HUKUM. Never yet won a penny on this horse but, in fairness, it did break a leg.
I hate to admit I cannot warm to Jim Crowley yet I have to say 7/1 is double the price I would expect.

If it finishes in front of Ace Impact i will show my arse in Tescos.

By:
7/2 ???
How do you have him at the price? |
|
By:
Awful draw, but does Jim have the balls to do what Dettori did on Golden Horn from stall 14 and stay wide first 4 furlongs and then slot in?

WESTOVER EASY PEASY

I think unless a 3yr old wins this ARC will be forgotten the next day. I cannot see any other winner be remembered as fondly as Sea The Stars, Treve or Enable or Golden Horn.

Hukum V Westover hardly Grundy V Bustino ffs.
 |
|
By:
A moderate King George imo.
|
|
By:
Not sure, impossible.
In the 30 odd runnings of the Arc I have witnessed, I don't think the performance of the 4 year old Sakhee has been bettered personally. |
|
By:
Then go on to be nosed out of the Breeders Cup Classic cemented his class.
|
|
By:
Well I have not backed Hukum yet. You lot have got me wavering now..
|
|
By:
I'm not familiar with Sakhee except he was a Godolphin horse. Post googling I gather he was 2nd to Sinndar (an ARC winner) at Epsom. Found and Golden Horn also won the ARC but were defeated in America; the latter post a massive deluge before the race.
But, I do not think there's a Sakhee amongst the older generation here unless Hukum turns out to be a late developer. The rest are much of a muchness, I'd confidently predict. |

By:
Feed the Flame, c&d winner, drawn low, Soumi up, fingers xd although I'll have to back Westover, too. GL all
|
|
By:
Sakhee tried and almost landed the greatest of doubles.
Not sure how you can not be familiar with him. |
|
By:
I was not into horseracing diligently then. I was mainly into big races eg The Derby, etc. Maybe Sakhee did not win anything major as a 3 yr old.
I remember backing Sinndar at Epsom (a tip), and Sinndar won the ARC the same year; Sakhee won a sub-standard ARC perhaps a year later. |
|
By:
Sakhee was well beaten by Sinndar at Epsom..but,then again Sinndar was one of the most under-rated Derby and Arc winners imo...Sakhee was with John Dunlop at 3 then moved to Godolphin at 4 I think
|
|
By:
I would go further lead on and say sinndar was one of the most underrated horses of all time.
|
|
By:
As a 3 year old sakhee did the sandown york route winning both before runner up in the derby he was a very good horse
|
|
By:
If it wasn’t for sinndar he would have won the derby by 5 lengths
|
|
By:
Also won the judmonte by 7 lengths surprised you don’t remember him impossible

Beaten a nose by tiznow in the breeders cup not that I rate that nonsense

dancing brave best winner I've seen
|
|
By:
Yes me too Nutty.
|
|
By:
Obviously dancing brave was the best but on the day I thought pentire celebre was very good
|
|
By:
I liked DETROIT, a much earlier Khallid Abdullah winner
|
|
By:
Sangsters I think shood
|
|
By:
Although pat was on board
|
|
By:
Alleged was rather good.
|
|
By:
'jimnast', I did not because Sakhee was annihilated in the Eclipse. But, I agree with others Dancing Brave was very good beating Bering - another exceptional horse.
|
|
By:
Might have gone unbeaten but for a poor ride in the Leger, not Lesters greatest moment.
|
|
By:
Well then impossible that makes him not a very good horse then.
|
|
By:
Surely sea bird was best arc winner.
Maybe Frankel could have challenged that. Hookum looks to be a decent horse, we could find out he is decent, if he wins today. |
|
By:
Not to mention Tryptich and Sharastani in behind.
|
|
By:
Tiger if he had have won the st leger the silver jubilee celebrations might not have been so good
|
|
By:
That going looks quick enough, should suit the Japanese runner.
|
|
By:
I agree jimnast, it was fab for Dunfermline to win for Her Majesty, Alleged soon got revenge though.
|
|
By:
I think of all the horses the greatest trainer of all time had his best achievement was winning the 2nd arc tiger.
|
|
By:
That was magical jimnast. Lets forget about Enable either though, another great winner of this race.
|
|
By:
Tiger there’s been so many great winners I’m not a lover of arc weekend but I enjoy the arc it’s almost always unmissable
Unbelievable they just shown alleged of channel 4 |
|
By:
Montjeu was the greatest. Well, my greatest
