Think it fair to say the owners missed out last year with UDS skipping Cheltenham,so entirely feasible that Mullins owes them imo.

Vautour looked fine to me when beating the likes of Apache stronghold and Lieut colonel over 2and a half m last year. They know he will stay. He's by Robin Des Champs, they know he'll stay and they know he'll battle like a demon. I love that train in the Robin Des Champs, the all battle. Also you know for sure that Mullins has learn't his lesson with Champagne Fever, teaching him all his life to make all over 2 miles and expect him to settle then when upped to 3??? No Vautour will go 2m4f then up to 3 next season. The right way to go. |

I'm beginning to think I've done ma dough !

It could have been the hard Supreme he had, but that 2m4f at Punchestown wasn't half as impressive as his previous performances though. Although on paper now, that looks a much stronger race than it did at the time - we could look back at that four runner race in a few years time, and it could produce a decent number of G1 wins.

Long way to go yet mate,and lots can happen!!

By:
Don't worry about it cufcno, I've done my dough lots of times. Alezz Colobiers was a big big loss of antepost money when he died in Nov. That was Rich Ricci's ticket to the Champion hurdle he hoped.

Allez Colombieres, some mistype below.
Yeah best way to look at bets is, it's gone until it's not gone if that makes sense. I've been a big Road to Riches fan for ages and backed him for the Ryanair after he won the Galway Plate. That's the way it goes, horse proved to be even better than I believed and he doesn't even hold a Ryanair entry now. |

My speculative Arkle bet, Top Gamble runs tomorrow. If it wins tomorrow and shows improvement yet again, it wont have too much to find with the market leaders. GL

Looks like UDS will be shorter than Sprinter Sacre made his winning Arkle appearance Dosent jump as well as SS and if ground is not soft enuf at Chelters I suspect there maybe alternatives |
|
By:
Looks 'bar a fall' for UDS, or maybe someone could run a spoiler to try to upset his rhythm (like Golden Freeze and Carvills Hill).
|
|
By:
I'msolukcy, I think that was because Sprinter's Arkle had quality right the way through it. At the time Cue Card was a Champion Bumper winner and Supreme fourth, Al Ferof was a Bumper second and Supreme winner, Menorah was a Supreme and an Internation winner, and even Blackstairmountain had won a G1 novice hurdle.

Still think evens is a cracking price for UDS. I backed him yesterday in the double Irish/English Arkle at 4/1 but tempted to load more on him. Nothing will get near him, just like today.
Field will cut up and his nearest rivals will prob be Clarcam and Gilgamboa again, with possibly Josses Hill capable of a place |
|
By:
Think Gilgamboa will go JLT now
|
|
By:
I wonder what the likely Arkle lineup will be?
Un De Sceaux Josses Hill Vibrato Valtat Sgt Reckless? Clarcam? Three Kingdoms? Solar Impulse? Struggling to see any others. |
|
By:
Can't see many more than that Chief.
He could go off very very short. |
|
By:
UDS very impressive today. Maybe too impressive? Heads for Champion Chase.

I backed him for that on here ages ago,but hes not got an entry.
Guess they could supplement him,but pretty unlikely. |
|
By:
Think about it:
Vautour Arkle Valseur Lido JLT Don Poli RSA UDS Champion Chase C Fever Ryannair All going for a race that fits with their profile imo. Whilst I wouldn't normally be an advocate of a novice in the champion chase the impression he left me with today leads me to believe that the race (CC) is there for the taking. It would also imo keep all the owners happy assuming UDS wins the CC. Just a thought no inside info. Forty |
|
By:
He won't be going for the Champion Chase, he's not entered and Champagne Fever is most likely headed there.
|
|
By:
Can they not supplement him?
Forty |
|
By:
They won't
|
|
By:
You are probably right.
It was just a thought. Forty |
