How the mighty have fallen

You surely cant be referring to the beast that managed a place in a dogshit Dewhurst

No he isnt referring to the horse who missed the Guineas through injury and never recovered.

He is referring to the horse he thought was a cert for the Guineas who I told him wouldnt win because he would be against true milers on faster ground rather than slow ground at Donny against middle distance horses and wouldnt have the pace. I also told jamesp the Dewhurst was easily the best Guineas trial compared to the Racing Post Trophy which he disagreed. The 3 horses from the Dewhurst came ahead of those from the Racing Post Trophy in the Guineas. Again I was right. I said on here I had taken St Nick for the Derby as I saw him as a middle distance horse (Racing Post Trophy etc as Derby trial) and did my money as the trainer struggled to get him ready. It will be no surprise to me if he wins the King George, the rest of you had him down as a Guineas winner ... jokers.

I am the best on here. Goodbye.

Only people who actually bet antepost should comment on it zilzal1 and not placepot guessers. Thanks again.

Ive only given you two Ante Post bets this year Junior at 12-1 for the Kim Muir and Overturn at 14-1 for the Chester Cup

Prima, Eric Morris just texted me and said he layed back for no loss and also covered the winner to win £4.5k. Beat that.

No eric, I'm referring to the horse who was NEVER going to run at HQ in the English 2000,you may remember my wife Slick'n'Smooth telling you he was being aimed at the Irish 2000 gns,St.Nicholas Abbey WAS their main English GNS runner,I seem to also remember you dismissing that bit of 'inside' info' at the time.
But yes you were right that SNA is not a miler I along with plenty of others thought he was..........the fact is 'they'(his connections) buggered him up last spring,Pure Champion (Steinbeck) was as I kept telling you and expert ben 10 just a pure Ballydoyle HYPE horse a marketing tool for his sire.The old saying 'Theirs none so blind as those that will not see' springs to mind eric reckon you would agree with that!

You have a pretty poor judgement even with your apparent inside information. This doesnt beat an eye for a horse re  a trip it will get/wont get not many are good at this even those with decent knowledge, jamesp getting the trip wrong re St Nick who he strongly fancied the Guineas, didnt think Canford Cliffs would get a mile, Hooray etc. It is a knack rather than a precise science. I backed Steinbeck before he was announced injured well before he missed the Guineas and well before you/Slick N Smooth determined he was missing the Guineas not surprising for an injured horse.

I spent most the winter putting the Cheltenham forum right on Captain Chris the Arkle who was apparently 'too slow' for the race and 'his jumping wouldnt hold up left handed' etc etc, even told them what would happen in the race, that he would pick up Finian's Rainbow up the hill and power past him. Dont tell me I am going to be needed again to help you out I thought this flat season was virtually over.

some wonderful examples of ego whataboutery from eric and zilzal 1 on this thread.

keep up the good work boys.

No eric the poor judgement is not mine with Steinbeck its yours and ben 10's,if you do think back we told you back at the end of Jan last year as we had spent time in NMKT-on-sea with connections the plan was SNA NMKT Steinbeck Curragh, with  Beethoven for the French. As it was Beethoven wasnt ready and didnt come out until a month later at Royal Ascot
