tanya stephenson makes it her NAP of the Festival!

By:
Are you sure? Her charity bet was Fox Appeal with Lesley Graham going for Burton Port.
|
|
By:
was NAP of the festival not her charity bet for today, they gave a list of all of them at the end
|
|
By:
Fair enough. If the Stephenson wedge is down I'll give Nicky a ring and tell him to save Long Run for another day.
 |
|
By:
Sorry. I wasn't clearer. I taped the morning line and rather than the charity bet of the day I'm pretty sure that Burton Port was given as Lesley Graham's nap of the festival and not Tanya's.

EO.
Am i right in thinking you have this has a two horse race |
|
By:

|

Thought you on burton

Silly to totally rule out the best chaser on form this season imo
|
|
By:
yes it is a two horse race but I prefer BP at the prices
Last 12 yo winner of GC was in 1969, horse has had training set back and has to reverse C&D form with Long Run - don't see how he can win, nothing silly it's called an opinion |
|
By:
yes,and its my opinion that its silly,as hes the best chaser on form.
|

By:
He's beat LR twice,but over gold cup trip LR beats kauto
|
|
By:
yer probably right,but hes still got a chance.
anyway good luck chaps. |

On the basis of my honestly held view I think it is a one horse race and that horse is Long Run. There is a certain logic which I can see which would give 3 or 4 other horses a chance of beating him but that relies on his jumping as poorly as last year. One of those is Kauto and another is Burton. |
|
By:
Sorry. It sounds as if I am discounting the others. I'm not. I'm picturing each horse giving what I think it is capable of on the day and on that basis on the likely ground, course and pace of the race I think Long Run is the most likely winner. Racing is and will always remain an enigma for which is one of the reasaons why we all love it.

Have rewatched but seen them plenty anyway. The gold cup was fast but i wouldnt describe it as brutal. For his first KG - does Paddy Brennan looking through his legs coming round the last bend really look like hes trying to make it a test? Rewatching these isnt easing my lingering doubts about LR in testing races (but it wouldnt be the first time my race reading has cost me money!) |

I'm taking nothing for granted. They make fools of us all.
