Always respect your views ryan but he has never looked like falling,slight lack of confidence from SWC was the problem imo,slightly hesitant at his fences,not now.
Thats the tricast sorted again reve. [;)] |

By:
Weapons Amnesty if his injury has left no long term scars is a challenger for the Gold cup,same with Pandorama if somehow the heavens open around March [;)]

By:
reve, if he does then ruby walsh is a lying cnunt, cause I remember a comment he made 2-3 years ago. Asked whether Master minded would stay 3 miles he said "He wouldnt get 3 miles in a plane"

whos to say that last season might not be long runs best season, a lot of french breds form tails of very quickly at 7 or 8 and they were very good young horses.
i could see bostons angel and magnanimity both by winged love improving again this season and although the sun alliance has not been a great race and second season chasers find it hard i think last years race just might be the exception. |

Busvaldo why would you laugh at weapons amnesty?He jumps a dream and has beaten long run before,remember the RSA? He was dam impressive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V_ujHbHW24

By:
Just being facetious flush but I do think LR is going to be similar,NH will be very careful with his campaigning.

History gives you a clue,unlike Paul Nicholls really?!

But Dessie did mange to give a Irish Hennessey winner weight and a thumping at the age of 12 at Sandown
Just think what he would have been rated with Phil in charge?? |
|
By:
Times have changed zilzal,not so many old fashioned bred chasers and not so many running at 11 or 12.Still no reason why KS or Denman dont have one left in them imo.
|
|
By:
Old chasers go quickly between 11 and 12, cant see either of them winning a grade one unless its really weak
|
|
By:
They do not win at that age ZIL,you are a bad lad MOLE!

And Skymas only one because Bula broke down and fell(fatally after)
Incidentally Bula was the only horse i remember being a beaten fav in all of The Champion Hurdle, Gold Cup, KIng George,and Champion Chase!! |

Cant have been the case both years zilzal.

Apologies to Bula,a great horse.

By:
Anyway Mole to leave you with a puzzle, who is the only horse in the last 40 years to be a beaten fav in successive Arcs??
|
|
By:
Noblesse?
|
|
By:
No idea zilzal,enlighten?
Btw previous was a play on the name,dont think she ever ran in the Arc.Most painful beaten fav ever was Sagace.[;)] |
