A Plus Tard ran just like Shishkin at Cheltenham

still odds on after jumped 8..wd you must have copped the lot.

12/1 for the Gold Cup is tempting if he's sound and nothing physical is amiss after a few days; Don Cossack was pushed out to 12/1 after falling in the King George Chase. Let's hope he's sound.

Not for the first time de Bromhead brings a top horse back after a layoff and it runs like a drain, I hope  I learnt my lesson now,after being pretty confident.

wouldn't be the first to romp home in the Gold Cup and then do nothing afterwards

Little Owl,Master Oats,Imperial Call,Long Run etc.etc....still difficult not to be sucked in to thinking the latest one's going to be different

Correct Lead On. It can ruin a horse to be involved in that race and that is why trainers are becoming reluctant to run their potential champions unless they are sure they are 100% right. On the other hand, Protektorat ran behind him at Cheltenham last March.

Long Run's decline was spectacular.

Ended up in a low grade hunter chase getting beat, winning prize money of £1500.

Can always forgive a horse one bad run.

Next run is the acid test.

Used the same analogy as OP on another thread before I read this, apologies Uncle.

No problem BB.

As Arthur Conan Doyle would say-
‘Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth’.

dont think you will hear henry coming out with....

..... he suffers fron a rare bone disorder

Shiskin.....Bravemansgame..... A Plus Tard. DOPED. The final nail.

How many millions running on the single following the non-runners in the obvious treble (C Hill and Presse)?
