    “Going went against Edwardstone”

    Has won on soft and heavy. A bit better ground might’ve suited a bit better but flat run from him.

    Total no-show from Edwardstone, which is most unlike him.

    Edwardstone had that setback with his hoof last month, maybe that affected him.

    It was a bit like last year. The winner won well but his main market rival was beaten after about two fences.

    Not against the Mullins Soft going monster
    was put under immense pressure by the way Energumene was travelling

    Looks like you need a staying 2 miler to win in that ground; and Enugermene is that. But another Champion chase to fall apart…

    Change in tactics change in fortune

    He’s a relentless front running galloper

    Doesn’t have a turn of foot, has huge cruising speed and fast jumping

    Edwardstone couldn’t go the gallop

    Doesnt have a turn of foot? Id say thats a stretch FF, hes a very quick horse off a slow pace also, dont think hed get much further atall, hes extremely versatile and id say LTO was just what mullins said the issues were

    Top top horse. Doesn’t get the credit he deserves. Rain just made the win easier.

    Alan King post race…

    “I can’t blame the ground, because he’s gone on that before. His preparation, I promise you, I have not missed a beat the last month to six weeks. It just wasn’t him, he was never going.”

    The winner couldn’t have been any more impressive , Edwardstone was beaten after 2 fences

    Let me make it clear that I am not accusing anyone of any wrongdoing here, but…

    In 2022, there was a huge bet on Energumene in the Clarence House Chase; he gets beaten. Another huge bet in the Champion Chase and his main rival runs the worst race of his life.

    Copy and paste for 2023.

    I’m sure it’s just coincidence.

    Nicholls has just said on RTV that he thought Greaneteen “ran well yesterday”.

    Yes, he walked through the fence at the top of the hill and finished a distance behind the winner in third place.

    But he ran well. :wacko:

    I’m not implying anything; merely pointing out a coincidence.

    And I haven’t missed this year’s Clarence House.
