Well done Lemons and 50p
April 27, 2021 at 18:39 #1538213What a mare!! Sure she can have the kid and leave Walk in the Park to look after it while she goes and wins the gold cup
April 27, 2021 at 18:39 #1538214Thats put a cat amongst the pigeons. Monkfish made a horlicks at one fence and that was that.
April 27, 2021 at 18:39 #1538215Handicapper had it correct.
BUY THE SUN
April 27, 2021 at 18:39 #1538216Well wasn’t expecting that
Monkfish ran like a horse who’d had a very hard season
And Envoi hasnt gone a yard
April 27, 2021 at 18:41 #1538217WD Lemons and FiftyP, hope Precious Bounty rounds off your good tipping day
April 27, 2021 at 18:42 #1538218All these Mares only races are just not neccessary, clearly.
BUY THE SUN
April 27, 2021 at 18:44 #1538219Or does the rise of the mares since they were introduced prove they are necessary?
Since it keeps them on the racetrack not straight to the breeding sheds
April 27, 2021 at 18:46 #1538221Hope Envoi is OK , Jack only way we will know about CPS and Cheltenham is when ho goes back next year
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
April 27, 2021 at 18:46 #1538222Yeah you can’t tell the Honeysuckles and Colreevys from the rest to begin with so mares races are a nice introduction.

April 27, 2021 at 19:14 #1538229Hope Youcannotbeserious is OK, that cartwheel off the bank was spectacularly hideous poor lad.
April 27, 2021 at 19:18 #1538231Yes, horrendous fall, he did get up, just hoping he is ok.
Worrying how many horses are slipping on the flat too, seems ground has gone dicey with the bit of rain they’ve had.April 27, 2021 at 19:21 #1538232Maybe Monkfish ahs had a long season, but still a bit disappointing. EA also a lot to prove, never seemd to be travelling well after the first mistake.
April 27, 2021 at 19:43 #1538235The handicapper doesn’t always get them right, but he had Colreevy winning this race. Maybe its not so much about finding excuses for the geldings.

April 27, 2021 at 19:50 #1538238Cannot really have this idea that Monkfish has had a hard season. His three races before Cheltenham were all won easily. It looked to me he just found one too good for him.
April 27, 2021 at 20:14 #1538240Monkfish all but unseated. We won’t find out but i’d be happy to say Monkfish is the better horse. Back left handed next season he’ll be grand. Need to watch it back but don’t think he was 100% fluent all race and he’s clearly better than that IMO.
Envoi back to the drawing board.
Colreevy game as you like. Superb mare.
