Seems to have pulled them all.
Does he not have any horses that like soft?
Or is he just sulking now?

If you own a horse that likes good or faster ground then it strikes me that any entry at Cheltenham in any year is a wasted entry fee.
Why should those horses be penalised by watering good ground? "Fast ground is dangerous" is always the answer glibly given. Well look at the poor buggers that fall in the **** ground and are so tired they can hardly rise to their feet. The whole days racing has been ruined. |

I was also on Thyme White but ante post unfortunately. Paul Nicholls still picks up £22k with Politologue so Nicky still needs another big pot to get close in the championship.

Watering was a mistake but it would still have been heavy by now even if he hadn't.

I feel sorry for Nicholls yard, they planned bringing a select team and horses that had some good chances, and the whole plan got washed away with the overnight watering. It doesn’t take a genius to realise that the watering resulted in such shambolic ground in a matter of hours.
Unfortunately, his plan backfired but hoping to see BRAVESMANSGAME at Aintree at make some amends. |

Nobody will criticise him though, will they, particularly as his daughter is now on the train?
Only seems to see things one way, his. Huge difference in his reaction to that of Henderson after Shishkin was pulled up. |
|
By:
True - but I think the pressure taking a select team added a bit more pressure to deliver, clearly his confidence went after the first race …

Without the watering the ground would had been ok for the first few races.

He's got a horse that likes soft, Saint Calvados. Just been taken out of tomorrow's Ryanair.
Was taken out last year on the back of the ground being too quick! Must have understanding owners |

By:
Saint Calvados NR 2-50 " two wins on heavy going " is owned by Kate & Andrew Brooks , they also own Simply The Betts NR 4-10 who has also won on heavy going

Very odd indeed.

I thought that too.

By:
He’s obviously got the hump with the clerk & is basically boycotting the festival,tbh I can share his frustration the decision to water was brain dead.
|
|
By:
He is light years away from the the glory days of Kauto Star, Big Bucks, and Master Minded.
He has a large number of horses, but not the quality. So what if he boycotts Cheltenham, it won't be much of a loss to anyone bar himself. |

I don't blame Pullin at all. He,like the rest of us can only be guided by the forecasters,who have proved once again to be utterly hopeless
I don't think he had a choice after the first day as jockeys were saying it was on the fast side of good If i was Nicholls I would be more concerned about the ridiculous hat his daughter is wearing today. She looks like she is on the way to a Victorian funeral |
