El Fabiolo helped the winner. Badly backfired on Willie. Lossiemouth looked uncomfortable from the start and jumped like a novice. She did well to be there with a chance at the second last.
Zero effort by Cobden last 2 races, easily could have got the 3rd on Anzadam but couldn't be bothered. He is exactly like Ryan Moore, lethal if you want him to place.
race went perfectly for him too...keenish but settle better than lto for big jockey upgrade etc
Deflecting from what? I lost on the race. Was definitely wobbling when bda was touching 4-1 but left it in the end. My approach was to take on Lossie primarily.
I think we gathered that cider but desperate to mention the 3rd without the acknowledgement?
Both mares rated 159. Both in top form. One is 4-6 the other 11-4. Basic mathematics tells you what should have been done.
Acknowledgement of what? I stated that I included Poni as the jockey is a master at picking up the pieces. Which he did again.
after christmas race I thought form likely be reversed but gordon's not running as well drift etc a concern
plus el fabiolo obv used to spoil
I think 4/11 coupled v fair to lay albeit a loser

I acknowledge that you're an idiot. Since you aftertimed betting MN at 2-1, then failed to acknowledge he was stuffed out of camera shot lol
So before the race I acknowledged backing MN @ 2/1 is after time is it cider? Little wonder plenty question your sanity about conspiracies?
How can a pre race acknowledgement be after time? LOL
Claiming you got a price that is no longer available is aftertiming. It falling out of the back of the tv during the subsequent race is karma ;)
Great to see Sean Bowen picking up some decent rides over there.
His talent starting to be recognised by Irish trainers.
Still surprised JP didn't opt for him.

Bet placed 2042 hrs 31/01/2026 £44 win @ 2/1 Hills cider. Would you like an even ton for a photo of the bet?
Whether the bet is real, or a figment of your wild imagination, claiming it when it's no longer available is aftertiming. Would you like the words in a different language? Order?
Carry on digging cider, all I did was answer the OP and said my only bet to date was MN @ 2/1 and that I could not back it at the current price but you say my wild imagination etc? Fine if you have the guts to bet an even ton and I will prove it is fact?
How many of your clients are still solvent and not in HMP cider?
Have you just come on this thread to stalk me, Cag? I don't think you wear losing very well, and practice is not helping.

You seem to have inflated your importance again cider, do you see any mention of you before my post?
You mentioned me, I had to point out your flaws again (hypocrisy). It's just going to bore the tiits off of everyone else, so mebbe give it a rest. I think you got a little too excited that my second position noted on the thread lost, and it got the better of you. Unfortunately, I have plenty of losing races, so it's nothing new 
Nothing you post bothers me cider, get that right please? It is when you get into meltdown mode that stands out when claiming your fantasy profession to back up your claims when they fall apart that prompts me to comment!! HTH
Just don't bother mentioning me or replying to anything I right. It's very easy. I'm happy to embarrass you on an ongoing basis, but it's tedious for everyone else, I'm assuming.
They are more interested in the bumper.

Well done cider. a strategic exit to avoid confronting your con!!
Wonderful Everyday £86 @ 3/1 B365 cider, after time iyo?
Slightly more amicable interview between Willie and Fran Berry on Sporting Life TV!

Backed Manhe Tout last night. Think Gordon could have a decent enough day as well.
Must admit the meeting has been a watching brief tbh…..Cheltenham the main….
Yeah yesterday a couple of my bets were just for the sake of it tbh.
A serious performance from Doctor Steinberg considering how keen he was
Glen having yet another row with someone.......absolute clown
Very impressive. Though surprised Jack allowed it to be a 3f race. In hindsight his main job seemed to be to settle his horse as number one priority and see what happens. The winner has quickened all the way up the straight to be fair to him. Another one Mark Walsh thought would be better making the running.

Thought the runner up was the interesting one there. First run for the stable, went odds on in running (somehow), looked green / awkward but should be much better suited by a typically-run Triumph.
Interesting listening to Elliott there. He definitely sounded as though we'll never see Romeo over 2M again. Fantastic race. The winner has definitely idled up the run in, though it may have been also a case as Elliott hinted that Jack thought he had the job done.
all of a sudden it sees an extended 3 miles out
Mark Walsh riding like a man possessed.
Where has this Mark Walsh been these last few seasons?

Pretty much any upper tier jockey would have won on his winners at the meeting
well that turned out fantasticaly wierd ,FOF put up by value + on sat at 8,s,put up agains yesterday for todays race at 10,s and wins at 9 to 2,
Took keen hold, towards rear but in touch with leaders, not fluent 5 out, no extra from 3 out
Certainly stayed better than Kempton Won , Comedy imo
All we need is Horses for courses and sun on his back for thinking in the gold cup to finnish the sport off

Cobden will do well to emulate Walsh particularly around the Irish tracks which take a bit of getting used to,can't help but feel Walsh was involved in the decision by probably signaling retirement but who knows.
keen & more towards the inner...unless sectionals come back crazy was impossible for the winner to do that
every run ftf has had in open company it hasn't seen out extended 3 miles well, even john durkan over shorter didn't
You can't tell me Harry would have got beat on that lol.
Just coincidence that some of the JP 'stars' turned up at this meeting. Somehow predicted by the market, not that unusual with these silks

Same with Spillanes Tower the other day, springs back to life with the application of cash.
been money for spillanes tower every run this ssn
back over fences & stretching out in trip made sense with him
this bs today much harder to explain

Nope, pretty sure it was a huge drifter when it was a handicap 'good thing' back over hurdles.
maybe they went too hard AF drop right away GDC normally run to the line ok grovel 3rd...we'll see

punchestown?

May well be so. But doubt Cobden would have insisted on leading on two of them, against what Willie thought, leading to much improved performances.

Who knows MJK. Cobden doesn't need any help with tactics. But who actually decides what happens with the JP mob, does anyone know?
Fact is that all of his winners have had pounds in hand.

Talking of horses springing back to form from nowhere...Henry de Bromhead no winners for 25 days.
Will he recover in time for Cheltenham?

Good jockey,Walsh.
Would he have retired himself from the JP gig?
It's a top retainer at the end of the day.

Like wsb stated, it was far from certain FTF would have seen out this course and distance so well in the conditions. Regardless of the tactics. Someone was very confident that it would be a going day for him.
I definitely wouldn't have been confident in FTF staying in that ground, yet afterwards Mark Walsh seemed to suggest the ground may have helped. It's interesting looking back that the first two home were what many would have considered as the speed horses in the race, compared to the out and out stayers.
Presumably there's some chance FTF will be supplemented for the GC (given that he's gone from 3 to 5 on here for the Ryanair)
Kargese/Townend. Anyone else dubious about the merit ( or otherwise ) of Townend pulling out wide and right across to the near rail ( as we viewed ). Lost much of his advantage in doing so. Surely would have won otherwise?
Two very good horses. Both entered at Cheltenham - hope they both go.

You cannot be anything but impressed with Fact To File, travelled, jumped, stayed, just very impressive, certainty for the Ryanair but at his age this has to be the time to take on the Gold Cup, as someone who has Haiti Coleurs and Grey Dawning at prices I actually feel more enthused about their chances after the Irish Gold Cup, it should also not be underestimated just how hard a race lots of horses have had at this meeting and that could leave a scar come the big days at the festival.
Could, should, would. I think we seasoned race-watchers know all that but thanks for the refresher.
Yes, I was impressed with Fact To File who may have again improved a bit and looks very good for the Ryanair double. If he goes. However I think his form is so good they’ll have to have a go at the Gold Cup, whether the trip is a doubt or not.
Not often we see two past National winners entered for same - Maximus and Rockett.

Very Interesting on Saturday when Haiti Coleurs takes on Jango Baie, not sure that the 2m7f is what Haiti wants but just need a good prep for the big one.
I was impressed by Jango Baie at Kempton. Recovered from a shuddering early error and stayed on well enough. Hoping for a good, more settled run. Will they be tempted by the Gold Cup do you think? I would give him another year personally.
Jango Baie is favourite for the gold cup and will go for sure unless something happens at Newbury on Saturday, I think he is very poor value and always has been with so much yet to prove, remember in the King George four horses went past virtually together which casts doubt on that form, he may well win on Saturday with his extra bit of toe doing Haiti, its going to be a small field with just these two who can win it so a tactical cat and mouse race which wont tell us much.
KG steadily run & on borderline g/f...almost certainly that track & set up didn't play to JB's strengths
7yo with festival novice form over shorter nice profile
if bowen was to ride probably 7/2fav

I didn’t know that. The news stuns me. Does have good course form in the book. Fact To File would need supplemented I believe. Gaelic Warrior is another with a doubt on stamina.
