You've some neck after naming a winner and then adding all that shyte

I laid him at 1.93. No chance i'm letting it run. Either get out in the morning or leave up I/R. Lay to back was always the plan

Judging by the exchanges, looks like I've done my money on Road to Riches anyway.

Chief - if it's any consolation, there are one or two in Meade's stable who think it is irrelevant where he goes as they think that he left his race at Leopardstown. Been a bit lacklustre since his last encounter with Cooper apparently

Cheers Delsie - was at least hoping to have a run for my money, but I was aware that it was a very risky bet to begin with, so only myself to blame.

Backed him at 16/1, 12/1, 8/1 and to place at 3/1.  Got him in a nice double with Thistlecrack at 8/1 and Thistle 2/1.

I know this is pure pocket talking, but if there was one to go the Ryanair between him and Valseur, it should definitely be RTR, although in an ideal world all 4 would go Gold Cup.

Valseur was stuffed in the JLT (Ryanair distance), then after Cheltenham by Gilgamboa (Ryanair distance) and then this year by Djakadam (Ryanair distance).  When stepped up to 3m, his only poor run has been in the King George.

Road to Riches had his chance in the Gold Cup (didn't get his ground I know), but has won over the Ryanair trip this year very comfortably, and although winning a couple of G1 3m chases, he has ran twice at the very top level and has been beaten on both occasions.

I'm hoping they'd put both in, but Felix Yonger going for it is the final nail in the coffin I suspect as Saint Ruby will be on him.  If RTR was in the Ryanair, Ruby would have got the spare ride on VL and there would be no need for Felix.

Managed to get rid of my singles on RTR last night on here at 8's, but reinvested at 7/2 NRNB, so effectively got 9/1 NRNB now, so made up with that. Still got the place bet running and the good Thistlecrack double, but no squeeky bum time now.

He price has come in over the last 12 hrs so maybe not as cut and dry as I thought.
