capt chris ?

I agree but think owners are adamant they don't want to go Arkle route.

Just hope they therefore don't send Wishfull Thinking the RSA route - that horse in Jewson is trainer and owner's best hope for meeting (followed very close behind by Menorah)

Eric,

Agree with your thoughts completely - however I suspect both will run in Jewson. If they do I would favour WT as you would by the sounds of it

this is what baffles me, capt chris and wishful thinking same owners by running them in the the 2 different races they have 2 VERY GOOD chances plus johnson can ride both plus johnson has said capt chris in the arkle is what he wants.cant see the logic?

YBM talking through his pocket again.

You must be joking Banksy, there is no way that Eric would talk through his pocket after the vitriol he poured on all those 'pocket-talkers' over the Starluck/Arkle and IC/King George participations. It's the one thing he hates above anything, he wouldn't have the gall..... would he?

Eric, the deluded fantasist, is still intent on embarrassing himself by maintaining that I said something that I didn't. In fact it was the opposite. Once again, I urge you to TTT the thread. I C&P'd excerpts a few days ago and you, predictably, disappeared up your own fundament. It's almost as if you expect everyone else to, like you, have the attention span of a goldfish and that you can just peddle the same nonsense a couple of days later, now hiding behind the dubious and cowardly claim that you can't read me as you have me blocked.
You're truly a remarkable human being, why you bother posting is beyond me, as you have totally discredited yourself with lies and preposterous aftertimed claims more times than I care to remember. To the point that even you must surely realise that nobody takes anything you say remotely seriously?

If i am an owner i want the BEST chance of winning a Graded Cheltenham race. By running the 2 horses in the one race you have DOUBLED your chance of winning. I like those odds better. :)

If someone gave you the following two choices of trying to win a Cheltenham Graded race which one would you pick
1) running 1 horse in each of two races with a 10% and 20% chance of winning or
2) running 2 horses in one race with a 33% chance of winning

Of course RJ would love to to see CC run in the Arkle as then he wouldn't be forced to pick the right one in the Jewson. GL

Eric Captain Chris is going to the jewson and always has been

Mate, they decided a couple of weeks ago

Quite the opposite, look at his form last season he travels much better on faster ground giving him more improvement than the others in the Arkle. Hobbs always said he will improve for better ground and that is what he will be getting next week. He will travel on it, will Ghizao also we wont know until the day.

CC is not speedy enough for the Arkle unless of course it's very soft (no chance). To say he has an equal chance in both is silly. He will be 4/1 or less for the Jewson and 7/1 or greater for the Arkle. Connections will be smart and will go home with a Grade 1 (Menorah) & Grade 2 in the bag. IMO.

Its the Jewson all the way..back him in that

Right decision

Just as well they didnt take the clueless maelduin and bring on chelts !! advice. Predicted this one spot on over the months really chuffed excellent horse, ground makes all the difference with him. Medermit should have been in the Jewson as Isaid yonks ago.

Rondetto I know I was being attacked on here for stating Captain Chris had to go Arkle the last few months because others on different horses in the race were also cr@pping themselves he would be switched. Normal human behaviour ... on here.
