<br>There’s no doubting that Mighty Man is a very good horse but I’ve never really thought that he is absolutely top-notch.
BJK was cantering on him at Aintree until finding absolutely nothing off the bridle and I think MM just lacks that touch of class which Brave Inca possesses.
If BI hasn’t gone OTT and he stays, I think he’ll win.
April 26, 2007 at 09:45 #54460In the 2-50 The La Touche Cup I have backed Spot The Difference with betfair.<br>This is not a handicap but this horse will be giving away a stone in weight to most of the rivals, however his recent Cheltenham form when running off top weight is vastly superior to any of the others today.<br>This could well be his last race and the Irish will probably be all be wanting to be on this one today and there wont be much value however this is still the one they all have to beat.<br>I cant see much to put anyone off except the price.
April 26, 2007 at 11:52 #54461Hello,
I fancy, Ille De BOTROIN in that race Seagull.<br>Each way chance on it’s average form :)

April 26, 2007 at 12:17 #54462Im on Mighty Man, somebody make me feel more confident than I do at the mo! Is he gonna do it?
April 26, 2007 at 12:32 #54463i will be very suprised if he doesnt chris. the only concern for me is its fairly quick after aintree and some horses havent run very well coming to punchestown after aintree this season. I dont think brave inca will travel or stay well enough to trouble him
April 26, 2007 at 12:36 #54464Chris…I’ve gone for Brave Inca but I’m a mug punter and betting with my heart…so you should be Ok :biggrin: ÂÂÂ

Thanks Dave, an ur goin with ur heart Pompete, but I was very drunk last night when I placed my bet online so mine aint exactly the best thought out bet either ha ha.
April 26, 2007 at 15:23 #54466Im more confident with Brave Inca staying than Essex, but both are huge dangers to mighty man. I fancy refinement to run very well also. I wouldnt be surprised to see some of these ott.
You would have to be worried about the way HE managed to completely outpace Mighty Man earlier in the season if you have backed the latter.

April 26, 2007 at 15:52 #54467Cannot believe that, 2 to jump an Mighty Man just started shaking his head an Richard Johnson pulled him up, I had 500 quid on him :(
April 26, 2007 at 15:55 #54468oh dear. Hope he is alright. I assume he has broken down.
I knew refinement would run well on this ground.

April 26, 2007 at 15:55 #54469I’m having one of those weeks. Aces Four falls at the last when infront now Mighty Man breaks down when he would surely have hacked up otherwise. What makes it worse is I don’t normally back anything under 2/1 but these two looked liked they couldn’t possibly get beaten baring acts of god. Guess what, yep, the gods conspire against me. :angry:
On a far more serious note though lets hope Mighty Man is Ok that looked really nasty I’d rather see a horse fall than just break down like that. Fingers crossed he lives to fight another day.
April 26, 2007 at 15:56 #54470looked in a bad way to me Chris.

<br>I feel for you mate. I toyed with Another Promise myself and I’ve done some serious dough this week. Get beaten fair enough but its hard to swallow when freak things lose youyour money. Still thats racing and how ever much it p**s
es you off (and boy it does) I’d rather Mighty Man be Ok than someone give me my money back.April 26, 2007 at 16:04 #54473Quote: from Flash on 5:01 pm on April 26, 2007[br]
