Even more reason for running him in the RSA imo makes the decision even worse. Excuses all the time now. Look at history it doesnt lie.

Denman was found to have a heart problem after his monsterous Gold Cup performance.
Despite a very good career following that run, he was never the same horse again. A poor example. The fact is, after winning the unique challenge that is a Gold Cup, particularly in the style that Coneygree or Denman did it - seeing off all comers from the front and just crushing the field - takes a huge and often unrepeatable effort. |

The horse is finished and should be retired.
Had he ran in an RSA Chase he may have won but then he may not have even won that as the rain arrived on Gold Cup day which was a massive help for him. He then missed next years festival after hacking up impressively at Sandown, granted it was hardly a Gold Cup class race the previous seasons Gold Cup didn't seem to have left it's mark too badly. Your argument is utter bullshat, after all these years you'd think you would have stopped spouting bullshat, I guess not. |

No doubt in my mind the same thing would have happened had he ran in the RSA instead of the Gold Cup.
Horse was prone to injuries before that season and since that season. That was probably his best season fitness wise.and they took full advantage of that, fair play to them. They have a Gold Cup winner instead of an RSA winner. |
