i know flying bolt seems to like trying to have an argument with me. im not for 1 minute saying ask wont win but at the prices i wouldnt back him because he hasnt proved he stays . ide be pretty confident myself that yankee doodle of obriens will definitely improve alot for the step up in trip and at a big price take a little risk on him improving although hell need to

If you think Paktai would be a 4/7 shot perhaps you should take up gardening. Are you sure you want to stand by that statement ? |
|
By:
This thread has cheered me up no end.............
|
|
By:
fb, there was a slight exaggeration, not even yeats in his pomp would have been those odds at this stage, you must be the worlds biggest jobsworth not see a little artistic license
|
|
By:
Don't think he would be 4/7 either personally, Ask's class would see him stay the trip
|
|
By:
zilzal, not even fb would fall for that statement
|
|
By:
what do you lot think of yankee doodle. i know he looks a slow old boat but i could maybe see him running a place hell be staying on thast for sure
|
|
By:
Rider, I presumed you meant if he turned up on the day,
If that is not correct then wtf did you mean ? |
|
By:
has patkai no chance of making it to ascot? what is the injury?
|
|
By:
paktai is not enyersd in the gold cup end off
|
|
By:
fb it should be obvious, even to the most clueless jobsworth, that paktai, as a progressive 5yo would have been aimed at a race he was unlucky in last year and would have had a a very good chance of winning, fck he must be in everyones notebook, so 4/7 is a send up of how obvious the tip is...get it now ?
|
|
By:
im gonna back yankee doodle for the gold cup ew. they must rate the horse pretty highly and have high hopes theyve not used him as a frigging pacemaker yet
|
|
By:
Oh you were joking were you ?.................and there was me thinking you were a clueless twerp who would backtrack on his statement when challenged.
|
|
By:
how was Patkai unlucky last year?
|
|
By:
flyingbolt give it a rest . i would have definitely made him favourite thats for sure.
|
|
By:
he was unlucky last year in the sense that he ran into yeats on a going day. hed have won 15 lenghts without him . take yeats out of the race last year if he waa fit hed now be trading even money ante post favourite
|
|
By:
Oh well if you would have made him favourite that's it then.
:^0 Which tracks is it you stand at ? |
|
By:
so every horse that took on Sea the Stars was "unlucky"?
|
|
By:
take yeats out of the race last year he won by at least ten . and every 1 would have been raving saying how brilliant he is . and he would undoubtebly be favourite ante post for this race. im not saying every horse that ran behind sts was unlucky but the 2nd horses against sts didnt beat every other horse in the field by 15 lenght
|
|
By:
fb you need to lighten up a bit, the price on the day would depend on many things, but the point remains the same its all a bit obvious

Last years Gold Cup was a weak renewal. Yeats was on the downgrade. Patkai is a good horse and would have a chance if fit.
He would no way be a "certainty" or an odds on shot. |
|
By:
every gold cup is normally a weak renewal .
|
|
By:
last years till has horses such as eastern anthem in the race . a dubai sheema classic winner. who obviously didnt stay .
|
|
By:
were is ask starting off this season? what happens if he wins a group 1 over a mile and a half this season again . i dont c why they would run in the gold cup if it does
|
|
By:
Eastern Anthem isn't top class and Yeats wasn't on the downgrade last year.
If he hadn't been in the race who's to say what the line up would have been. |
|
By:
to be fair he was on the downgrade wasnt he yeats . if he wasnt they wouldnt have retired him. and eastern anthem is a group 1 winner regardless. i dont think hes top class but he has won a group 1
|
|
By:
ide have to say that was a truly legendary training performance from obrien to get yeats to run like that in the gold cup
|

no gold cup winners in that field thast for sure dananders 28 Apr 15:02 its quite obvious that patakai is going towin the gold cup or at least be in 1st 3 . no horse in that race will be placed in the gold cup . big bucks could win a gold cup double though imo . shame he needs ruby to ride |

if you give me the choice right now if patakai was fit . if i was moore ide ride the proven stayer who only found the great yates too good last year . Hard to know where to start with this... |

I fear a thread coming about Paul Nicholls runners in the ascot gold cup.

i fancy yankee doodle to improve a bit . guaranteed stayer by the looks of it . might not improve enough but ew at 28s not too bad. ballydoyle must rate him because theyve not ued him as a flamin pacemaker yet
