Think the idea of a lay is which “current favourite” would you take on. If you dont have one then you don’t have one, its a N/A.
It don’t say per se, its just a reasonable assumption. Otherwise people may as well just put rags down as lays which takes little skill.
You guys saying you can’t see a way how the race can pan out so that Santini wins? Seriously? Haha
If the race had been 25 yards further last year he’s infront ! You mean to say if they let the tape down 20 yards short of the tape line like they do some races that he wouldn’t have won? Think it’s pretty easy to see how Santini can win a gold cup but I’m not saying he will. Could quite easily have won last year with 20 more yards plus he had to switch out at the last fence costing some ground in a race that didn’t exploit his stamina.
But now there’s people saying if the race is run at a stronger pace he will be outpaced early on? So which one is it?
It was slowly run last year yet the ‘slow boat’ was finishing faster than al boum and the rest of them? So he can’t be that slow if he’s sprinting up the hill faster than them? And also others saying if it’s a strong gallop he gets outpaced in the middle part of the race. You can’t have it both ways. Either the strong pace will suit better or it wontFinishing faster than AL boum ….then why didn’t he win ?

Yes because thats not how it works
That wouldn’t make the distance from the last to the finishing line any longer
Yeah forget everything else I said and just focus on the tape thing lol. Sign of someone without a substantial argument. Pick the weakest thing I said and discount that rather than all the other points
Jason why did he lose the lead before the 2nd last ?

Mike- a lay is anything you want, doesnt have to be a favourite, not sure why picking him is a lay is wrong ? If lay santini all day long, i might on the day if hes there and is sitting sub 10/1
If they go slow its easy to hold a position
But when they quickened santini wasnt quick enough so didn’t win but placed
If they go an end to end gallop he won’t have the cruising speed to hold position but will stay on past beaten horses and likely place
Hes just too slow
And you can have it both ways Jaso
Hes just not quite classy enough
Reason lay monkfish is not very strong but just for thread, never layed a horse in my life just was of all the favourites think he may not be as bombproof as Envoi Allen and Shishkin.

HMS Slowtini is simply too slow to hold a position
