Big Bucks in one word.

gunner, i think thats right aye

sint opinion on city 6/4 please

there away from has not been impressive , think last two PL games have scraped a 1-0 ? not sure but they have more than enough fire power. Adebayor returns and they are on a good run. Would rather be backer than a layer.

ty fella

Having your mortgage on AR ?

I'm a bit worried tho, have got Tatenen, What-A-Friend and Masterminded in a 120/1 treble


What you think on Tatenen for the Paddy Power AR/Sint? Quite like him for it.

149 a smidge high given he completely lost it last season?

Think hes an early season horse, looked up to 149 at the start of last season

might be best fresh but think he has a bit to prove at the moment.

tatenen is a woofer and a flat career beckons
hth

well i liked him obv! Think they've always wanted him stepped up also. Handles the track and likely ground. Will be a price as many won't like him.

Anyways might be worth looking out for

Next year's Ascot Gold Cup winner imo :D

I wouldn't back any nicholls horse for the paddy power

Seems
Big Bucks has
Improved
Per the
Master

Must be
awesome
Come Chelters
:)

Laddiess World Hurdle hero Big Buck's is reported to have improved for another summer on his back.

Paul Nicholls has a firm plan in mind for his star and is delighted with his progress..

Nicholls commented: "He is gleaming and has improved physically since last year.

"He will start off at Newbury, then go to the Long Walk at Ascot, the Cleeve at Cheltenham and then back to the Festival and Aintree.

"His campaign is easily mapped out, and hopefully he will be hard to beat again."

And so it begins B-)

Let hope there is a happy ending and everyones pockets are filled with Big Bucks come March ...

We dare to dream, Spirit. Fingers crossed. :)

:D
Did you back the order of merit aswell AR ?

Nah I left that, although technically assuming good fitness he's a moral for that. Already a large investment for Chelts, so thought I'd leave that one! :p
You?

No backed neither.

Will no doubt include him in some acca's on his race days though.

fair play B-)

LUCKY

Potentiallythebeststayinghurdlerever

better on better ground too.

that was gruelling to watch, sometimes makes you wonder if horses should be raced at extreme trips on extreme ground imo. A hard race that was.

the ANDRE THE GIANT OF RACING

Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese

If i was Willie Mullins i would seriously consider running Mikhael D in the world hurdle. On a line through Dianmond Harry and Karabak he has the beating of Big Bucks.

i would run mdh in world hurdle as well.purely as times running out for a campaign over fences.wont beat bbucks tho.

Don't know about that.
How close you get to Big Bucks and getting past him are 2 different things.

re: thefarmers post

was pulling up on the line, again.

Flatspot

Looking forward to that in March Harch.

an in running dream this hoss, mind you so was the drever probably - had my balls on him early though and have to say they were in my mouth too

had PLENTY in hand today.

I love Big Bucks! However, once again, I have been unable to give the beast a high speed fig. His run at Newbers last week was roughly on par with what I have given him in the past (90).
Could it be that the decent staying hurdlers at the mo are not that brilliant? To be honest, I don't know. What I do think though, is this: If something half decent comes along between now and Cheltenham, Big Bucks would be worth opposing. I am still of the opinion that if Zaynar gets 3 miles he could pose a serious threat in the world hurdle and could be better than Punchestowns at the trip.

Think your post sums shows why speed figures (a laughable term for measuring 3 mile hurdles in heavy ground) are a load of sh1t Fastbear.

Why anyone puts any faith in them for NH racing is beyond me.The unbeaten reigning World Hurdler,Big Bucks,is rated the best hurdler in the world yet you can't give him a high figure so you're looking for alternatives to him - what does that tell you ?.

A rather flawed system for measuring horses ability.

just use your eyes FBF, they dont lie. Horse finishes every race with his ears**ed.

One word? Resting

No bet, but go on son B-)

keephimhurdlingplease

doubtitthough

he'll definitely stay over hurdles!

could win 4 :0

think so TD?

If he were mine, with Kauto 11 next year, I'd be schooling him over fences intensely between now and november to win the Gold Cup

This is the horse that takes over Kauto Star and Denman

make no mistake of it. Stayers Hurdles are nice, but there is only one gold cup

^ takes over from Kauto

will never take over Kauto

;-)

that's what I meant mate ;)

seriously though, what a fking horse he is

I know :p

Accountcloser ... could be for me.

First stop, The Hennessy, imvho.

I've said before that he's not that quick, but he keeps winning and thats all that matters. I haven't worked out his speed figs for this race yet, will be interesting with the quick ground.

Would love to see him in a Hennessey, would have to give two stone to Bensalem!

What a race that would be

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

BeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAST!

Nothing more for this beast to prove over hurdles

MONSTER

Staying over hurdles Nicholls says :|

And then fences

I'm sure Tidal Bay will beat him one day :) lmfao

boring

^ REPORTED

What PFN said was 'I suspect he'll stay over hurdles. He schooled really well over baby fences last week'

I think they will be strongly tempted to go for the Gold Cup next year

SC, it was a bit more than that. Said he'll still only be 8 next season so he could go over fences the season after next as a 9 year old.

Crazy imo. If he were mine he'd be over fences starting November.

Neither KS or Denman would go back to the Festival with a favs chance in the GC, imo (assuming IC is around) and the Stewart family would love to win a GC. There will be a lot of talking to do over the summer but I'd bet they'll school him a few more times over fences before the new season starts.

I can see them going for 5 World Hurdles with BB.

Would be mad not to. The only problem is if he doesn't improve his fencing Ruby has said there is simply no point in going chasing, as even though he never feels like falling to him, he is always losing about 1.5 lengths at every fence and at the top level you can't get away with that in 3m chases.

Would personally love to see Kauto retire after his crack at a 5th King George, win lose or draw.

Denman I'd imagine will be using the GC as a prep for the GN.

IC will be 10, but not a lot of miles on the clock. Actually think he's a bit of value at the minute given he'll only have 2 runs before March 2011.

*Would be mad not to try him back over fences

If he were mine, i'd be happy winning the Wh and Long Walk each season until he is 9 years old.

Could become a true legend.
