I’m on Vauban today. If he settles and jumps soundly I’m confident he’ll be there or thereabouts at the death, and in a perfect world staying-on past all of them
March 14, 2023 at 15:11 #1639125State Man’s only chance is if Constitution Hill was the finished article last year and SM has improved huge chunks, and if the battle hardening makes a difference.
My token bet is on Vauban 18-1 win only.
March 14, 2023 at 15:18 #1639131Constitution Hill
To win by TEN LENGTHS OR MORE
@ 3/1
As he is odds on this is a standout bet in my opinion.There is no need to have more than £5 on and sit back and enjoy the race.
The margin will most likely be shorter but 3/1 couldn’t be missed.
Lowest turnout for this race in living memory.
There were 8 runners in 2011 but that was the smallest I could find, always had a decent turnout.March 14, 2023 at 15:19 #1639132Hmm, wonder how much I’d get back if I key Constitution Hill at 1/9 for an exacta over ALL…
March 14, 2023 at 15:27 #1639135Bahaha, $6 on 1 / 2,3,4,5,6,7, let’s go
March 14, 2023 at 15:35 #1639138Wow, made that look very easy
March 14, 2023 at 15:35 #1639140Poetry, congrats winners!!
March 14, 2023 at 15:36 #1639141Well that was a procession. Well done all on and trainer and jockey for keeping it simple and getting him right on the day
March 14, 2023 at 15:36 #1639142The. Best. Ever.
If anyone who thinks Night Nurse would have beaten this lad, I have the proverbial bridge to sell to them.
March 14, 2023 at 15:37 #1639143Better get 180+ for that
March 14, 2023 at 15:38 #1639145APEX PREDATOR!
March 14, 2023 at 15:39 #1639146Dare I say it was a bit boring? He’s great and it was the result I wanted to see with State Man pulling a long way clear of the rest but there was never a moment of drama and I need some drama, some intrigue in my sport. I don’t like watching one sided football or rugby games and I didn’t enjoy Frankel either before anyone asks. Its sport and it was very one sided. Fully appreciate he’s very good just isn’t for me.
March 14, 2023 at 15:40 #1639147“Better get 180+ for that”
Only 9 lengths from a 167 horse? ;o)
March 14, 2023 at 15:41 #1639148Nine lengths eased up a bit and Nico says ” he’s won hard held and anyone who backed him to win by ten lengths or more I apologise.”
No worries Nico, no need to knock em about when they have done so well..simply exceptional.March 14, 2023 at 15:47 #1639151LOL at Dave Nevison comparing him to Buveur D’air on RTV
March 14, 2023 at 15:48 #1639153A day to remember for the racegoers (and some of us) if Honeysuckle can win as well.
March 14, 2023 at 15:48 #1639154Good grief. That’s all really.
