long run got waley cohen out of troule...

trouble

Geta fkin grip you ponce

Long Run has a serious engine. If he could jump no horse would get near him.

I agree with Edward.

SWC was poor as usual - horse was too strong for CC.

SWC was poor as usual - horse was too strong for CC.

serious engine yep but real will to win and courage by the bucket load.

reminds me of Barton Bank.

just as well that Adrian Maguire was not riding Long Run.....

The horses courage won the day.

Some monumental feckin mugs on here

Decent ride from an 'amateur" rider in a massive race for the SECOND time as well as a Gold Cup and a Feltham

Losing money messes with your mind ya clueless bunnies

yeah losing money backed all 4 nicky hednderson winners.

great recovery to get up on the line there , anyone else thought he was beat over the last ?

Booooooom then larrence

You can take your sister out for dinner

Broke / skint / angry / pocket talker

FAAAACCCCT

any one who carnt see sam makes it hard for the horse is crazy ,ruby etc riding the horse would be unbeatable

in racereading mugs and ruk goons going on about the mistake down the back,bad jump but kept going forward but the 2 jumps at the final 2 were far more serious blunders,the one at the 2nd last almost brought him to a standstill

totally agree robbie, well said m8.

FFS robbie fowler ruby etc are not going to ride the horse. That's why he wasn't evens today. When are you and your ilk going to grasp this fact.

nicky27
Spot on.mate.
I thought he was beat after the last. He did really well to get him back on an even keel and running.

thanks bolt , didn't back him ...concentrate on other sports ...but King George is a sporting event I keep an eye on

henderson reaction was priceless, couldn't watch.

rubbish ride

Thanks Sam i backed you in the two races and im very happy with you !! TOPBLOKE as well

Ted Walsh wasn't impressed

I was on, not aftertiming as I put Long Run as the winner last night and was my nap of the day.
If he got Long Run beat today the forum would have gone into meltdown about SWC the likes of which have never been seen before. The horse won despite the the pilot. If it was my horse I'd let him put the saddle on but he wouldn't be sitting on it that's for sure.

The jockey ability is factored into the price especially in a market as strong as a King George , if you're price sensitive & one of these tedious punters who bang on about wanting Walsh or Geraghty to ride the horse then you'd be looking at nearer 11/10 rather than the 15/8 SP today.


You get what you pay for in this life   

Thank God the Horse Won,Sam would have got Hung Drawn And Quartered on here if he was Second.

Sam Waley Cohen owes me 200 pound after the Fakenham fiasco,however after todays ride I will be prepared to waive the refund.

harden , you are spot on  sir , sams ability/inability  is always factored in to long runs price.its not a secret, we know what he is, we know he is/will be on it.

Acey, he would have ended up in the stocks at Hampton Court Palace being bombarded with rotten fruit from the Betfair masssif.
He won and well done, it was a very long final furlong though, I've got enough grey hairs as it is.

RACK HIM !!!!

I had one mouldy pear and orange in my stocking from father christmas ready.

I have got a bag of kiwifruit in the kitchen that has seen better days, I had that at the ready

The beest thing that could happen is SWC to be injured come March .

not saying SWC was perfect but he took LR over to the rail to race with Captain Chris after the second last and he did n't incur a whip ban!

Funny enough# I watched the race on C4 live where they lauded SWC for a great ride etc..
Then watched RTE2 off Sky+ later on where Ted Walsh slated the jockey saying his inability to switch whip hand is pitiful and the horse was only dossing while waiting for a left hander.
I agree with the latter FWIW

About time most of you learned about race riding,especially in a grade 1 over fences,bad ground etc.All forgotten AP on Kauto Star?

KS never touched a twig when Ruby was on?

Posh **** riding daddies horse. If decent jock was on the horses race record would look a lot better.

Name ONE jockey pro or amateur with a better record than SWC per horses he has ridden?

Even refine it per % of horses for his father or other owners?

Waley Cohen gets far too much stick. There's no denying that Long Run would be better with Geraghty on his back, but we all know the crack before we place our bets, and I think he does a bloody good job for an amateur. Its his dad's horse and, if he wants to stick with Sam, fair play to him.

his dad is the hardest looking old posh bloke I've seen - Hendo would do well not to argue!

they dont do it for the money but for the enjoyment of the sport. he's an amateur jockey, has never confessed to be anything else. what you see is what you get,  his father is lucky enough to be able to fund his sons passion to a high level. good luck to them, days like today are what its all about for the Waley Cohens.

Well said TD,without their ilk there would not be NH racing.

totally agree GT, they have paid their dues to the sport, deserve all the success they get.

Lads i know im talking to a noledgable bunch who ve never had a losing race but come on.SWC chased a suicidal pace in the ground against the worst field i can remember in the KG and was allout to beat a none stayer who was nursed into the race and never going to find feck all off the snaff,if that donkey runs a place in the gold cup i ll stop gambling.

STOP gambling then..........name the first 2.............and the 3RD?

'that donkey' now won 2 King Georges and a Gold Cup....and still only 7yo.

i backed him,bad ride but he is an amateur,that was factored into the price,what do we expect,but all worked out well in the end,a terrible King George in terms of quality,but a great one in terms of excitement.
