It generally does/should take an awful lot to have a horse odds on to win the same G1 race for the 4th or 5th time, take the likes of Vinnie Roe or Istabraq for example.
However, when reading his rp race comments from his last KG bid, it takes your breath away tbh and he's entitled to be odds on in fairness.
'''''Jumped Superbly, Settled Midfield, Steady progress 9th, Went 2nd 12th and soon clear of rest, led on long run to 3 out, swept clear, MAGNIFICENT.'''''
I'll possibly shed a tear if he wins again this year, i just hope the weather would sort itself out.

first choice would be kempton on 27th and failing that sandown - i guess his odds could be longer at sandown but that would be even more true of long run who isnt proven there and the stiffer jumping test at sandown, esp down the railway fences when they step it up turning for home, more likely to catch him out and would make him a place lay for me there. KS is 12 pounds clear on ratings, and anyway for me Long Run is the most hyped horse in NH racing - yes impressive at kempton last year but he beat Tazbar 13 lengths getting 7lbs from the second. Kauto could have given Tazbar half a stone and a fence start
