RSA Chase 2010

[The Ante-Post King]

This years RSA is fast becoming a disaster for me,i have lost on Mikael and now Weird Al! Diamond Harry and Long Run will only recoup losses should they win,which is a small consolation! TAPK is a great believer in "playing safe",but on this occassion that philosophy has gone out the window as i have had £100 e/w on

Weapons Amnesty

at 10/1! Never surrender!

This race has had Disaster written all over it for me all year!
Keeping the faith pays when you spot a good one!

Was interesting to hear John Francome assuring all Long Run backers he’d done nothing wrong as he whacked nearly every fence.

dont think there was any pace in this race at all, in my opinion he should of set the pace himself.

Was interesting to hear John Francome assuring all Long Run backers he’d done nothing wrong as he whacked nearly every fence.

He hit two fences – the horse never looks like falling which would be the main concern.

Long Run travels too well and pulled hard, they didn’t go fast enough for him and he was done coming down to the last.

The winner looks a proper Cheltenham horse though 2/2 there now

Quoting yourself in posts isn’t as bad as after timing, but it’s in the same ballpark.

Is there any news on WA’s wellbeing after the race? I think the jockey said he wasn’t right when he pulled up and I thought he looked a little sore. Hope he’s ok and all four legs are in good nick.

Weapon’s Amnesty has been touted as a potential Gold Cup horse next season and I’ve heard one quote of 10/1. In my opinion, I think that’s terrible value and would be very surprised to see him progress to that level, likable as he is. He clearly likes Cheltenham and stays very well,

but I’d be more interested in Burton Port as a novice stepping up next season and challenging in that sphere.

Best prices for novice chasers in 2011 Gold Cup:

WEAPON’S AMNESTY 12/1
PUNCHESTOWNS 16/1
BURTON PORT 20/1
LONG RUN 20/1
DIAMOND HARRY 25/1
PANDORAMA 25/1
SOMERSBY 25/1
WEIRD AL 25/1

I think Burton Port will emerge as the leading second season candidate. He jumps soundly and stayed on really well up the hill. Connections will surely have him ridden with more confidence next season.

He clearly goes to Aintree with a big chance in the Mildmay Novices’ Chase.

Next stop – Newbury.

Burton Port will never reverse form with a fully fit Weapon’s Amnesty over around Cheltenham. (imo )
