It's not sporting to boo a horse...connections a different proposition. As for Jonbon greatest claim to fame is finishing behind Constitution Hill and trained by Hendo (the bookie man). I think a spanking by the Irish superstar El Fabiolo in the offing next month.

Surreal experience from the vantage point of seeing it on itv I must say.
All you can think is that having forked out the best part of twenty squids those in attendance were particularly brassed off.
After the withdrawal of the highly touted Love Envoi in the previous race one imagines that the racecourse public address went overboard in hyping up the hopeless Jonbon for the next.
Then for Jonbon to turn in that performance, with the attendant booing, well I thought i was watching the Comedy Channel.
Big Mac used to bellow 'Come racing' after a particularly stirring equine sporting climax.
This was more Carry On Racing.

I think Jonbon would be better suited in the JLT. Wake-up Hendo!
Report impossible123 February 11, 2023 8:31 PM GMT
Jonbon is not in the JLT but El Fabiolo is.
Report duffy February 11, 2023 8:58 PM GMT
El Fab would be even better at the longer trip, it would help his jumping too...won't happen though.
Report sageform February 12, 2023 11:37 AM GMT
I don't agree on the evidence so far. Jonbon needs a strongly run 2 miles and some competition for the lead. He just got bored yesterday and still won easily when woken up.

lucky,cravat man lauding the student attendance yesterday as long as your spending and it keeps the gravy boat afloat these people will entertain anyone on a racecourse
Report impossible123 February 12, 2023 12:44 PM GMT
2/1 is certainly backable than prior. I agree a stronger run race plus the Cheltenham hill will play into his hand. Just the trainer I'm not keen on; too many excuses prior and after. Mr Hendo, just do your job - it's only a horse race!

acey "laughed" at this, three post after admitting he had booed as well!  Laugh
Well done acey - great banter.   Cool

Has it occurred to anyone that they might have been booing the jockey or trainer?
Report lead on February 12, 2023 1:56 PM GMT
The booing seemed to begin after Jonbon regained the lead...not that that really explains anythingConfused
Report impossible123 February 12, 2023 1:57 PM GMT
'sageform', indeed. The horse's connections are the ones to blame esp his trainer, for undercooking his fitness. Thank goodness detriment to his supporters (and punters) were averted this time.

I can remember clearly no big/top trainer (on the Flat) would run a possible superstar under-cooked in any prep race close to the main event; they would rather give them a spin of the racecourse.
Report Whippin Piccadilly February 12, 2023 2:38 PM GMT
Jonbon will absolutely bolt up in the Arkle, won't come off the bridle(Nap) He'll stride up the hill 10 clear with Coleman looking around for non existing dangers Cool
Report LoyalHoncho February 12, 2023 2:48 PM GMT
If he goes.  Let's be fair - the trainer is adept shall we say at pulling them out at the last minute.  Sad
Report Whippin Piccadilly February 12, 2023 3:00 PM GMT
He'll run Honcho. The Arkle has been the aim since day one.
Report LoyalHoncho February 12, 2023 3:02 PM GMT
And a bet ante with 365 ensures a stake return if he doesn;t.
Report sageform February 12, 2023 4:34 PM GMT
Surely the booing would be coming from those who had backed the other one and were given a moment of joy when it took the lead! Just like giving someone a tenner and then taking it back.

I was there and it was a PROPER BOO, 1998 Coral Hurdle. the only time I have heard such at Cheltenham…
And less than an hour earlier ONE MAN  had been roared home with untold joy in The Champion Chase.
