i think too much is being made about the trip, the sire gets plenty that stay further, first hurdle run over the extended two miles is hardly conclusive imo.

can understand the reasoning at the prices though, should be a great race to watch, good luck

I did say, I'm hopeful he will get better and become the 2nd, even 1st best horse in NH history.
But currently the 3rd best NH horse ever???

He should win today, but even then.....

If he does get beat today it will be because of the trip not because he has been overrated.....imo.

FB - do you still think there's a chance the trip will find him out?
I can't see it but if that's the case, I'll hold my hands up - even if he still wins!
I want to see him hard held or preferably galloping right to the line...and I expect that.

I think his form is a bit over-rated, but potential to be lots better as he has never been asked any sort of a question. Cue Card sets a good standard over perfect C&D though, I expect a career best from him, running to something in the high 170s. Good bet around 6-4 to be in the first 2. I love Flemanstar, but he's a big old fashioned chasing type and the course might be plenty sharp enough for him.

Someone give Kauto a call and get him out of retirement to give him a test. Surely Kauto has had enough of break dancing now.

sounds to me like you need to start
Is it true you dont even bet on here BFF?

to see if I horse stays any distance only one way of finding out gentleman.....

Maybe Finian's Rainbow will surprise a few people and he could be the one for the F/C at a decent price - ground's in his favour and he's a C&D winner.

Poor race last year,NG.

FB - I realise that, but he's got a higher mark than Cue Card & Flemenstar, who might have a bit of a war up front...it may be run to suit Finian's Rainbow to run on for second place.

I'm having a small dabble on the F/C after having said I won't be having a bet.

wow,

After reading the idiotic posts on here, you realise why 90% are losers!!!!!!!!!!!

And fair credit to Cue Card ran a great race.

Staggering really but at least Cue Card proved beyond all doubt that he is the second best chaser on the planet.

What would u do with the winner now

....and if by any chance he does get beat today, Timeform and their commercially-necessary ratings
will lose a lot of credibility


just fortunate these hyped horses with their commercially-necessary ratings keep pi$$ing up! keep guessing, Einstein

I think that would be it for the season if he was mine

IF you cant spot an exceptional horse with your eyes then don't try programming a computer what ever happens!

could do the Queen Mother, Ryannair and Cheltenham Gold Cup treble next season
