Fav tomorrow over 2m 5 at Wincanton after hacking up over same distance last time. Anyone know if this one is likely to be good enough for the festival. Can't see too many quotes from Nicholls plus you have the new race to contend with but at 80 now for the RSA it might be value albeit for pocket money.

with this new race i cant even look at the markets until intentions have been made. Although at those prices and small stakes you cant go wrong!?

^^^ unless he ends up in the new race

Well we'll know know tommorrow but any decent sort of win and I'd be interested at those odds...worth having a nibble in what looks wide a open RSA at this time of the year. Nicholls obviously no slouch with chasers and has won it with Denman. This one could be anything after hacking up FTO

Looked like a machine at Bangor but was really impressed by Wayward Prince at Huntingdon and some big guns to come out shortly.

I'd think you'd have to say it's an early season contender after today. OK it fell but it jumped really well until then and IMO was going better than the winner when it came down. The winner was given a 25/1 quote for the RSA so I reckon the same about Robinson Collonges would be fair.
|
|
By:
Took a good hold all the way. I'd have grave doubts about him staying 3m. I do think he's potentially top class though.
|
|
By:
looked really good the whole way around. can't believe he fell. his front feet just seemed to slip and knuckle down. absolutely did my bollocks on him today! ah well i will have to get it back next time. although i cant see him being any price!
|
|
By:
i have to add he was cruising when he fell and i think he would have gone on a bit from wishful thinking?
|
|
By:
Like this fella, and also think he would have gone on to win today.
|
|
By:
got to say i disagree i think hede get every yard of 3 mile no problem . will be better on soft and better on a left handed track . welsh national next year maybe
|
|
By:
Would have won by at least 10 lengths. Seriously good horse.
|
|
By:
both seriously nice horses.remember that was effectively the winners seasonal debut and will come on for the run
|
|
By:
how do you know he would have won by 10 lengths?
|
|
By:
Why will he be better on soft when he's put up much improved performances on his 2 runs here on good ground ?
As for the Welsh National.......  |
|
By:
|
|
By:
I'm more concerned he goes on good ground which he does, with the RSA in mind
|
|
By:
i think hell be better on soft simple as that its an opinion
|
|
By:
nicholls has classier top notch novices than this one and this 1 will be 1 for the big long distance handicaps next year
|
|
By:
who iyo are nicholls best novice chasers this year?
|
|
By:
sang bleu but hell not be given a hard time. royal charm definitely
|
|
By:
robinson definitely needs a left handed track though was hanging teribly to the left and seemed unconfortable
|
|
By:
"Hanging terribly to the left"
????????????????/ I don't know which horse you were watching mate but it wasn't Robinson Collonges.The only times he went left were when Wishfull Thinking took him left. In my experience long distance chasers don't travel like this horse does. |
|
By:
early doors was hanging badly and was feeling the ground. better horse ons oft
|
|
By:
He was NOT "hanging badly". He was pulling hard. It's not the same thing. The ground was on the fast side. He floated over it.
Learn the game. |
|
By:
dont be a dikk bolt no need 4 it. he looked like he was hanging to me. jut my opinion
|
|
By:
Your "opinion" is wrong.
I'm trying to educate you.  Obviously wasting my time. |
|
By:
Flyingbolt, when you berate and badger people you're behaving like an offensive OIK...
There is NO need for you or anyone to show an utter lack of class by constantly barracking people with abuse... it is a forum where everyone is entitled to an opinion and verbal bullies are just big mouthed idiots - the empty bottles rattle loudest... Give the people a break... and if you cannot, why not take it down the local nuthouse where they won't mind |
|
By:
Cheltenham 2011 is a serious forum,Somerset Moron.
It's for people who have some idea about the game. Go back to Horse Racing with your clueless mates. |
|
By:
Bolt,you are out of order my friend.Its a forum for all,and cos someone says something that you regard as wrong,by all means disagree if you like,but done belittle,just makes you out to be a rather nasty person.
|
|
By:
I love this forum as opposed to the horse racing one mainly due to the lack of idiots and the great info that can be gleaned from the knowledgeable posters in here.
Cant remember nasty comments like Bolts over the last couple of years. Grow up mate. |
|
By:
 Topshot Apart from my response to Somerset Moron's terribly upsetting post which of my comments did you find "nasty" ? Budd Dananders and I are old adversaries. Don't take it to heart.  |
|
By:
Topshot,Not a case of growing up,except maybe for those who think its grown up to belittle people on a public forum.
Bolt,i was unaware of your previous with Dananders. |
|
By:
Sorry topshot,got me wires crossed!!
Blame it on the sh!t day at work i am having!! |
|
By:
yes we r bolt is right hes still a tool though
oj . its probs the track at wincanton its a horrible wierd track but tro me robinson didnt seem all that comfortable on it imo |
|
By:
Seemed extremely happy on it when he cruised into the lead in the home straight imo
|
|
By:
well i suppose but the winner has an engine and would have been tough to beat
|
|
By:
runs tomoro
|
|
By:
u watch him jump left
|
|
By:
He didn't jump left at any of those fences Dan.
It was a no contest and nothing but a confidence booster for him today. |
