Budde, thing is anytime someone expresss doubts about AF you comeback with a defense and the whole thing just becomes repeatative.

Perhaps you could do with some education yourself Denman. Have you seen the record of the favourites in this race the last 10 years? The majority of them had stamina in abundance and did not win the race. |

In fact time has proven the Arkle trip to be on the sharp side for all of them barring Cee Bee. Plenty of stamina amongst that lot. No winners. Each Arkle is different. Sticking rigidly to the stamina argument is NOT being objective. |

Perhaps people should stop repeatedly knocking the horse then,and some are totally dismissing him .
Not once have i knocked PC,SS OR CC,and i certainly would not dismiss any of them. This is an Al Ferof thread,and therefore if i feel i want to say something re the horse,i will,especially if i think it relevant to the current topic being discussed. In this instance it was reacting to Tom Segals comments. Of course things get repeated,that will happen,just like the comment that AF aint quick enough,that may or may not be true come the day,but its been said countless times on here,and more than once by the same people. I will take your point though,im not here to ruin a thread. |

I was in the Peddlers camp until it was announced yesterday that he will most likely head straight to Chelt and I just cant back him without another run or graded race win for the season.
Sprinter Sacre could well be the best thing since sliced bread but i went in on Al Ferof yesterday(only small at this stage) as he hits all of the stats. Big thing for me is that he has better course form compared to Sprinter. He may well get done for toe, and Peddlers who also has good course form could turn up on the day in tip top shape, but I feel that Al Ferof is an each way banker and at 7.4 as a starting point for backing in the race, i thought it represented very good value. Beauty of betfair is that if you change your mind, and the odds arent too different, you can reverse your decision. |

Very disappointing that he doesn't seem able to learn to jump. What now? Another couple of races before Cheltenham? Possibility he may skip the race entirely?

personally I think Aintree would suit him so I would be looking through the program book to get 2 or 3 runs in before Aintree and forget the Festival now
