Nightmare stuff for Nick Williams.
|
|
By:
Thats the problem with sacrificing most of the season for one race. Unlucky but stupid.
|
|
By:
I think Nick Williams might even agree with you MM.
|
|
By:
i dont see how he went lame from a lack of racing
|
|
By:
That is not what I'm saying Reve.. you have misunderstood.
|
|
By:
Does this ruin accumulators as well as singles with Harry involved ?
|
|
By:
true enough my bad. oh well, theres always aintree
|
|
By:
^^If you backed with Laddies you are probably ok as they have been NRNB for ages on GC.
|
|
By:
Otherwise probably
|
|
By:
People have probably have done both Stake and Chips.......
|
|
By:
Thanks anyway. It wasn't with them unfortunately. Fair few quid up in the air.
|
|
By:
Gutted, in my annual festival accumulator!
Also gutted for connections, a fantastic training performance to win the Hennessy the way he did but I echo Masterminded's sentiments that this is the risk if you put a horse away for the season. Nick Williams even said recently that he should have run him whilst he was in form back in December and that he wasn't sparkling at present. |

marv, lesson learnt for next year and his next gold cup horse
 tis a shame but thats horseracing. totesport bowl looks the next port of call id say, that or the punchestown gold cup |
|
By:
maybe not then, out for 3 to 4 months
|
|
By:
Could still win the Hennessy off his mark. Only 1833 to beat from what I've seen this year.
|
|
By:
Back for another go at the Hennessey seems most sensible - still well enough handicapped (especially if he really would have gone close in the Gold Cup), and he loves the track.
|
|
By:
not a bad idea, saying that its not easy. impossible to predict where to go. i thought this year hed go to the betfair chase
|
|
By:
Have to say I think it's a real shame that a smallish set up like Nick Williams has not been able to run his star in the Gold Cup. I think he has been pretty unlucky in it all.
|
|
By:
thats racing i suppose. they lost the very promising me voici not too long ago either. oh well, i anticipate many gold cup runners from him to come
|
|
By:
I would think the betfair chase would be the race for him too and given his preferance for soft ground, perhaps the Irish races would be worth going for.
The stable have still got a few other hopes so fingers crossed they get some small consolation from Maljimar, ForNonStop, Gauvain or even Reve himself! |
|
By:
id be a little sceptical about reve myself but noel fehily who is daryl jacobs best friend tipped him recently as his best bet of the festival! hopefully alfie spinner will go well too
|
|
By:
i hope you have done your bollocks in Reve, haaaaaaa, Harry was in no way good enough..thats why the horse is not taking part!
if he was then williams would have made sure he was there...you are just making excuses now because youve been ramping this horse for the last 2 months. you probably hadnt even had a penny on it anyway! |
|
By:
and all because in my opinion tiday bay is ungenuine. enough said, im not going to go there
|
|
By:
nothing to do with tidal, i told you but you didnt listen, Diamond Harry is not good enough for a Gold Cup..IT HASNT GOT THE CLASS!
MORE FOOL MUGS WHO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT RATING A HORSE! |
|
By:
a class horse! youre joking. class horses doesnt need his ears rubbed to pick up the bit
 10 out of ten for effort though |
|
By:
i never thought he would win either,but really is their any need for these sort of comments??
|
|
By:
nobody can say for definate whether he would or wouldnt until he actually races, and the same goes for tidal bay. its only my opinion that tiday bay is ungenuine, its perfectly reasonable of you not to take any notice of my comments
|
|
By:
The most ridiculous comments I've heard for a while. Any horse that travels to the last in the Hennessy on the bridle doesn't have class issues no matter what weight he was carrying. The horse was awesome that day and we'll not know for another 12 months whether he's good enough but I think he is.
|
|
By:
No need for comments like that mate, its not as if we personally own the animals. Its getting to a new level of anger on here with each passing year
|
|
By:
It's irrelevant whether DH would have or wouldn't have been good enough.
If you have backed the horse anti-post for the gold cup then you have my sympathies, personally there is nothing worse than having an anti-post punt on a horse and not even get a run for your money. No actually there is something worse and thats some turd bucket rubbing it in. |
|
By:
To think there are grown adults in this world who burn lean brain tissue, posting malicious cr@p revelling in the fact that a horse is ruled out of the best race of the year.
Sometimes we really do blow it spectacularly as a species. |
|
By:
Sad news but probably not a disaster for connections. He simply isn't a Cheltenham horse.
|
|
By:
connections think hed handle it and that hes more of a cheltenham horse than a 5 race per season horse. hes handled cheltenham before, just not when hes had too many runs before in that season
|
|
By:
If I recall correctly...'cos I was there at the time....he struggled to beat Bensalem at level weights in a novice hurdle, came a respectable 3rd in the 2/5 novice hurdle at the Festival and jumped like a dog in the RSA last year.
|
|
By:
i dont understand what the above post is meant to mean but i think connections are much more in a position to decide whether he will or not because they know much more about the horse and his characteristics than anyone else. if the trainer thinks hes going to handle cheltenham than i dont question it
|
|
By:
booster you twot, i said it doesnt have the class to win the chel gold cup.
and to the posters who think im revelling in a horse that couldnt ever possibly win a gold cup having a day out at cheltenham are mistaken. I'm simply and have had messages with reve in the last week fortnight telling him that Harry couldnt ever win a GC to which he strongly disagreed, sorry if you think im being a **** but im simply warning people not to listen to this twot reve as he doesnt have a clue about ratings or the race in hand. eh Reve....come onnnnnnn Tidal Bay was 18s on betfair 15mins ago,Victor Chandler go 16s, small pennies available now at 21/1 now on betfair, not bad for an ungenuine horse eh [;)] |
