Don Poli confirmed for RSA chase

Jolly good. It's where he should be imo. And a no brainer when they'll probably have the favourite for the 4 miler anyway.

Lovely. Time for a lay....cos he is ssssssslllllloooooooow

2/1 seems very short in a really good renewal doesnt it?

2-1 frigging p1ss take.

will be at least 3/1 on the day bookie kants.

If Coneygree runs in Gold Cup he will be 6/4 maybe shorter.
3/1 is dreaming

Feckin joke of a price. He should be 11/2.

Depends how high you rate him,only going to be 6,7 runners here

running very wood in the race also

Yep he is a big price.

Great news, Wounded Warrior going for the NH chase..

Damn, I've backed Wounded Warrior in the RSA and Very Wood in the 4-miler

3 days ago Brian Cooper said Very wood was running in the 4 miler and Wounded Warrior was RSA bound.

don ploi's and very wood's trainers both wanted to go in the 4 miler,big call by the owners

Think it fair to say that Jockeys need to keep mouths firmly shut if they don't know, and anyone else for that matter.

Don Poli on what he has done to date wants taking on now who has the balls to join me

don poli has won at the festival on similar ground to what he will face and is a grade 1 winner over fences,he is only short if coneygree runs

I shall be taking him on with Coneygree as backed him for the Pillar Chase /RSA double.......if he runs!!

If he don't I shall definitely have a look at something more realistically priced.

2/1!!!!!

^^^^ good to see Buddeliea I'll buy the rope if it goes belly up

err Howdi- why would his price be short if Coneygree doesn't run....surely it would be shorter...HTH 

read your post again.

Read yours

i have and I still think you are mad

If Coneygree doesnt run, Poli's price will be shorter...........

yes well done, as Gaz said" he is only short if coneygree runs" 

i think ive got it.

your grammar was poor son

oh yeah shocking grammar "dad" , nothing to do with your intellect

my IQ was never in doubt

that would have confused people far thicker than myself.

Feeling rather smug, having got a voucher with 7/1 written on it, 2/1? Jeeezzz!

LAY OFF PAL.

The sooner they confirm Coneygree for thr RSA the better, which I think they will. More chance of getting the ground they want and a much easier race too. Cert if declared

Agreed willie, just posted on other thread

No chance only 6 run in RSA, prize money down to 6th for a kick off. I reckon 9 or 10. DP KP ST AJ ID VW TOL AND ADM if coney misses and goes gold then everything will shorten, but can't see it now myself with that race looking to be strongest in many a year and defo be a max field and rsa cutting up.

Whats more interesting is where will The Young Master run, RSA or 4 miler

Hope Coneygree does go RSA.

Me 2, got a 14/1 ticket here

25/1 out trumps you STS

That the double shock? Denman chase and RSA?? That's how I got 25.

Lay of the Festival.

He is 6yo
Only ran twice
Ain't been seen for a while
And erm....is that good they didn't know whether he was an RSA horse or a **** 4 miler!!!

Agree hes too short and with those stats hes reasons to lay,but the which race factor is down to Mullins trying to get his way I suspect,rather than whats best for the horses chances of winning a race.

Not a double Budd, was at Newbury when Coneygree won first time up and was taken with it and backed him then.

Good call Shock, nice one mate.

Lets hope he runs for our money,be good to have a big price for a horse with a good chance.

Race would certainly be better for his presence.

Don Poli will be panting for breath with Coneygree front running but me says Southfield Theatre at 14-1 ante post. Will be staying on when the two front runners run out of steam..Don Poli plugging on behind the ambulance with connections bleating on about how they should've ran in the 4 miler

With the weather Forecast as it is, I would imagine they'll run here.  Got Don Poli 9/2 as good back up so must have a chance of a collect.

Can't get the defeat at Newbury out of my head for Southfield Theatre. Was any excuse given?

Yeh ive been looking at Southfield as a saver,think hes a fair chance.

Not heard anything,but you can bet yer life he will be at his best next week.

Just too short now for what he's achieved, but can't argue with 14/1.  Won't wish it good luck though.

Trained for the race all season by P Nicholls. Not sure about the Newbury defeat but can forgive a horse a bad run. Perfect age, can race handily which is what you need here, consistent, jumps and travels, goes on the track.

My view is that Kings Palace and Coneygree will cut each other's throats. Feltham fell apart and Feltham winners are 0-19 in this so I'm not a fan of that although I do like the horse. Kings Palace hasn't ran in a Graded Chase yet and just winning small field chases. I just don't think he is that good to be honest. Fell apart in the Albert Bartlett last year.

Don Poli has it all to do both as a horse and on the stats. Beat Apache Stronghold yeah, but he clearly didn't stay and I don't rate him that high either. Was at Leopardstown on Feb 8th and B Cooper is absolutely adamant Valseur Lido will take care of Apache in the JLT. After all he thumped him in November and race fitness was the problem LTO. Wounded Warrior? Beating him doesn't get me excited either. Sorry.

The Young Master is an absolute shocker of a price. 6yo Handicapper.

TYM is Alistair Down's NAP

R.S.A
Don Poli            ew   7/1   1/4 1-3
Coneygree           ew   14/1  1/4 1-3
The Young Master    ew   16/1  1/4 1-3
Champagne West      ew   16/1  1/4 1-3 LOSER
Southfield Theatre  ew   20/1  1/4 1-3 p.w pick
Apache Jack         ew   33/1  1/4 1-3 p.w pick

Above is my book on race, very happy with my position and should be collecting! A 38% win book inc' the non runner on the main protagonists and can afford to add in Kings Palace should the bookies enhance his odds on Weds morning i will be a player.

Dont trust horses by Poliglote, not many have longevity.

I wouldn't bother if I was you

Wonderful performance today. Contrary to the the pre-Festival musings of WPM, this horse proved that he is every bit as good as his form suggests. Punters have been put away by Willie big time. There was never any chance that this was running in the NH Chase. He's been backed off the boards since being committed to the RSA. Look at the horse on the video tape on the run-in. Ears pricked, looking around. He has loads of ability. I looked at him 10 minutes after the race above the pre-parade ring where they wash them down. You wouldn't think he had a race.

As a postcript, I'm only pissed because Wounded Warrior ran in this. He would have hosed up in the NH Chase.

laddys went 10s gold cup next year after race odds complier wants shooting

What price you laying then Howdi?

id have him 4-1 max lazy brute he is with huge engine

and don poli is the same

You haven't had that feckin scouser and his mate in the house have you?

see seperate thread.
