    The only way Vautour doesn’t win is if he is indeed well short of what he was last year – and he didn’t look short of anything when they showed him on CH4 this morning.

    The other is if Ruby falls off.

    It’ll be acutely painful watching for me, but I cannot see how he doesn’t win this easily

    BTW, to add to the pain, I had a good few quid on RtR at 12s :(

    Wonderful performance from Vautour but leaves a bad taste in the mouth. I just hope anyone but Djakadam wins the Gold Cup tomorrow.

    Still have doubts about The Ryanair; Vautour was spectacular, but 1st 3 really should have been taking their chance in the big one.

    I have to agree Patriot it does leave a bad taste in the mouth although it was a wonderful performance.

    Currently I am Mr Angry from Purley (even though I live in Barnsley) for those of you who are old enough to remember Steve Wright in the afternoon.
    The farce of a start in the first race!
    Then If In Doubt gets hampered left right and centre to do me out of the exacta in the second!
    Then Vautour wins a race that the owner said he wouldn’t run in !!

    Time to lay down in a darkened room methinks!! :negative: :negative: :negative: :negative:

    Ricci’s post-race comments interesting ‘They insisted he wasn’t working well’

    Much more likely is Ruby and Willie thought they’d rather have 2 winners than 1. As I said elsewhere, Trainer’s brother said a week ago Vautour was Ryanair-bound

    Totally agree. Instead of seeing the best take on the best Mullins keeps all his horses apart. How do we attract new people to the sport if they’re not going to see the champions take each other on?

    Totally agree Joe.
    They’re only making things worse with this ….
