Mullins and the Irish have the championship races by the bollix.
No idea how a phenomenal performance like that can be classed as an anti climax
Wot an oss somebody on here said bet like men I listened.
Indeed,MJK.
There are more lunatics on here than in Rampton

spring horse case couldn't be more obvious
Its time some on here started to distinguish between quality and quantity. Its possible to have both, and to be simultaneously apreciative of a horse's excellence in isolation and yet still be bored by the conveyor belt.
Ah yes, she won the gold cup & champion hurdle in the same year.
can't speak for others but the individuals I'm bored of
particularly after yesterday's whinging to the media

was hopeful we might get someone else in the limelight but no
hence I concur somewhat an anti climax for a race with that billing

Wonder , really sorry maybe the irish shouldn't come over next year and for a few more years, i can assure you this festival would simply disappear if the Irish didn't show..The DRF is starting to overtake Cheltenham for many British people , far to pricey for whats on offer . Dublin far cheaper and more fun plus more G1s than Chelters...
The only people who didn’t enjoy that were the ones who never saw how it’d been plotted to this day! 
Delbert's aftertime record is truly astounding.
Naturally,he didn't back it

if some trainers don't find the ground to be suitable to their horses then they are free to do as they see fit

Lots of sideshows here and sidetracking talking of pace etc…. It’s all misleading and there’s plenty of pocket talk.
As there was no Home Schooling on the Opening Show I’ll set you all some for today! Laugh
I recommend people watch back the Four Group 1’s from Sha Tin to see how viral race positioning IS.
In those races, Ka Ying Rising, Voyage Bubble and Romantic Warrior all jumped quickly and were able to sit and save energy throughout saving enough for the end. Yes they are class horses but the rides given made it so much easier for them.
That is what happened with the beautiful one yesterday, the ride was excellent, because of his smooth passage he was able to save enough despite his worst jump at the last.
The likes of Banbridge and Jango had their chances and came with their runs, they let down and flattened out because the winner saved having travelled best throughout.
With 5 to jump Gaelic & Jango were in line behind the Juke. At that fence Gaelic put in a big jump he was positioned well with a gap between The Juke and IEF but he lost that and more than a length + at the 4th fence with a low jump. That left Jango in clear third, Towened then had to sit behind The Juke turning as Hoiles said he applies some pressure to IEF as , “heads turn for home”.
At this point Jango has no excuse whilst Townend waited for the straight to regain the rail. The effort to get back on terms cost him [b]but he was staying on and looks an Chelt type to keep going up that hill and had his ears pricked as did the winner crossing the line.[/b]

And I backed it, let me know and all the others on the forum when you can let us know your thoughts before a race, not after when you’re looking to pick on anyone whose lost!
We all know that Delbert doesn't bet.
However,he still posts reams of C&P where he mentions nearly every runner.
As with Aceform I refuse to debate with the autistic,bullshatting cretin

Workrider. Don't be so chippy. It's nothing to do with being Irish. Domination by one yard, no matter who it is, detracts from the competitive human element that contributes to the spectacle. None of that detracts from appreciation of the horse.
The question is...is WM doing something other trainers are not?
Or is he simply receiving the best horses?
Or both?
