Ruby Walsh greatest jump jockey of all time used to get alot of last fence/hurdle fallers so it's a case of miscommunication with the horse as a jockey may see a long one but the horse is tired and says I'm not gonna make it and puts in an extra short one .
It's just annoying as grey dawning is definitely the BEST horse in the race and harry misjudged and went for it just too soon |

Nobody think that GD didn't stay? He might get 3 miles on an easy track on good ground.

That was my feeling too, sageform
To be honest, I didn't especially fancy the horse in today's race, on that type of ground Not sure there's anything in his form to scream 'Gold Cup', or even that he's that special, while undoubtedly a highly likeable individual Certainly couldn't see him troubling the Irish contingent in a GC. The Ryanair would be a totally different matter, however |

No shame in defeat for Grey Dawning today, only just beaten by a course specialist that had also finished 5th and 6th in the Gold Cup. Still an up and coming type with more to come.

Take the Wnr away & he's spanked the rest.Thought that was a decent run
1ST time out.Can see him running a big race in the King George,if he goes to Kempton that is. |

Grey dawning bred by a horse that bred gold cup winners,plus its grandad on mums side bred,Mondale Santini,dour stayers.it shouldnt of failed to stay once in front.
Dosent look like it’s the great grey hope,royal pag isn’t the best ,won a poor 4 horse race last year. They d be better of going down the Ryanair route. |

Monalea,sorry.

even grey dawnings good jumps cost him ground,not slick enough over the fences to win a gold cup imo,jumps them more like a showjumper imo
