c4 and cape tribulation

They probably thought he was soft.

so many quesion marks re other runners thou?.
grand crus operation,hunt ball trip,ic first run back,etc.

But they represent a broad spectrum of society.

I was out working yesterday so i didnt see c4.

but i find all racing coverage is done at a breakneck speed. They will show a 3 second clip of each horse and if it is trained by a top trained or is a hot fav it will get a longer clip.

Their should be time to go over every runner, showing their last runs (just the finish), record on the ground, course & trip. Maybe with some history to the race.

but they treat every race like its a dog race at swindon.

I must I didn't give CT a second look when weighing up the race. Figured that he wanted much better ground and wouldn't be much of a danger. Would have probably wanted 18's at least! Shows how much I know!

Francome wouldn't of missed it even if he had to say ''He's sweating between the legs''

CT loves it soft, plus he was in the form of his life. To win 2 top class handicaps takes some doing (off 150 aintree)

Best form he has show since his debut at the festival as a novice, but he did beat a lot of horses who had question marks against them.

LOL, glossy they dont enter cape unless the meetings in doubt,likes getting his toe,knee, and belly in,

I backed the cape yesterday. My first decent winner at Cheltenham in what felt like years!

Ibrahima Sonko I totally agree about racing coverage. Why they can't show recent form from the runners is beyond me. Maybe throw in a bit of history or breeding, but no it's all matey banter and pointless interviews.

graham cunningham gave it a good mention........just about the only thing hes got right since the new lot took over

Like I said, shows how much I know!

It's a horse that's somehow passed me by over the years - never given it a second look. A blind spot I think.   

Needless to say I'll be all-in come March!

terrible camera angles too

I mean, why focus solely on Katenko in a close up all the way up the run in, meaning we never saw his finish relative to the others

also did a camera angle switch on the run in of the Argento which made it look like Imperial was gonna stay in front

reckon the director knows nothing about racing

twunts

Whoever does the camera work on the Betfair internet did a decent job with KATENKO race.

judorick - bold sir brian fell at the last and looked like he was dead hence the close up on katenko.

I thought I heard Balding talking about trib something or other.

I wouldnt worry glossy, im a big fan of CT and have probably lost over 2k backing him up until his run at aintree and yesterday. Probably a couple of hundred quid down during my following.

So if he wins the gold cup then the losses will feel easier.

As regards blind spots, I have a poor way of looking at SOME races as
to how I would like them to result.
Thought that KATENKO would receive a weight rise for winning, decided that 147 was a decent mark for Grand National, he wins so far that he will be near 160 on re-assessment,
VENETIA remarks about that in some journalistic quotes and a very unusual quote of
"an attractive option" as regards the GOLD CUP.

dave yates put up cape tribulation,and look at the stick he gets on hear.
mostly justified i must add.

between them all(pundits etc)they must have selected every horse in that race,so someone was going to be right.

Mr Eboue the close up on Katenko started at the second last we should have seen the other horses including the fall. In fact why can't they show the full races at the start of the programme for those without RUK?

bold sir brian fell at the last and looked like he was dead hence the close up on katenko.

Agreed. It did look a bit odd having such a close-up on Katenko, but that BSB fall was absolutely horrible.
