He goes well fresh and likes this place,if he is indeed a 178 horse, he's well in isn't he and should be winning.
|
|
By:
well if one of the others is a 170 horse running off 152 he's got no chance
|

Is it still £5 minimum bet on here to be able to watch a live race?
|
|
By:
yes Sue

Thanks, Rick.

I like Cue but this beginning to look like of the month for me at them odds
|
|
By:
^^^ look like the lay of the month.
|
|
By:
yes very skinny
|

Couldn't bring myself to back 5-4 when its out of his hands if something is hiding on a mark
|
|
By:
could easily be the case, Module only had 4 starts could have any amount of improvement to come off 152
|
|
By:
for example

I'm starting to feel nervous.
I'm going to find something to do as a distraction until 2.50. |
|
By:
Am I the only one sitting here feeling stressed?
Thinking I needn't have splashed out on a bet as I'm not sure I want to watch it live  Come back safe and sound Cue Card, and all the others of course. I've had my bet on Module e/w. |
|
By:
I think he will hammer them.
|
|
By:
I've not had a big bet but put Cue Card in a Yankee. Others MIGHT be good enough, but we know CC is a top notcher. I'd be most worried about Somersby if he were anywhere near to top form. Good to see the top horses win or lose. Would have been interesting to see Sprinter trying to give CC 16lbs here. Not sure who I'de of backed?
|
|
By:
Aww, just had my first sight of him
 |
|
By:
Somersby, too
|
|
By:
Module is looking very perky
 |
|
By:
Feeling soooo nervous. Come on Cue Card!
|
|
By:
Not surprised he failed to give all that weight away to the front 2, but was surprised by his jumping at times, not as good as normal I thought. Was also a tad surprised he ran in the race to be honest, looked to be up against it at the weights, and the distance far short of what they hope him to be running at this season, although I guess if they just wanted to get a run into him before the Betfair then at least that was achieved.
Hope he makes the Betfair chase, looking at the entries we will know a lot more after that race!! |

I've been working on the ratings for the race and have got to something I am fairly happy with:
Somersby 162 Module 159 Cue Card 173 Kumbeshwar 152 Williams Wishes 147 It's only a first stab at it mind |
|
By:
I think marking Cue Card as having run to within 5lb of his best ever RP rating overestimates what he achieved. To me, a pipe opener for him, where he lost quite a bit of ground through poor jumping. Downgrade your ratings I would say. Not sure a pushed along Kumbeshwar really merits 152 either.

seeing Somersby has peak RPR of 169 and has plenty of runs at 165 and was reported as looking fit and well pre race + the jockey said he performed well I think 162 is more than fair for him
when you consider Module has been 2 horses, including the previously unbeaten over fences WW, 7 and 10 lengths at levels that were rated 148 and 152 I don't think 159 flatters him at all considering that was only his 5th run over fences. I will confidently predict he will make a 165 horse this season at 20 furlongs There is every chance 173 underestimates Cue Cards performance especially at a trip short of his best and he slithered at the 4th fence and was reported as having lost his confidence by the jockey. Don't forget he was giving 20 pounds to Module and that could look an impossible task by the end of this season the ratings are only a first stab and I will be revising them as more data becomes available but I will not be rating it lower than 172 because Somersby was 161 in the Ascot Chase and that is the minimum rating I am prepared to give him. |

*been = beaten

By:
Not the most accurate way of rating horses on their 1st race of the season-fitness etc,and not sure Somersby is as good as he was at Ascot.Time will tell as always.
|
|
By:
Just read that Cue Card was absolutely fine this morning. That's good to know
|
|
By:
RPR gave Cue Card 172 for Tuesday and 158 for Module

BLUBBING MY EYES OUT
 172 YOU ARE HAVING A LAUGH!!!! |

By:
Have to give you credit there judo....well played with him.
|
|
By:
stick sacre in gold cup and take legendary status
|
|
By:
I agree Sprinter would win the Gold Cup and if I owned him I would instruct the trainer to prepare him for that
|
|
By:
That really was a wow performance. If he stays sound I think he wins the Gold Cup, I know the extra furlong and the hill are a further test but he didn't seem to be stopping
|
|
By:
Sprinter Sacre in the Gold Cup?....... would he then go on to the Grand National straight from there or wait for next season
 |
|
By:
If my assessment is accurate (i.e should already be rated 177+) and he makes the 5 to 8lbs of improvement I think he is capable of achieving, then the sky is the limit. I'm on 25s and 33s nrfb for the Gold Cup and if he gets out in front, on good ground, that could look a massive price. What price would he be in Tizzard announced it was his definite intention to run in the Gold Cup?
best priced 10/1 |
|
By:
Did you back it Judo? Didn't see you tip it up so assumed you didn't fancy it?
|
|
By:
see the Ante Post thread but I've only been on about it for weeks, wrote a piece on here saying he's under rated
what more do you want? |
|
By:
Boy, it would be tough to win a Gold Cup from the front like he did today... I think the one to take from the race was Dynaste but there is a heck of a long way to go yet.
If you got on at 25s+ on Cue Card bravo to you, esp NRFB. I got 36's Dynaste and 83's Harry Topper |
|
By:
Wasnt having a go judo, I very much respect your opinions and enjoy your posts. Just wondered if you'd backed it. I don't venture onto the Ante-post forum very often. Fair play to you if you did, I know you're a big fan of the horse.
|
|
By:
I think this is a good as Cue Card has been. Kept on thinking he would stop!
The record might have stuck but the horses that finished in the frame in the 2011 Supreme and 2012 Arkle appear to be exceptional. |

watch the replay and see how many times JT hits with the whip
