Cheltenham Festival
There is currently 1 person viewing this thread.
Dear Race Fans
I attended a Cheltenham Festival Preview Night in Towcester last night.
Supreme Novices Hurdle
BG could well be riding Spirit Son. The rumour is the owner has told him he rides Spirit Son and then Finians Rainbow in the Arkle or neither.
David Nicholson Mares Only Hurdle
The rumour is all is not well with Quevega. Somebody stated that she had been messing about at home and refusing to go into her box aswell as not working as well as they would have liked in her last workout.

Thanks Mayweather. Someone posted that during the eve it was mentioned that it was likely that Tranquil sea would be announced as a N/R for the ryanair today...did you hear anything?
|

By:
Mayweather, I thought you had a contact in the yard that insisted Geraughty was on Sprinter Sacre?
|
|
By:
Paddy Brennan, Matt Chapman and Robert Cooper said they heard rumours that Tranquil Sea was out and that it was trading large on Betfair but I had odds checker up on my phone and I could not see the big drift?
I am not sure if its true or not? |

By:
Time For Rupert's owner was there and he was very confident that the horse will win. He thinks it's next year's Gold Cup horse.
|

Thanks Mayweather - re T Sea update. It's drifting on most books this morning. We'll wait and see I guess.
|

By:
Paddy Brennan said that Time For Rupert was his best bet of the festival while he believes Hurricane Fly is a big lay.
The whole pannel fancied Big Bucks to defend his crown and thought Grands Crus price was too short now although Kieran Packman has backed Grands Crus at 8/1 without Big Bucks and is sweating buckets everyday hoping it gets there in one piece. |

 are these the same clowns that said Quevega last year only had 2 legs |
|
By:
I hope so because I really would like her to win again.
Most of the Panel reckon Medermit's jumping is too slow for him to win the Arkle but he looked decent enough at Sandown. They also said he finds nothing off the bridle, he did in the Supreme Novices two years ago after running up Cousin Vinny's ass! Three more strides and he would have beat Go Native. |
|
By:
the man who stood up in the audience who said quevega was not herself, is a tool. a hanger on who is clueless and believes anything you tell him.
despite what a certain tool on here told us regarding imperial was out of the gold cup paddy said he looked extremely fit |
|
By:
You believe me sonny, Imperial Commander is not right, you can see it in Paddy Brennan's body language. You wait and see, I will be on here after the race proving it.
|
|
By:
You said the horse was out
|
|
By:
i asked paddy if he was as confident this year as he was last year and he said no. as quick and as blunt as that
but you came on here shouting off he was out disgraceful |
|
By:
He will be out, he will be out cold when Long Run and Denman fly pass him! On you go!
|
|
By:
Mayweather whether you are right or wrong about him not winning you should stop coming on here and telling lies. You're entitled to your opinion about the races but telling lies that other peoples horses are out of the festival is not right and is not on.
|
|
By:
lol shut up SatelliteFlight - I told you all Imperial Commander was out the King george and he was. I told you all he is out the Gold Cup and he will be, out cold when the big guns get revenge on him. Come on Kauto, Denman and Long Run, beat this overrated horse.
|

By:
good reply about what i would expect out of a 4 year old, keep telling lies ye little child
|
|
By:
I thought you said you were gonna play nicely now mayweather?
|
|
By:
I am, I'm not being nasty to anybody. I am just sticking to my guns regarding Imperial Commander. I am totally against this horse. I am laying him big time. I cannot have this horse. I do not like the trainer and I do not like the mouth the trainer gave to Paul Nicholls before the Betfair Chase stating that Paul Nicholls was chicken etc for not running Kauto in the race. I badly and I mean Badly want Imperial Commander beaten.

this thread starts off ok, the poster puts some useful statements out and seems normal enough. then he gets prodded and poked a bit, and then gets all bent out of shape. is this a forum passtime time to annoy this person or something?
|
|
By:
Paddy Brenan actually said "Imperial Commander is the one to beat 100%. He looks a million."..he also states that Long Run is a good horse but might not egt up the hill. Don't listen to Mayweather.
|
|
By:
In fact if you read the gg blog he says Imperial Commander could win if he was 90% fit. He also say KK will be ridden for a e/w shout. He doesn't say anything aboutr HF as the clown states .
|
|
By:
why is mayweather not banned for telling blatant lies and being a complete liar, fantasist and pain in the arris?

As much as I dont want to support anything Mayweather says.... Paddy Brennan did day that HF was his lay of the festival and he could not have at all for the CH Regarding IC, PB may not have been as confident ( he was very bullish last year) about IC but still thinks the horse will win, "one to beat " "looks a million now" " will be good enough to beat these" Would be interesting to know how the schooling session went this morning for IC? BT |

By:
Fair enough big trucker. The quotes i have from the preview night blog are as follows :-
"Last year might have been Khyber's nbig chance. Has e/w chance and will be dropped in and ridden to be placed. anything else be a bonus" "Menorah the one to beat. I think Peddlers Cross is a chaser in the making" |

By:

You are spot on, he did say all of that virtually word for word At the end the panel were asked for the bet / lay of the week PB bet was Time for Rupert and his lay was HF |
|
By:
paddy started off talking about ic and he wasnt at all confident ...as the conversation went on he said that ic is about 85-90pc the horse he was last year,but he,l still beat this lot.
he said ..if youd asked me 2week ago id not be happy bout his chance but hes improved in the last 2week. btw..the hanger on as he was described...gave kilty storm last season..and it ran a mighty race. |

By:
Paddy had to be confident last year because no-one would listen. This year the horse has favouritism, so why talk him up? You just have to hope he is anywhere near last year. Mayweather has been talking rubbish for ages. IC was not ruled out of the KG by connections until long after Mayweather decided he was, unless he is psychic this proves a point. There is no reason at all to dislike tho horse, even if you do dislike the trainer. The horse has done nothing wrong at all and fair and square won the GC last year, even if he does not win this year why should anyone take glee in that? He just needs to get a grip and think about where he is getting his information from, because it isnt the people in the know!!
