    That McCoy is rubbish isn’t he?
    Small race jockey.
    Can’t do the job in a big race.

    What more needs to be said. :wink:
    Great ride.
    Very impressive.

    Watch Binocular jump there, that is how a Champion Hurdler jumps.

    Fantastic hurdling, nice and fluent, and a great ride.

    So pleased to see Binocular win too, as a favourite of mine. I was on Medermit, who i think went too fast to try and keep up with Zaynar and Celestial Halo, and that cost him any chance in the finish.

    Yep, he wasn’t for me but that was mightily impressive…

    On a seperate note, that ground looks plenty fast enought, they were strung out like a washing line!

    Brilliant ride from McCoy and a much better effort in the saddle than we saw on stablemate Zaynar. Great to see a classy horse get the reward he deserved.

    Perfect ground!! That’s how it should be.

    Very sad to see the horse who was definitely out for the season win it. Doesn’t do our sport any favours at all. Ffs say he’s injured if you want, but don’t lead everyone up the garden path. Abysmal PR.

    Certainly is fast enough – i suspect there’s v.little ‘soft’ left in the going now.

    I said yday with the dry, sunny couple of days it would dry out fast.- no surprise.

    Nothing against Henderson, but its a good job Jim Bolger doesn’t train Binocular.

    And Binocular makes history – the first non-runner to win a championship race.

    I hope JP’s winnings justified Henderson’s handling of the situation.
