They've been struck down with a nasty bout of mullinitis.

My understanding has been that Giggi's buying policy is mainly to buy GC types and if that is correct its a no-brainer. He should be 2nd favourite anyway.

WM has about 20 horses good enough to run in the supreme and is quite different from an owner with a horse with an outstanding chance in the blue riband itself.

Looks to me that the last couple of Gold Cup winners may have been a tad fortunate this one was injured.
Hes now beaten FL a lot further than Bobsworth has. Not to mention Syncronised!! |

BHA to visit Fentons yard and conduct tests on chelt entries.

The priick shouldnt be allowed to run horses until this is sorted.

Seems to me that this is more like a PR exercise than any meaningful investigation. Any substances would not show in blood or urine tests unless administered very recently. Hair tests will hold traces longer, but again, depends when last administered. Stable lads out with the clippers as we speak

Ha, have pretty much admitted it in their statement. It is to 'uphold public confidence'.

From Racing Post website:
However, the regulatory body at the same time stressed that should the results come back clear, it would not necessarily mean Fenton's Cheltenham raiding party led by Gold Cup third favourite Last Instalment would be allowed to run at Prestbury Park in a fortnight's time. WTF! I smell a witch hunt |

I can see O'Leary taking legal action if the BHA try to prevent Last Instalment running.
This story could run and run, needs sorting before Festival starts, don't want it casting a shadow over the first three days. |

I cant see him running but owners should do the decent thing now.

It will be ironic if the horse with the dodgy legs is fit to run but isn't allowed to.

The weather could yet come to the BHAs rescue and save them from a potential PR disaster should LI run and win by scuppering the chances of LI lining up. I believe they have said he would only run on soft, given his leg problems. Probably all praying to whatever god they believe in for a dry run up to next Friday.

Have to declare an interest here. I've backed Last Instalment @ 50/1 so I am absolutely delighted that I'm still in with a shout of getting a run for my money even though I am nrnb.
Some of the sanctimonious comments on here have been a source of great amusement notably from those who seem to be the self-appointed custodians of the "moral high ground". Stuff you and I'll be rooting for Dunguib as well. |
