The whole point of ante post getting imo is to spot a horse at a big price that starts the race much shorter. That’s an achievement in itself. If it wins it’s a bonus. Years ago someone tipped me a horse called Diamond Tycoon for the Guineas. I backed it at 100/1 and it won a race at the start of the season and its price came in dramatically. Unfortunately it did nothing in the Guineas but I was still chuffed that I’d got it at 100’s.
Every cloud, Befair, and we have ~five months of peace before the next one emerges. Question is, where do we go with our superlatives? Listen, he’s like a tube of toothpaste?
If Sir Henry waxed lyrical over a horse it might peak my interest but now I take it with a pinch of salt.
The more I know the less I understand.
Aidan pretty much every year waxes lyrical about horse ‘x’ being something different or special or unlike anything we have had before to the point where it is now the boy who cried wolf syndrome. People just tend to roll their eyes now because you know a comment is coming
The reason people took serious note of Sir Henry’s comments was because he was never the type to wax lyrical of his horses at all and even with Frankel it was still guarded talk at best but even that was out of the norm for him.
Now he says he treated him like a God over winter and resulted in him being to fresh

Do we think the whole yard gathered in prayer every morning then put his cotton wool back on.
The more I know the less I understand.
He’s gone back to the top of the Derby betting based on the fact O’Brien did it last year with a Guineas flop and may do it again.
The more I know the less I understand.
Anyone who is absolutely sure he won’t win the Derby – you can lay him at 5/1 on Betfair…
More Troy mania from O’Brien in the RP update now
Hope he doesn’t get cold feet at Epsom
If I were him I wouldn’t be spouting all this after the Guineas debacle. Let the horse run and if he shows his apparent talent then feel free to wax lyrical.
The more I know the less I understand.
Oh boy here we go again with his crying wolf again with the praise………..problem is that if he does end up winning the Derby, the media are going to pretty much wet themselves falling over each other to heap praise on his training ability whilst conveniently ignoring what an absolute pig’s ear he made of training him for the 2000g.
