I'm telling you he wandered around like a drunk, over the last 1/2f at Kempton, yes he did seem to be travelling well, but as I say the Kempton race told me he wouldn't have stayed.

Ablind man could see Breannan was all over the shop before the horse fell,i dont expect the mug's to understand that.

always feel they tempt fate when the C4 coverage is all about the horse in the yard, interview with Brennan, how much the horse means to everyone... They are not machines, they risk their life every time they go out to race and at this rareified level they are put under maximum pressure.

glad all got up ok after that, he may never mentally recover from that fall, the horse that is..been a shocking festival for fatalities....connections have big decision to make, this horse owes no one anything, retire the bugger as tizzard would say..he's came back from breathing issues fractured pelvis and lots more besides..they can only give so much before they drop..again hope all r ok when the adrenalin wears off..

acey knows. At least there's still some sense on the forum.

Nonsense cricketnut.
He outstayed the second at Kempton and had the third 13 lengths behind. He could have gone around again when he won at Haydock this year. All G1s against top class company. |

Cue Card wouldn't have won. Cossack has won that on the snaff.

Don't be so stupid, he's just got straight up and galloped off, he won't be affected at all, he would have bn the gold cup winner without mug Brennan and clown like you comes on and wants to retire him! Go back to bed, you make me sick.
|
|
By:
it might have been, that he was beginning to tire when he made that final mistake
He was going better than at any point in the race when he came down. |

Can we just say it looks like it would have been a good battle between the two we have been robbed of it twice. Roll on King George

AP making poor excuses. No shock there.

Such a shame he fell and didn't get round, crowd wanted a proper race and flat after the fall, a total anti-climax of a race to a great weeks racing. Hopefully Coneygree can come back next year and a decent gold cup.

Horse was on the bridle when it fell. Anyone saying it wouldn't have stayed is an idiot. The most annoying thing was that Paddy was in and out all race to avoid being behind Djakadam. When he finally get's the horse some light it decks. Gutted.

clown like you comes on and wants to retire him! Go back to bed, you make me sick. the horse mentally may not recover from a fall like that, only time will tell, unlike u I wont lower myself to ur standard of abuse and pocket talk, retiring the horse will b discussed have no doubts. |

feel sorry for connections. Not been a good few months for them
|

By:
i backed him and have no complaints. If a horse doesn't take off, no one can do anything about it.
|
|
By:
Of course it won't be discussed, there is nothing wrong with him, Colin just said that as well in case you weren't watching, Who mentioned any bet?

Call me cynical but I feel sorry for the punters. Horse was going into cruise control when 'fell'.. |

Not sure whats worse, this forum or twatter?
@TomConnally_ 21m21 minutes ago Really poor jockeying from paddy Brennan there! Cue card had it in the bag if he jumped that fence! #CheltenhamFestival #GoldCup @olias39 Paddy Brennan totally at fault there asking #CueCard for much too long a jump. Cue all the commentators too scared to criticise him |
|
By:
He'll probably be going to Aintree, and who'd back against him there?

The truth always hurts (and upsets the weak)

By:
just shows how many clowns there is about..brennan never moved a muscle
pocket talk at its finest. |
|
By:
The horse wasn't asked and simply didn't take off, ran through the thing ffs
Shoddy round of jumping though jumped like a crab all the way |

Invisible Layer 18 Mar 16 16:03 Not sure whats worse, this forum or twatter? There's plenty of tw@ts on this Forum that's for sure. |

By:
Cue Card put in an extra step and accordingly hadn't the angle to get over the fence. Wasn't jockeys fault imo.

Colin just said he seems ok, 2morr could be different, but sure ur the expert on horse physically and mentally..the last thing this owner wants after the few months they've had is to lose this horse..why risk it, they had the chance of a huge pay day, that will never come around again..only time will tell..personally I would retire the horse..he's done enough.. |

And yet, it was about to lead....cruising.. |
|
By:
Rubbish, I absolutely guarantee he will not be retired and will be back for the same rounnd of events nxt yr.

yes stewerty he was....

I have no doubt that this fall will leave a huge impression on the mind of CC..he's never bn on the floor in his life except to sleep..every fall leaves its mark.. to a horse falling over is as close to death as they get..it wakes them up esp the smart ones..he's pretty smart in my book to work it out for himself.. |

By:
Come on doggydog Kauto took an horrendous fall in the GC and he went on to win more races. I'm sure the team will do whats right for the horse and that may mean calling it a day for the season and heading to Haydock again.
|
|
By:
Don't see why they should n't run him at Aintree in the 3 mile chase there as long as he's OK physically, he actually won't have had a hard race there as the first two.

they all react differently, cant compare KS to CC mentally..impossible..he'll b 11 next yr..this was a bad looking fall, Brennan was lucky to walk away too..i wouldn't blame him for that fall, horse didn't come up for him..mayb horse and jockey will never recover..time catches up with everyone..of course Kauto was retired and died from a suspected fall..who knows..sometimes whats best for a horse can be the wrong thing.. |

Having watched the race another three times I'm sure of the following....
I'm convinced if the horse hadn't fallen I'm 80% sure it would have won. I'm also convinced if the beast hadn't taken a fall I'm 95% sure it would have won or finished second at worst. |
