    Can’t believe it; arrived late to watch this, saw Politologue at 11-1, thought he’d be ~5-1, too late to get a bet on; his win was therefore inevitable

    What a lovely horse he is…delighted he got the W today,just a shame he hates Cheltenham!

    If you could show someone how a horse should jump a fence,you would show a video of this lad.

    Crazy race for me too. (Excuse the aftertiming)…
    Originally wanted to be with Politologue as I don’t think he likes the atmosphere at the Cheltenham Festival and should’ve won here last year after disappointing in the JLT. Backed him @ 15/2 the night before. However, after the rain didn’t think he’d settle enough to stay the trip on very soft… So laid most of it back @ 11/1. But somehow I’d missed the headgear!!! Quickly got on to betfair. Seeing how he settled early and just as importantly (in contrast) Min being quite free. Had to back Politologue in running @ rates between 11/1 and 17/1… Wish I hadn’t I bottled it again and laid a little back @ 3/1. :whistle:
