What koi has failed to grasp is that the NH veterans who spend the last two years of their career in this game are still better than what the ptp field has to offer. He will always tip an improving pointer to beat these old warriors but nowadays there is not much coming through, bar the Wincanton winner on Thursday. Where his weakness lies is trying to beat the NH horses who do not incur any penalties and consequently carry the minimum weight. I believe that Galway Jack was the rightful winner.

I know what you are referring to, the point is you never seem to comment on any of his winning selections yet always manage to be one of the first ones on the threads straight after a loser with a sly dig. You are just one sad bitter stalking moaning bellend. Why not just ignore his posts/threads if you detest them so much???
HTH

Am not in any way knocking the bet but I disgree with the criticism of the ride. Ardea is normally held up and the leaders in the Hunter were setting a faster pace than was set in the Towton earlier on the card where better horses finished knackered. I think Joe Wright wasn't to blame and just got beaten by a better horse at the weights. I didn't back Galway Jack but I thought he won on merit.

Ok, in view of how hard the leaders went will have to agree to disagree. I think if the horse had been as good as the winner he had a perfect set up. He is generally held up nowadays, isn't he. Haven't seen the last two points but taken the running notes in the formbook at face value he has been held up (fair play if that's wrong) and was dropped out for both his Hunter wins. I took it as read he would be held up today.

For a horse that had fallen in its previous races, the winner never missed a beat today and ultimately the good jumping just meant those behind couldn't get to it. I backed the second, and in hindsight I guess it could have been closer, but they did look to go hard up front.

The best horse won and he'd beat him every time he met him at those terms. Classic pointing men syndrome , when fav is beat, its either jockey error or the horse wasnt right. Its never that they picked the wrong one. The jockey gave it every chance as well, it was within 4 lengths at the 5th last and never ever was the lead unasailable

The horse did underperform, and the tactics were wrong, he was not unlucky, just given the wrong ride must have been 10-15 lengths off the pace against suspect non-stayers?

Here is the video from the third last - https://goo.gl/tw4A19 , rider not heavy with the whip? obviously believing he can pick it up(over-belief) stumbles on landing second last(probably cost a length and half, and again last fence another length or so cost? but this video does not show the easy ride it was given early and the amount of ground a stout stayer was given to make up.I take nothing off the winner, nor do I wish to ridicule the jockey, I have seen much worse.

I really don't know where anyone would get the idea that 1st time poster is a bit of a stalker/obsessed with koi, logs on today and the only thread he posts on is this one and then logs off.
On a note of this race, although it does seem the winner went off pretty quick and the second may have been too far back I think the jock on the winner deserves some credit. He gave the horse a nice breather coming around the turn before the 4th last and then went on again.

I take the point but maybe they underestimated the winner or over rated their own horse? Aren't most connections gutted when they have a strong favourite that doesn't win? Not really knocking Ardea, he is a likeable horse and clearly very good in point to point terms. I think he will win another hunter chase on the form he showed last year and on yesterdays form as well. But I wonder if they are clutching at straws to a degree.

Wonderful Charm isn't even a veteran. He is nine! I think Nicholls has a policy now of getting good horses qualified once they get a bit sour or high in the handicap by simply not running them for a year or two when there isn't anything wrong with them just so they can make the qualifying requirement of not winning too much prize money. But if that is the rule, can you really blame him for doing his best for his owners?
