that backing a horse like CH, whose stated aim is the Arkle, is a bad investment. If it all goes to plan he'll go off under 3s.
Which were the highest rated hurdlers, aimed (with certainty of intention) at the Arkle, to have fallen by the wayside in recent years? Can't think of any off the top of my head, rather like you couldn't think of too many hurdlers rated under 140 to have won it.

Could be a JPMc 'arent I clever plot' going on or they could be telling the truth ...lmao.

LOL, why would I want to get you banned? You haven't done anything to offend me in the slightest, I even  enjoy your juvenile name-calling, in short you're comedy gold!! Besides, you would only rise Lazarusesque under another obvious nom de plume.
There is nothing in my comments about CH that I don't stand by, had he scooted in on his debut, he would've shortened in price, you will have noticed the comment, "If it all goes to plan"? I didn't get involved as his manner of hurdling made him far from likely to take to fences imv. Hardly an original view, but not too far wide of the mark on the available evidence. You didn't fancy him because he was too classy over hurdles and was a 'grinder', which are attributes that I maintain can be found in many recent winners of the race.
So, all told am struggling to see what you've been proven correct on, at this stage? If, after the Arkle has actually been run, your original assertions are proven correct, then you can crow from the rooftops, 'til then I'd keep my powder dry, unless identifying 10/1 shots 6 months ahead of a race as unlikely winners is the limit of your ambitions.

Mathematically 16 now is a bigger number than 10 then hence CH was not a good investment at 10/1. The only thing preventing him from going back hurdling is Ruby doesnt want any complications if he does well at further trips with a risk if Kauto doesnt win the KG of Big Bucks going over fences with an able replacement over hurdles. Think Ruby still fancies Kauto for a historic 3rd Gold Cup to join the legendary stayers and wont want anything getting in the way of that.

Howdi, it isnt unusual for people I have proven wrong to ring up at the slightest opportunity in the past ... I will let you decide who the children are. I havent done that in my years on here as unlike them I dont run to my mum if I get it wrong. Maybe numerous nom de plumes are a sign of success on here in that respect if you put your opinions forward on here, people dont like them, disagree,they get it wrong and end up stalking you looking to get you banned. Other than that I have never been a Neville Chamberlain clone when it comes to allowing Big Brother to support minority interests over the majority if they are wrong, that is never popular either.

Just looks like the World Hurdle to me noW

Did I kill this thread?
