Clumsy rider.

That was my take on it, they all fell in a hole after 2 out

He managed to deck Constitution Hill and nearly Jonbon there...

horse has never been a consistently fluent jumper good ground cheltenham badly exposed
and yes general terms I agree nico is past it awful ego on him too |
|
By:
Jonbon nicking second was apt, remains a bridesmaid on the real big day.

I'm his biggest critic but...maybe the horse just doesn't like that track? Another horse who's uncomfortable when not up with the pace. The start didn't help.

Same riding technique as John Wayne.

big muff
complete idiot with a hairy fanny. |

By:
Quite a few chances spoiled at the start so far this meeting, how many re starts have there been? Too many for sure.
|
|
By:
The start was an absolute joke, another anti climax of a championship race this week, why not do a proper running start.
|
|
By:
Nico not the sharpest tool in the box, Start really hindred him.
|
|
By:
Just say it as you see it. He's a liability. He still rides like he's out pointing. Did he really need to ask it for a big jump?
I backed the winner & laid Jonbon so no money talking here |
|
By:
Horse was on the back foot like a couple of the others behind when the tape went up so maybe the starter should share the blame for the start.
Absolute shambles for fav backers the whole way round as Nico attempted to get competitive. Maybe Nico was asking too much but the horse did nothing at the fence where it almost came down. |
|
By:
Start mucked his plans up and then made a slight mistake at the 2nd, was just niggling away on him then as he wanted to be where Quilixios was. Went for a big one and didn't get it.
Didn't need the big one imo |
|
By:
I haven’t heard him tell Paddy Brennan to stick it where the sun don’t shine this week. Maybe Nico will be hearing that from Hendo tonight. He wasn’t a happy teddy in the stands.
|

By:
Had no choice but to ask for a long one if he had not JBon would have been in at the bottom of it.
|
|
By:
he asked it to jump and it put down..its travelling at 40mph..theres no room to stop and decide...it decided no, another stride.
|
|
By:
Nico just said there was a stride there, freeze the frame at the point Nico asked the horse to take off from......miles away!!!!
|
|
By:
blaming the tape under horses nose,if he didn't like it should have took horse back and trust the starter but he was never getting in front of solness and others had also decided to go forward so was always going to be firing jonbon at the fences if he wanted to be up with pace,a better jockey might have took his medicine and let them get on with it
|
|
By:
I actually thought the idiot starter was going to make them come in again, but he caught half of them on the hop and dropped the flag! PATHETIC!

reminded me of nordance prince fall years ago, that was when the fences had to be respected tho

Always so many nico knockers... Yet the people whose opinion is worth listening to - Ruby , Ap, Nicky H, all rave about how good he is. I know whose opinion I listen to.
Yes, he might not be the most stylish in a race , but there's a lot more that goes into a race than sitting pretty on a horse with your bum up in the air. 99 times out a hundred he is in the right place in a race and he presents a horse nicely at a fence and having a horse jump efficiently is one of the main criteria to winning races. That and having a horse in a winning position , which he does time and time again. Sure he's not perfect , no one is, but he is generally consistent and makes a lot less howlers than most of his contempories. One of the main things a trainer looks for in a big race is a jockey who doesn't get nerves and he is as calm as you like. And I see the irony of saying about him presenting a horse nicely at a fence , with CH hitting the deck yesterday and jonbon making a howler today, but these things happen as they are part and parcel of jump racing. . |

 I had to work it out for a second , very good. |

Imo Ruby was spot on about the champion chase start
|
|
By:
Clumsy individual tbh
|
|
By:
It has been freakish, just how many fancied horses have jumped so badly...
|
|
By:
Yes aberdonia, after the champion hurdle yesterday I would have thought cheltenham favs had used up about 10 years worth of bad luck..
Let alone seven barrows after the nightmare last Cheltenham you'd have thought they deserved a change of luck. But lady luck seems to have it in for short priced jollies this time around. |

CH & jonbon bad jumping isn't bad luck they both have it in their locker
