Noel Fehily was an under rated jockey for years when riding for Charlie Mann and has so much more experience at the top level than Sam TD. Sam is getting better all the time though. I thought the ride of the day yesterday was Daryl Jacob on Kings Lad. Outpaced before the last bend but kept pushing to keep in touch and then pounced when the first 2 got tired. Both he and Fehily were good in the mares race as well.

Think there was so much hype around Sprinter Sacre....professional pundits saying he is unbeatable and opposition not in the same league...etc.. Bit annoying around hype of media always looking for that fairy tale story....It was obvious the horse was vulnerable... And how Dodging Bullets got to 7/2.is beyond me... I thought 11/4 was generous!
I feel sorry for those that backed dodging at 6/4 .. ... As for Sprinter Sacre... Will he win the CC if he turns up on better ground . Erm I think he will - he so needed the run... There were glimpses of the old SS - But 3/1 still skinny... Not sure Cheltenham plays towards Dodging bullets strengths... There is also Sire de grungy to consider -so great we have a vibrant market for CC! |

WD on the winner.
I was also right with no point in getting involved antepost unless SS didn't show up though. ![]() Was quite impressed with the way the winner stayed to be fair. Looked better at the end than at any other stage. Agree SS the one to take out of the race. I'd take 3/1 on the day for sure but not antepost. |
