Got 2 placed so far so not going to complain , il etat temps did unbelievable to finish 3rd after jumping like that
Sometimes you just need to keep the faith Nathan , I couldn’t back him after last time but there’s not doubting he’s a very talented horse
I’d still have him as a Gold Cup horse but Willie thinks Fact to File is the one for that
I did get 25’s Gaelic for next years Champion Chase but quality of opposition and going should be much different
This horse is 6 years old so can still improveBlackbeard to conquer the World
Got on the winner at 5/2, decided to ignore his last run; not sure it’s a huge compliment to Fact To File, as it was obviously an off day. V impressive how he quickened from the last
“Nathan in Nirvana, Utopia, Dreamland.”
Got some money back on him
After backing him for

Stayers

King stand
The mastersBeing serious
Looked like he’s just started and as I suspected he might proved different class
Distance bet landed
Many made mention of GW behaviour in the paddack before his last race and you clearly couldn’t take his run that day at face value – he was a little on his toes today but I do think the hood worked well and I also think returning to hold up tactics (that was always used when he was hurdling) suited the horse much better.
I think the trip suited him given it was always likely to be very well run and he’s got a great engine. I heard Rory Delargy talking the other day about how he only jumps right when he’s under pressure/asked and we saw that today, straight as a gun until the last, able to get round on the bridle up to that point. You can probably run him over any trip provided he’s either making his own running or its well run but he’ll always jump right under pressure and that would be a concern in better company, didn’t look a great arkle behind him.
Love it FF91
Gaelic was so calm to post today whereas he bolted it down the last race
Blackbeard to conquer the World
Where you not worried before the off nathan? I thought he was boiling over again, i was nearly doing a rich ricci when he was walking around, couldnt look
As strong as i was on him at 10s, Far too short today, far too short. Couldnt be backing that peice
Looked like he did boil over to me, looked like Slade steel did too
Veins pumping out of him when he went to the practice fence
Would’ve cashed out if I could
Didn’t matter though
Was basically a 3 runner race in the end and all he had to do was beat matata and found a fifty
Which unsurprisingly he did on the snaff
No, I thought he was calm today, he’s always very buzzy before races. Leopardstown he was far, far worse
ITV were being over the top in the comments in the parade ring imo
Well done on the 10’s Ham, great price
I managed 4’s the other day with BetMGM and lumped on this morning at 9/4 aswell as a bit on any race a while ago I think was 11/4 but lost plenty on Stayers, Turners and a little on Browns…
Blackbeard to conquer the World
Worth noting he’s only 6 so still has time to decided to relax before a race you’d hope…
Blackbeard to conquer the World
Cheers nathan, was absolutely certain (i said on this thread) that he’d come here hence the price when turners looked the target, not sure i could have taken that price today as i was worried about FAF, no danger though.
Jumping was excellent, be really interested to see what they do with him, king george would be made for him IMO
No more experiments with PW Mullins aboard and no more races on heavy December ground. KG makes a lot of sense and Willie knows that. He’d love to win with him at Kempton and the Savill’s with GDC again.
