    Wouldn’t be worried at all Vautour…Mark Walsh is every bit the pilot BG is.

    Demi Sang needs to jump better but the trip might help as the just got up last time….for all i wasn’t taken with him at all.

    Well done Golden Miller, and I think Charlie might have bet him too :good:
    No point pretending I’m not gutted with Rather Be, I had him marked
    down as my best bet of the day. I was almost pushing him over the
    line…..that was painful :wacko:

    Had Rocklander EW 28-1; one of the best jumping performances I’ve seen, so quick away from his fences, just failed to last home

    Not a bad day 1 overall for me, but it could have been a lot better with both Shantou Flyer and Rather Be just beaten on the line. At least some EW money, but still …

    Yet another cracking renewal of this race, with plenty to take out of it.

    Well done Chris, topped off a nice day for you, and well done Viktors and Charlie too.

    Thanks Bobby, Mike’s (TBB) speed figures for Day 1 make interesting reading. The times worse once the tracks had had runners over them but still Bouveur D’Air and especially Apple’s Jade ran well below form. The Ultima was dreadful – the better horses all ran poorly lol. And the last two races nothing special but they both used the chute where the ground was softest.
