You are an absolute cretin,Aceform,who should have been strangled at birth.
Only the dire liquidity at the value price prevented me doing a chunk,Rico Minus a paltry £600 on the race and delighted to do so. |

The "run" of il etait temps needs investigating. An 8 year old at the peak of his powers looked beaten after a few strides. Took an age to get up after a knackered fall. Too many mullins horses doing this all season. Brown envelopes???

didnt have a bet but for example in the earlier msates whats the difference between
easy lead contested lead pressured from behind etc when yout in 1st place than when the 1st and 2nd favs in the mares race ,are eyeballing,each other,jivying each other along,etc in 3rd and 4th place throughout the entire 2 miles till in the straight,if they did that whilst in 1st and 2nd place,they,d have said it cost them race,didnt get a breather in,at each other all the trime,interchanging positions, on and off bridle etc etc |

Il Etait Temps took 13 runs and more than 2 year to achieve a rating above 160. He then ran 4 very good ones in a row but with hindsight is it still really a 160 horse? The 2 standout runs were when beating Jonbon who is still not a reliable yardstick in my book. I would still back Thistle Ask to beat todays opposition on a flat track. He just ran out of gas in the last furlong.

I was out and not involved today. Was he a superboost with 'Denise'? If so, I'd dodged a bullet. A mistake at the 2nd put paid to his run today. His price of 8/1 for the Champion Chase is tempting.

Mullins has form,I think Il Etait Temps wasn’t primed for the race,shoddy jumping from the off,seen the same from Galopin Des Champ
then when the big race comes a different animal arrives. |

Hendo quotes
"I thought his record of never being out of the first two was under serious threat today," said winning trainer Nicky Henderson. "I couldn't see how we could win, but they've gone a good gallop and I suppose that's what has helped him really. "We usually blitz it with him but they were going too fast for him today; but when a bit of bravery and a lot of stamina kicks in, you're back in the game. What would he know eh :) |
|
By:
taking the discussion a bit further on, I think Mullins thinks (2 leaps of views there) that Majborough is his best chance of the Champion. It is interesting that, despite 2 moderate efforts, Maj was still only 7's-ish b4 today. Now 5/1. I will no doubt be proven the fool I am, but I have a strong feeling Maj will be a different horse at DRF and Cheltenham. Just the bloody fences in the way......

Il Etait Temps looked very small when jumping at Cheltenham in the Arkle.
And again today looked small over the big fences at Ascot. Glad to see he got up OK. |

By:
jonbon 1.5-2l behind TA for most of the race hardly run off his feet
its only when they quicken turning in he's initially outpaced clearly wants further now |

By:

He never looked comfortable.
Surely you saw that? |

Correct, Wonders

temps beat jonbon 9L lto without being asked..today was beaten 3 out...we've seen it all before.

IET run was very similar to that of A Plus Tard in the Betfair a few years ago - beaten after a furlong.
Plenty of rumours about that but nothing ever came out officially.  |
|
By:
I thought fav travel ok jump a bit slow on the downhill fences got in tight to 2 out of swinley bottom
gets into contention 2l behind jumping 3 out looks the winner because normally runs on strong at the end but finds nothing & has a slow tired fall |

1.49 sp seen some mullins horses striped on here this ssn run deplorably although maybe could have been shorter certainly wasn't weak
|
|
By:
indeed Rico/Wonder. And kicked him into touch at Sandown. Then battered Gaelic Warrior at Punchestown. A poor run from a horse who normally does ok even when he gets beat. Odd today. I didn't play. 2m chase races comfortably my worst betting races. W shall see but I couldn't have for the CC.
|
|
By:
i had 2 bob on today..still thort would win 3 out..but was woeful.
|
|
By:
Odd on he was nobbled imo but we will never find out - racing has too much to lose.
A Plus Tard was never the same horse after Haydock so will be interesting to see if IET can bounce back. |
|
By:
we must be the same age-ish Rico. I use the unit of " a bob" to describe an interest. Also "a flabby". Or " a button".
|
|
By:
A top quality 8 year old in the form of his life should not be lying on the ground for nearly 10 minutes after an exhausted fall. It doesn't happen. Unless "they" did something untoward shall we say. Whatever they did it amounts to horse cruelty as he clearly wasn't able to run on it merits. Bearing in mind he would be in practically every docket up and down the land. Mmm....
|
|
By:
Hendo will have spoken to the jockey who rode the winner, and got feedback with regard to how the race went for him. Unlike sore odds against place lay losers on the betfair forum !
|
|
By:
Ground looked very soft and sticky, which clearly affected his jumping. Assuming the horse is ok I'd give the fav another go against the first two at Cheltenham.
|
|
By:
4 secs slow against rp standard.
|
|
By:
chase track has been quicker than described for most recent meetings @ ascot
|
|
By:
no worse than g/s today hurdle course a bit softer
|
|
By:
Considering people are commenting on how fast the leader was going and they were still slower than standard I would suggest the ground was softer than described. I would also suggest that was the reason Jonbon was able to catch the leader. However we'll never know if thats the case.
