Don't think he's a 2 miler, you could see he was just on the edge of going as fast as he was comfortable with, on better ground at the festival I'd expect him to be taken off of his feet, don't think he'll run in the Arkle now, and with Final Demands poor run yesterday the longer race is more appealing.

RC seemed to get tired in that ground. Assuming it doesn't leave a mark will take a look at it if running at Cheltenham.

I've been helping myself to the 20/1 on the Sportsbook for the longer race, that's massive IMO, he's single figures everywhere else, maybe WAR...whatever!!

If he doesn't run so be it.

Gordon still swaying towards the Arkle apparently as they dont think its a deep race this year. His interview immediately after the race wouldn't have suggested this. The owner though didnt seem as convinced that the horse should go for the longer race so maybe thats the reason. Interesting few days ahead.

Yeah it would seem so at this stage. Though Gordon definitely seemed straight after today's race to want to go for the longer race at Cheltenham either way.

he looks hard work but the run in big big idle up suggested he had loads left today...v encouraging for future targets

He was going as fast as he could there on heavy ground and it took him forever and a day to get past Irish Panther on decent ground, as foyles points out the Arkle is over even shorter on likely decent ground, whatever they call it, we've seen two pieces of evidence that at least suggests he'll be taken off his feet, jogging around in the longer race it's just a case of deciding whether he will stay or not as it's very likely he'll be too quick for those horses.

He's won the Drinmore over 20f, a race won practically entirely by staying horses and he was a little sticky early on in that race but the further they went the better he went and at the line was a very easy winner.

Very interesting post.  I admit most such obs. don’t instantly occur to me but they make perfect sense.
irons post about Venetia’s being very well handicapped as a result of the long, poor run of stable form, voiced on Racing TV by a co-commentator today.  They must read this forum!  Wink

They are only well handicapped if they recover their old form. They might but I won't be backing then any time soon.
