Nube Negra on the snaff

won an utterly crap race

golden carrots

2nd never travelling, bumped along after 2f
race completely fallen apart

bookies stopping off B&Q for wheelbarrels of cash

I had him down to win the grand annual at the festival, has a high cruising speed but cant have improved that much, shirley ?

altior dismounted
might be last we've seen of him

Plenty of clowns on here knocking the Sketons over the last few years.....seething!

You cannot make this game pay if you not in the know.  Far easier sports around to make it pay on here.  This game is only for small pennies if not getting inside info.  Far too many variables against you.

Yep amazing how many times you will see a horse disappear and comeback 20lb better in this sport.

Football & Horse Racing very difficult

Showed a good level of form last season and only a 6yo........

What about the form book?  Even the Captain & Nevo yesterday were lost for words what they were witnessing -

come on geoff he was impressive in his last win at fakenham .

I backed him in the kingmaker

was its 7 length defeat by Rouge Vif that made you think it would win that on the snaff on seasonal debut then Whippin?

on a serious note duc des genievris must be one of the worst arkle winners ever.

I always thought his La Zarzuela flat form marked him out as a potential star

testing ground & brutal pace that day

3rd in a shocking fred winter

DDG needs it bottomless.

GC - gone at the game, Duc flattered in getting due to surprise run, SR in and out, rouge was disappointing

Altior like Bob's worth, once that heart is broken,retire him

Nice win for the Spanish thou.

No it was the Right Handed track, coming back from a break, being only 6 and the stable in scintillating form.....basically it was a pin job!

it was indeed wondersobright even so you would have thought he would win again at some stage now 8 runs and almost 2 years.

thing is its not a grade 1 horse
carried the penalty last year in grade 2s
won't win a hcap off 160
there isn't really a suitable race for him

duc has had it bottomless twice since the arkle

4th of 5 btn 35 lengths at navan
8th of 9 btn  21 lengths at punchestown

Yes Kempton is a right handed track but what relevance is that when his 2 easy chase wins where both LEFT HANDED!

14-1 FOR THE CC
Fair PRICE

The 2nd at Sandown surpasses those 2 wins IMO. (Hurdle win at Market Rasen & brought down at Taunton when going well) the only other runs going Right Handed. You still needed to take a leap of faith that improvement was to come but being only a 6yo you had to be hopeful.

best ever run 154 warwick kingmaker left handed, 2nd best 153 sandown henry VIII
nothing at all in the left/right handed argument
I think the heavy rain overnight done him a massive favour
unusual for a horse with plenty of boot & its certainly been campaigned like a good ground horse

Yeah, like I follow ratings! If I did that I would be backing the favourite in every race. Also the race Altior had with Cyrname has left a mark. That's what you get when you listen to the Chapman's of the world.

what do you follow, seaweed hanging out of the window?

but your justifying a spurious right handed  preference on a better performance (ratings) than his easy left hand wins.

Retirement beckons for Altior,I hope.

Skletons on fire.

Not bad to win 5 out of 12 at a meeting like this. Clear second in the trainers title but still nearly £500k behind Nicholls.

Been saying it for years on here. Top class trainer & jockey, just a matter of time before Dan wins a trainers Championship.

Time will tell but I think a few are being a bit harsh on the winner there. Looked a really good performance from a young horse that hasnt had that much racing the last couple of years. A lovely looking horse who I hope can go on from this.

Dan, brings them along in the right way.....Protektorat, Shan Blue, Allmankind & Nube Negra all look like they can improve further with time and racing.

thats about 8 cham[pion chases ive heard this year and another 8 3 mk chasers who cant win the gold cup
ryanair looks like been a big field this year,

lots of strange results since Chav and his ilk have taken back control.
