Peter Marsh 2021

[Cork All Star]

It is quite sad to see how much this race has declined. I suppose it reflects the shift in power in the NH game away from the north and to the south. Four Gold Cup winners (all northern trained) have won the race.

I used to go to Haydock a lot in the early 90s and fondly remember Twin Oaks lugging top weight to victory – and over the big old Haydock drop fences.

My all time favourite Jodami won it twice. I think his second win was his last victory.

[He Didnt Like Ground]

There’s nothing GC class in this , it’s more a national trial than a GC one now sadly

Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026

[Mike007]

Never in doubt. Cracking SP too.

[Cork All Star]

Yes, great SP. I suppose it would have been better for the form if Sam’s Adventure had stood up but I doubt he would have got too near to this lad. That Gold Cup entry does not look silly.

[Mike007]

Reading between the lines from Venetia’s interview i wouldnt be surprised if the Gold Cup was next.

[Cork All Star]

The bookies were clearly impressed. Best price 12/1. Only slighter bigger than the likes of A Plus Tard.

[DBRDBR]

Very impressive. I thought a 16 pounds rise would give him a clallenge, but he won easier then in his previsous runs. I suppose the Gold Cup will be next. I can only see him running in the National Hunt Chase if the ground will come up good.

[DBRDBR]

And surely we must have seen the winner of the Betfair Chase 2021.

[Venture to Cognac]

I think we just might have DBR

I’d rather have Bristol de Mai ew at 40s than RP at 12s. Or even 66s.

Yes; Silver Hallmark

One of the worst prices iv ever seen

He won a weak handicap in which his main rival didnt run and the other one fell

[Mike007]

Sams Adventure wouldnt have beaten him anyway imo. Without Sam Brown he had a class edge as i said in my preview. Hes not my pick for the Gold Cup but with a likely hike into the 160s Cheltenham handicaps are out of the equation.
Needs juice though by the look of it so a dry week wont help him.

[befair]

Allowing for the weak opposition, that was seriously impressive

[The Tatling Cheekily]

Would another stone have stopped him? I doubt it very much. Firmly in the Grade 1 staying picture.

BUY THE SUN
