Is that official or juts a guess based on the market?
I advised CF at 14/1 earlier today so that probably explains the market move.  |
|
By:
Official.
|
|
By:
If so that is more excellent news - been a great day for my antepost book so far today.

He just needs to improve on his hurdles runs by about a stone and a half and he might win.
|

horses for courses mr e

By:
Doesnt look a hurdler to me boss.
|
|
By:
this is excellent news
|
|
By:
Total tosh not confirmed at all.
|
|
By:
I'd be suprised if this was the case. Jezki holds CF on all known form.
|
|
By:
errr - including the piece of form they have at the track Graeme...?
|
|
By:
Fair enough. I prefer Jezki over CF on this seasons form as he looks a different animal this year.
|
|
By:
jezki is getting to a very likeable price - 7.4 on here now - 4.5 with ladsthatarecrookes
|

By:
Ming, i don't have much of an opinion on his price. I simply don't know how he's been training, or how his lay off will effect him. This season has been quite big for horses having long lay offs. I think Rolling Stars connections pretty much summed up the cowardice by saying they didn't want to run him in order to keep the dream alive for as long as possible. We will see what happens, but Jezki shouldn't have been layed off. I will need to watch his races again, as people are saying he's a poor jumper, and i was thinking he a brilliant jumper. He didn't take the last hurdle in his last race, which i think was down to the jockey as much as anything. He didn't look like safe hands.

By:
He'll go from the front just like in the bumper last year - catch me and pass me if you can.
 |
|
By:
Fair enough puncle. My perceived thought that Jezki is better over 2m hasn't really taken into consideration the lay off. I always prefer them to getn a run in.
|
|
By:
I'm happy to take Jezki's form over hurdles rather than the bumper.
|
|
By:
not being decided till monday more chance of him riding mozoltof than fever but we all now he be riding bullets
 |
|
By:
Champagne Fever goes for the AB.
|
|
By:
jezki didn't run by choice, that was stated when the cash passed hands. A the time of purchase JP owned both Darlan rip and MTOY and still paid a whopping 500,000, surely he didn't need to unless he's a special one.
|
|
By:
Jezki bought with chasing in mind. Has no chance in the Supreme. Lay of the week.
|
|
By:
Strong statement, not many horses with TWO grade 1s this season running at Cheltenham this year, but heay this one happens to be the lay of the week, well thought out.
|
|
By:
I'm not asking you to agree with me, I'm giving my opinion.
|
|
By:
Sorry it's a brent thing.
|
|
By:
Interesting I would have thought that Jezki was bought as the long term hurdler as they saw MTOY as a chaser of the future at that stage
|
|
By:
totally agree roo
|
|
By:
there prob both end up as handicapers like most of jps
 |
|
By:
Jessie H was very sweet on Jezki earlier in the season.
|
|
By:
she was sweet on oscars wells an steps to freedom!
|
|
By:
over past season was meant to say
|
|
By:
i was about to mention steps to freedom.
|
|
By:
she doesn't compare jezki to any of her other horses, she thinks he's the best. Not like her but imo all trainers get caught up in the present. Moscow flyer will always be the best she trained.
|
|
By:
I have backed Jezki but did think CF was overpriced last week but the reason for that price was probably the fact bookies trying to tempt more ante post gamblers .Hope the ground softening will help Jezki against CF and the fact he stayed on better than CF up the hill in there last Irish meeting that Jezki won.Only reall bet in the race as will be there for the roar this year.
|
|
By:
CF is hugely favoured by soft conditions (I've never seen worse ground than when he won at Punchestown).
Jezki out sprinted him in a typically slowly run Irish race and Jessie has been saying all along that Jezki will be better on good ground. CF may just set the race up for strong traveling types like MOTD or Melodic Renezvous but if the jockey sets the right fractions up front he equally may be very hard to pass like in last years bumper. |
|
By:
I backed CF at 12s b4 he ever ran to win last years bumper, was delighted even though he returned 16s. This year he looks slow as a boat, to me he looks like he was initially schooled over fences, which was the plan and it slowed him down. Horses of same ownership dictated CF plan, but at this stage I think he needs every yard of the 3 mile AB. Not even sure he'll dictate pace this year.
|
|
By:
he has always been one paced.
|
|
By:
Like I say no heavy involvement for me had a few quid saver on melodic at 16.4 ,its just about being there for me .
|
|
By:
fair plat to u meade theres gonna be some dodgy results with this ground an big chance of false run races due to small fields in champ races
|
|
By:
What a load of rubbish, if Ruby saddles that donkey Ill bare my ass..... Nayyyyyy! Bring back Lough Derg, he would win the World Hurdle!!
|
|
By:
It's a brent thing... Have to disagree re Jezki, looks more a hurdler than a chaser to me.
