Can’t understand anyone who backed that novice chaser yesterday at odds on, baffled me.
I thought that. With the way his string are running, how anyone could think "never mind the crappy last few months, this one is a shoe in!" Is beyond me.
I have a feeling "The Great Man" will miraculously get a couple ‘ready’ to win at Cheltenham (there’s no one better apparently), and TAPK and others will be able to tell us how we don’t understand "the game".
‘The Game’ is apparently now serving up several months of dirge with underperforming racehorses before winning a race at Cheltenham. Brilliant!

Or running dire at Cheltenham before winning at Aintree.

Yep – a few March horses running in winter undoubtedly – but only a relative handful of the string will be being prepared for Cheltenham/Aintree, you’d expect the rest to be competitive so it does seem a worry. If it’s a virus he’ll be doing well to clear it up for March.
And More Of That is my nap in the TTF too!
Richard Hannon’s ex horse Sebastian Beach will win next time out.

That’s what AP told me moments after I had backed him at Exeter

Never underestimate the fickleness of the punter.
I have worked on Festival days blessed with the cream of racing and yet scarcely a bet was struck because the betting was open. Cue a 2/5 shot running a Sedgefield and the punters were swarming at the counter, like fleas at a dogs turd, to get on that "Good Thing"
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
And misery guts here was on!
The (long awaited) winner must have any amount in hand after running like a lunatic. An eventful ride for AP.
Some berk writing a comment on the

site underneath the report on Rose Revived’s win reckoned that she was the winner by default after the other riders had given her too much rope. Bunkum. Having gone virtually straight on at the final bend and nearly putting herself through the dolls close home, I’d agree with PC that she was a deceptively small-margin, very gifted winner (and of a well above-average mares’ bumper at that). With a more conventional passage up the straight, she’d probably still have mastered this lot, however prominently they were ridden.
A conspicuously above-par performance in the context of the yard’s prevailing malaise.

I concur – I can’t see how anyone can possibly come to that conclusion?
She did everything she could to throw the race away. I should think approaching the false straight all alone at 35mph, on a mare that clearly had her own ideas, AP didn’t know whether he was going for spell in the winning enclosure or the hospital. I think many a jock would have been beaten on the horse.
One winner and another beaten a SH , have they turned the corner ? I’ll be taking a bit more notice of his runners now

Actions speak louder than words PC.It was always going to happen.

,8’s and 40’s in running.

,14’s into 8’s,its all part of the game.
As always seems to happen when you point out somebody is totally out of form, the floodgates open about five minutes afterwards.
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
