Pricewise Gold Cup Tip Tuesday

I like BSB but according to his trainer his participation in Gold Cup is dependent on his performance in Peter Marsh Chase.

Doubt Segal will want to pick a doubtful starter - especially after tipping SE antepost for King George.

The other thing that disturbs me with BSB is seem to recall he was pulled out of RSA last year on account of the ground (it was officially good!) so they must think he needs plenty of give.

Really,really like the horse but he's one for on the day imo.

I cannot remember what he went for AP last year in Gold Cup I know he got Synchronised on the day.
He went for the ill fated Pride of Dulcote the year before and Imperial Commander at 16-1 the year he won.

think he may put up flemenstar ,the way the horse traveled in the lexus it looked all over before the last may be he went to early on desperate ground and on better i.e good to soft at the festival if they can hold onto him for longer and produce him later he could well get the trip only run out of it in the last 100yds in lexus and impovement likely ,if he wins the hennessey his price will collapse 16s now on here fair imo.

I like Flemenstar too but will only bet when confirmed and that includes all the others... I mean if Casey says 'it's the Gold Cup' his price is going to shorten and others will have to lengthen as a result

yeah judo i have backed him for the cc at big odds and green now, but think if he goes gold cup he has a serious chance and he may improve a lot for better ground  have took some of the 16 for gold cup

id expect him to put up tidal bay,on basis that bobs worth looks good.tidal has a chance on soft ground and if it comes up better ground it wont run

^ is anyone betting NRNB yet?

Yes Bet Victor non runner money back to place on same days racing.

Flemenstar a great horse best chaser in training bar SS but he don't stay 

he might on good round though

Howdi, Flemenstar a great horse dont think great yet? Beaten by Tidal Bay and FL, they maybe make makes Bobs Worth look great? A great horse was Kauto Star with numerous Grade 1 victories, Flemenstar got long way to go yet.

I never ceased to be amazed by the fact that people want to follow exactly what everyone else is following. The job of PW is to sell papers and if Mr Segal had any sense he would walk and set up on his own, but of course thats a different game altogether to the cosy job of jounalist tipping

zzzzzzzzzz....blocked

ps you and millhouse really should have a night out together....i have no doubt the World will have been sorted by daybreak

Duncan, if any comments I make touch a nerve at all, then great, imo...

I must confess that I share Millhouse's perspective on mnay topics on here, thankfully

I hate days like today where the bookies are shorterning all sorts up just incase Pricewise tips it; FWIW if I was writing his column I'd put up First Lieutenant as we know he acts at Cheltenham and he's a solid choice. I can see Tom going for Tidal Bay though

As somebody has already said FL doesn't finish its races that well and may struggle to see 3m2f at Cheltenham. Captain Chris could be value for a place as it will be even better in spring and if ground is good.

Did he not go for Captain Chris antipost for the GC last year?

Would make a huge amount of sense to stick with that again especially as the horse has come right this year. I've taken the 25/1 NRFB with Victor either way.

He did. And then it jumped appallingly in the january trial. If I'd backed it I wouldn't want to see it run again before the GC. That was a hard race at Kempton.

not the comments per se, more hearing them for the zillionth time

Not quite sure why this guy is worthy of "Sir Tom" status etc...i don't follow his tipping to the letter, rarely have backed one of his from his advice, think the advertised prices are false in the extreme and don't have him as some sort of God that a few on here seem to view him as. Does anyone have his level stakes points to starting price?

Anyway, who would I put up? To me, only 3 horses can win the gold cup. Bobs Worth, Sir Des Champs and Silviniaco Conti. Bobs Worth is a valid favourite. Flemenstar has zero chance of staying as does Grands Crus, First Lieutenant will not stay either, previously beaten horses in a Gold Cup (Tidal Bay, Long Run, Giant Bolster) have a shocking record, only Kauto Star has ever regained his crown and Long Run isn't a Kauto Star. Also had a very hard race lto. Captain Chris isn't good enough neither is Hunt Ball, despite the owner thinking he is the next Arkle.

Sir Des Champs my number one. 2 from 2 at Festival, 2m 4f way too short when beaten by Flemenstar and showed in Lexus another 2f could be perfect in March. Would have to jump better though and think he will on better ground.

Bobs Worth is a Cheltenham specialist and tough as they come. Stays, jumps and Hennessey winner. Worthy favourite.

Silviniaco Conti trained by the right man, will stay but lack of track form a worry.

pw is crap  i wouldent be so sad to follow the rubbish put out pathetic load of rubbish

"Another" moan up FFS  ^^^

Well looking on OC looks like SD Champs and or First Lieutenant , hopefully these cowering bookies will put their prices back in the morning, but I think there both pretty solid AP choices..The one i am certain he wont put or will run in the race is Captain Chris..Despite being an Arkle winner CC patently dislikes the course and doesnt now go left handed. rarely this adamant but cant win and wont run IMVHO.

dont care what he puts up

SDC

hope he dont put conti up, hoping for at least 5s on the day

All that we really know at this stage is that audi1 is certainly the most stupid person ever to post on this forum.

that is some accolade Lazarus..stiff competition fot that Ballon D'or! .Congratulations Audi..Come On Down!

ha ha ha - what a plank he is

hope pw comes back laz , cos i was his biggest fan last year when he made me a lot of cash . he just doesnt seem in the same class this year, hes well capable though

The bet is Flemenstar at 12-1 nrnb Bet Fred

12's now gone. That lasted long :)

12's now gone. That lasted long :)

femenstar cant beat bobsworth .

foyles knew !

I would be very surprised if Flemenstar stayed that far.

I would nt

"My feeling is"?
Who gives a monkey's todger about what you think?

SDC...looks all over a dour stayer..if theres cut it will take some beating.

with better ground probable  than he has been running on this winter at the festival every chance  of him staying imo ,

can't see Flemenstar getting up the hill,
no matter what the ground will be,non stayer,
reminds me of Florida Pearl.

Just the way I see it...that extra 2f is along way at chelt

It is actually Sir Tom`s opinion that is of value. Thanks.

they said imperial commander by the same sire as flemenstar wouldd not stay ,and we know what happened there !

, sorry, had to laugh

with better ground possible in the hennesey, if he were to pish up, and it looked as if he would on the turn in the lexus ,he will be near fav for the gold cup !

looked that way in the Lexus,but petrol run out.

on desperate ground tho penzance .

what racing is all about,he's good enough,
but will he stay?To me no,yes with others.
We'll find out if he runs.
   GL

time to trade on flem now then.

Laz, where do you think the value is?

PETE THE FETE, IMPROVING

I said, I would put up Flemenstar yesterday. Did I back it? No.

Beef or salmon

I was standing next to him in the Haydock Paddock last year when he shouted ' Hey Alice, do you like the jumper? 'She laughed and replied 'lovely'

    Well done Wyn, I wish I had entered. I am hoping there will be a similar contest for followers of Tom Segal one day, I will be 1.01 to win.

The whole thread is about Sir Tom and yet Koi laughs!!!

There are some incredible people about.

If Tidal Bay can beat the best of the Irish horses I would be looking at home to find the Gold Cup winner.

Unless Mr Casey has said that his target is definitely the Gold Cup I'm surprised Tom Segal selected Flemenstar, a doubtful runner ? a doubtful stayer. If I had to select an Irish horse for the big race it would be Sir Des Champs. Good luck to those that managed to get on Flemenstar at 12/1.

So Flemenstar is the tip, Does Tom mention the recommended price and who it is with? Thanks in advance.

1pt flemenstar 12/1 fred n/r no bet, or 14/1 with billys,pp,spoils.

Thanks, ashleigh...much appreciated. Also appreciate your 'stand out' prices piece on a Saturday!

Thank Ashleigh, appreciated as always!

Seems to be a few shrewdies willing to give Flemenstar another chance on better ground. Interesting one. He wasn't beaten all that far on desperate ground after running way too keenly (just stating possible case for why he folded after the last). Noticed a few of the better horses were struggling in the conditions at Leopardstown over the week. Arika Legionaire for instance was completely out on his feet after the last in his race even though he stays a lot further. personally liked the other option of just letting loose over 2miles in the Queen Mother...attack attack attack like there's no tomorrow (just something I'd prefer seeing ie a decent challenger to SS).

my own take on the lexus was that it pointed out the strength of the hennessy this season and that Bobs Worth and First Lieutenant were the ones to take note off in terms of....connections of the latter have said for ages the Gold Cup on better ground would be his thing so I wouldn't completely write him off.

they said imperial commander by the same sire as flemenstar wouldd not stay ,and we know what happened there !

IC was outbattled by a nose (A gnats whisker actually) by Kauto Star over 3 miles.

FStar looked as if the wheels fell off after cantering all over the field 2 out

load of crap ................ sad backing his selections

lazarus will answer once he's removed his head from Seagull's bottom...Flemenstar my aarse. Muppets

Queen Mother Champion Chase this time next week...he's surely not opposing Sprinter Sacre

he will oppose sprinter with an e.way tip ,not because he thinks it will win, but he has to put up a decent priced selection for the column.

Ballydole adds his name to list of vulgar plebs who infest this forum. Well done.

lazarus2 perhaps you would like to give your opinion of the merits of the gold cup field you do not have to agree with tom's selection he can be wrong from time to time.

audi why is it sad for those backing his selections? In the past festivals have you found Newmill 33-1,Star De Mohaison 33-1, Soldatino 16-1 Imperial Commander 16-1 Al Ferof 25-1 Captain Chris 25-1 ?

Lazarus - you tell me who you think will win the Gold Cup and why? I will confidently say that Flemenstar will not win the Cheltenham Gold Cup because he will simply not stay 3m 2.5f around Cheltenham racecourse. Nor would he place in my own humble opinion.

Also, if you have the Pricewise level stakes profit handy that would be great.

Still 12s around in various places but I would wait til his next start as he will need to win to even be considered for the CGC

raced with the choke out the whole way in the Lexus and only collared close home so needs to learn to settle and travel more kindly if he is going to get the trip - massive danger if he does

and if he doesn't get the Gold Cup trip there are plenty other races for him

I was actually laughing at you...I'm not afraid to put an opinion up, be it right or wrong...

Would like to hear your own opinion on the race though...

ballydoyle, il stick up for laz cos im a big pw fan , il tell you what will win and why, its not pw cos it cant stay the distance and wont get up the hill, bobs worth is the real deal stamina power and class and the best jumper by a mile , so dont keep trying to find others when the glaring obvious is staring you in the face, bobs worth will win and easy

If only life was so easy

yes tigershark, love it when people 'know' exactly what is going to happen 10 weeks in the future

Life is that easy on the occasion this horse is special will out jump any horse in trainig at this distance and further,will improove again and will win get on it. does anyone else agree with me

cracker - these people will never understand; that`s what makes it all such fun.

id love to see flemenstar win the gc but seriously hard to see him coming up that steep hill after 3m2f..i hope im wrong.the parade ring after he won would be good!!

lazarus still waiting to hear your view on the race.

dod doesn`t seem to understand this thread.

More chance of you poking Kelly Brook.

*dod, that is.

Knew you did not mean lazarus saddo.

Well done - bright lads.

how else can you ride ,he,s going to outjump most at ebry fence ,what are they going to do reign him back so  waste his biggest asset

Ballydoyle: Also, if you have the Pricewise level stakes profit handy that would be great.

The 'Punting Genius' Mr Segal not quite lived up to such a billing this year has he.

Or last year even.

This time last yr pw was on fire he made me a lot of cash in jan, feb, mar, i was so confident with his selections it was better than printing money and i was getting on.it was as if the bookies just thought hes bound to loose soon but if he tipped a looser he came bouncing back,those days seem a long way away now, i dont know whats happened to him, i still bet them but only to min stake now, come back tom.

Didn't he get into bed with a high street bookmaking chain last February?

laz exposed again on his own thread.......claims a 5/1 winner without the 20p rule 4

the last 13 Gold Cup winners all ran in one of the King George VI Chase or the Lexus Chase and Bobs Worth ran in neither so that has to put a question mark in your mind

but posters like Crackpot or whatever he is called are happy to decide now that the horse is past the post!

Still waiting Lazarus....or do you not have an opinion of your own?
