do you want to see it run on 16 march  , knowing  its a problem  ,to  get him there .

P.N   in a real catch situation  , if he takes the horse runs , badly or  anything , goes badly  wrong  ...,... god forbid   ,   the horse is such a star ,  to  be appearing    at his  age  ?     

we all know , they  love  the  races days  away , over their  lifespan  .

media  know too much  on an ongoing  daily basis , after disclosure of the  FALL  .time to  reflect if  kept in house  untill  declaration stage  , on the basis  no  news is good  news  ............right or  wrong to  let us know  , any other horse  would be left untill that stage  .

the worry  is do gooders get hold  of  anything negative  how  the sport is  run  ...will have a field  DAY if  it  gets to  chelts  and  it  goes wrong  .....I  WOULD NOT RISK THE HORSE NOW  AFTER SUCH A GLORIOUS  CAREER  .

HORSES FALL ON A DAILLY BASIS,  WE DON'T KNOW  ABOUT  .?  BETTING BLIND DAY AFTER DAY  NO  EXPLANATION ON WITHDRAWN HORSES  ?can win  ..not win    ...no better than  50/50 ?

agree lot of funds at  stake  ,pay your money take your chances ?  the sport has had a bad year with , whips etc  ,and  this is another week's , highlighting again  , hopefully  get by  with minimum fuss ,,and  horses safety at a premium  , cut back all betting  that  year  due to  position on  jockeys ? 

Game suffers badly  when things go wrong ,and somethings  best kept to  ones self ,, P.N.  CAN;T WIN ..

Reading  form notes many  seem of the opinion  hose ought to be retired  now . Interesting  wont  bet him ,as not to  jinx the poor lad  ,what age is he in horsey ...years ?

The worst thing about it being these two is that they have blogs on here.
They should take Kauto out of the GC cause if anything goes wrong during the race Nicholls will be vilified. He has put himself in a very difficult position.

Horses fall all the time schooling, why should kauto be taken out of the gold cup if he's over the fall in nicholls opinion?

decent  guy would  cringe  somewhat , if  gave out  that  type of messages on a  blog site .

Will be on the payroll at  betfair  ,  unfair  bet  when 3 plus  options ?  .   Today  at least  5 races saw  changes to  horses prices  ,, shorten  by  over  double figures  ..?

correct  it's all about opinions  .......as a  blog  participant  for  betfair   ,racings  best loved horse  falls  and  feels  it;s O K .  not to  let  betfairians know  ..? find it a little strange  .....again  my opinion   .............I wish the horse well ,,not the trainer  ,and  hope  horse returns  from chelts  in good order ..................for  racings  sake  ,   not  P.N.    .........

If it was not that bad then why mention it at all. How can he be 50/50 then 2 weeks later face the stiffest task of his career and be in peak form? I would love to see the Kauto Star that has won this season turn up, but when handling this sort of horse there comes an added pressure. Will the the chance to win a 3rd GC turn their hand when it should not?

I feel the game  doesn't need controversy  at this time , with a huge audience  watching ,last thing we need is  fatalities , and  doo gooders on the  scene again  ...?  P.N.  HAS THE BURDEN ON HIS  SHOULDERS  ..if  it goes wrong  in a race  of this  proportion  a gold cup  at  12 years old  ,,wish all connections well , and a safe return for  KAUTO STAR  ..?
