Why has Nicholls entered Doeslessthanme in this race?

Nicholls has been shouting his mouth off about Sanctuaire in the run up probably hoping to scare the rest off. He knows a 2 horse race can lead to strange results and it is the best chance of a win for him. Also the fact he says Sanctuaire goes straight to the Queen Mum after means he is hoping to go to Cheltenham with the psychological edge after today if there is an unexpected result so Sanctuaire will be fit to run for his life today. You will see the best of Sanctuaire regardless of the shoyte Nichols comes out with afterwards.
Mind games and bshit from Nicholls as usual unfortunately for him I think Sprinter Sacre is the better horse and the most beautiful top class fencer since Best Mate. However this is really a 2 horse race and unexpected things can happen lets hope not and we see a great horse in the making. |

eric I think he is better than Best Mate

similar to Vitaly Klitschko v Graham Norton and just as enjoyable a spectacle.

Obviously over 2m he is better than Best Mate he also is better than two miler Moscow Flyer. Is he going to be better than Badsworth Boy?

Easy as expected

2013 Champion Chase will be the smallest, least competitive field in living memory. 2's on is a very big price for him to get there and hack round.

Nicholls said they weren't even close to good enough. Gonna aim at the Celebration Chase again. Sounds like they'll skip chelts.

French Opera went off at 162 last year didn't he?

My apologies I mis-interpreted your three words as that he'd win it
 Would imagine a place is booked in in the QM given that it's unlikely both FR and SE will turn up |

It was a semi-serious comment meant in a disparaging way.
Never mind! |

Like others have said I hope the blind will be laying Sprinter so I can get stuck in for the bet of the season. I will be surprised if he even comes off the bridle in the Tingle Creek. I would back Cue Card to beat Sanctuaire over 2 miles. Much better horse but keep believing the hype. This just reminds me of the people who took on Sea The Stars and Frankel every race. Shame the layers didn't put their money where their mouth was. I thought Sanctuaire was going to win by ten lengths? |

I hope Nicholls does put Sanctuaire in the Champion Chase, he gives Sprinter a lovely lead

What's the shortest SP returned at Cheltenham. Could be under threat.
|
|
By:
As long as Finians and/or Sizing turn up I doubt he'll be shorter than 1/4 ish
If neither show he could be absurdly short |
|
By:
what was master minded for his 2nd QM? 1/3?
|
|
By:
4/11

sanctuaire has blistering speed when needed
sprinter is a brilliant horse - more of a stayer. BJG never let sanctuaire get too far away at sandown and then sanctuaire folded and didnt run his race. if the ground came up proper good ground and sprinter sacre didnt make enough use of himself.... just think what sanctuaire could do in a short space of time to sprinter sacre... sprinter sacre is clearly of the highest class but he is not going to beat sanctuaire over a short distance. if the race pans out in sanctuaires favour he could do him up the run in. |
