I was thinking the same but couldn't think of a better way of putting it as that though  |

No wonder the trainer looked flabbergasted it got beat

 Wasn't there one athlete in the 1988 100m final who never tested positive.It could be a very appropriate analogy. |

Zamdy Man beating Un Temps Pour Tout at Haydock could be right up there come the end of Cheltenham, any one agree?? I agree completely, but your talking about a novice hurdler that isn't trained by Mullins, as such you'll get no one agreeing. |

Ballycasey last time out for me. Beating 2 horses who had previously won a Grade 1 in another Grade 1 on only his second run of the season. Still looks big at 5/1 to me.

Go on then one more.
Fox Norton failing by a Neck to give Royal Irish Hussar 8lbs and made a hash of the last. RIH went on to win his next 2 races one Listed & one a Grade 2 where he had Guitar Pete just under 4 lengths behind off level weights (Won a Grade 2 & Grade 1 since). RIH was 3rd to Fox Norton when they met again beaten 16 lengths with Broughton beaten a head in 2nd in receipt of 7lbs. Broughton won nto by 5 lengths from Clarcam getting 5lbs, Clarcam was 7 lengths behind Guitar Pete off levels. Only danger to Fox Norton is his stablemate Le Rocher imo but Abbyssial also comes into the mix on his French form. |

Funnily enough I've just finished the book The Dirtiest Race In History about that final. Only Calvin Smith who was promoted to third and the Brazilian Da Silva (I think) who finished sixth never tested positive. When interviewed for the book Smith was very scathing about that whole time in sprinting and justifiably in my view feels that he was robbed of being recognised for the great sprinter that he was. |

I thought it was Raymond Stewart !

Even though he was second thought it was a good performance by Dodging Bullets in the game spirit on ground that wouldn't suit.

Royal Boy beating Josses Hill could be this years TNO/AFC.
It is linked form anyway. |

Forgive me for being a muppet here but are we not talking about races where the form has actually been franked? Nothing from the Last Instalment race has run since. If we are going strictly on the form book then other races looks more favourable in terms of this exercise. SPOT ON |

Agree re Zamdy Man and have backed this at 33/1. But, despite contraction in price elsewhere, have noticed his name removed from a number of lists, including on Betfair. Anyone know why this might be?

By:
Zamdy Man removed from the Supreme betting with a few firms.

took out at recent confirmation stage.
