I Don't get it
Was on at Cheltenham. He is too short today but the 18 odd times chamption legend has just sat there and told us all that the National is THE plan, he has a turn of foot but the plan is the national. AP will almost certainly ride him so get on at 40/1 because if he places or wins he ain't gonna be 40/1 after that.
Personally I actually think he's got a great chance in the National and a decent weight.

Didn't stay 4 miles at Cheltenham last year did it ?
Do you reckon it'll manage 4 and a half at Aintree ? |
|
By:
Yes I do

By:
Good luck with that project.

By:
Er, weren't that bad today ....

By:
No chance of staying the trip in the National. AP has at least 2 far better potential mounts.

**************** OK LADS GIVEN THE 'NEWS' WHO IS ON ??? *********************
Stand out bet for me now let's hope this is value you can eat yes ? |

By:
'NEWS'?
|
|
By:
yes that's why I put it in quote marks but apparently ....
AP confirmed for the ride I haven't been able to find any story anywhere but market move significant imo ... someone else on here said they had seen story somwhere |
|
By:
O`Neill is looking at John Hughes race for Cant Buy Time , which will leave McCoy to ride Dont Push It who has more stamina.
|
|
By:
Where is this quote saying that McCoy will ride CBT? I would be surprised if he has commited to him this early with provenn stayers like Arbor Supreme likely to be available to him.
|
|
By:
How do we know the John Hughes race ?
why the market move then ? |
|
By:
Will not stay. (nap) I was on when the tank emptied instantly at Chelters, an extra half mile not the answer.
|
|
By:
AP and Jonjo seem to think differently ?
|
|
By:
Wait and see if McCoy is riding it in the National.
If he is then don't back it. |
|
By:
Watch his race at Chelters if you can harchi, went from cruising to empty pretty much within a few strides. I personally can't get over that sight, hope I am wrong AP deserves a National.

LOOKS LIKE IT'S AP on CBT guys ...
McCOY POISED TO BUY TIME IN NATIONAL BID By Ashley Iveson, Press Association Sport Winning Jockey Grand National Special: A P McCoy to ride the winner 14/1 Can't Buy Time (IRE) Profile Arbor Supreme (IRE) Profile A P McCoy Profile Click here to follow us on Twitter! Click here for more racing news Champion jockey Tony McCoy looks set to partner Jonjo O'Neill's Can't Buy Time as he chases an elusive first success in the John Smith's Grand National at Aintree. McCoy's boss, leading owner JP McManus, has four entries for the world's most famous race in King Johns Castle, Don't Push It, Arbor Supreme and Can't Buy Time. The Willie Mullins-trained Arbor Supreme is the shortest of the quartet in the betting but at this stage, he is set to be ridden by Paul Townend. McManus' racing manager Frank Berry said: "Paul Townend is probably going to ride Arbor Supreme and we're not certain yet whether AP will ride Don't Push It or Can't Buy Time. "Nothing is written in stone yet, but I think Tony will ride one of Jonjo's (O'Neill) horses. "It is a while away yet so nothing is certain but at this stage, it's more than likely Tony will ride Can't Buy Time." Speaking on his Facebook page, Mullins said: "Paul Townend is going to ride Arbor Supreme in the Grand National." |

By:
That notwithstanding I'll be surprised if AP rides CBT.
Doubtful stayer, fell last year having shown nothing, may well be best on good ground? And Jonjo's comments when the weights were announced? "Can't Buy Time is a nice horse, he might go for the Topham instead." Why on earth would AP want to be on this one...? |
|
By:
KJC ?
|
|
By:
Well anticipated, Harchibald. I think AP has messed up here. Arbor Supreme looks to have a great chance and I'd much prefer Dont Push It to Can't Buy Time.

and your knowledge of "presenting a horse at a fence" is what ?
|
|
By:
i watch ruby walsh go over a fence and then i compare mccoy at his obstacles . thats my knowledge. mccoy has never won the national and i dont think he ever will just my opinion . dont start having a go at me 4 having an opinion. the world would be a boring place if evry 1 agreed
|

By:
If you are entitled to an opinion I am entitled to disagree with it particularly as it seems you don't even know what presenting a horse at a fence means.

flying bolt you are a clear wind up merchant . i just dont think he can get a horse jumping regular enough 4 my liking anyway . im a ruby man simple as that

By:
McCoys had terrible luck in the GN and its obviously the one he wants really very badly. In those circumstances you do wonder if the frustration might make him do things differently and less naturally in the race.

By:
guys, AP MCCOY wasn't too bad in the Midlands National on a horse that isn't a naturally bred jumper (he was bred to win the derby) was he now ?
I just think he's been unlucky. Nothing wrong with AP at a fence and I'll be over the moon to have him on side at 40/1 |
|
By:
McCoy has been placed three times in the Grand National, and been rather unlucky on a few occasions when travelling well, he's won an Irish National, a Midlands National. He's won a Gold Cup a King George .... I could go on.
Anyone who says he can't present a horse at a fence is talking nonsense imo. This is just a trendy viewpoint that gets banded about every so often, by pundits that have never sat on a horse in their life, just to get a little publicity. |

By:
Not to mention stuff like winning over the national fences & the fact that he is in fact the second-winningmost jockey (19 wins versus Ruby on 21) in the last 5 years at Aintree.
