    Couldnt see an existing thread?

    Anyway i have backed kala conti to tear Kitzbuhel a new one.

    Looks to be some depth to beating kargese and jade be grugy.

    Think the favourite looked a real kempton specialist bowling around there on good ground, think this will be totally different.

    I reckon Sixmilebridge can give the front 2 a scare , I was at Ayr when he won and jumped really well , think he’s to big so played

    Lovely jubbly , Townsend having a mare , the winner is a really good jumper , it’ll be a good horse that beats him at the festival

    Another balls up from Townend in a big race.

    I’ve always been a fan of his but he’s been hugely underpar in the big races this season.

    Should’ve been a lot more positive on the proven stayer of the race.

    Nice going HDLG, I reckon your horse would have won even if
    Townend had managed to stay in the plate. Well done :good:

    I’ve mentioned this before and I’m very likely in the minority,
    but I’ve never really liked Townend as a jockey.I know that may
    sound kind of stupid considering he’s been leading jockey 7 times
    and leading jockey at Cheltenham 5 times, but then he is the No.1
    jockey for Willie Mullins and anyone who is the No.1 jockey for
    Mullins is going to be the top jock in Ireland. No harm to the man
    but that’s the way I see it. Mind you, I was never a big fan of McCoy
    either. Maybe I’m just hard to please :unsure:

    I was never a fan of McCoy or Walsh however Walsh is excellent on ITV.

    The more I know the less I understand.

    Next Years Good Cup winner …. That you deserted Gaelic , to be fair it’s about time , back to point this horse will get plenty into trouble with his jumping , I still love Derryhasen Paddy and can’t wait to see him

    “I was never a fan of McCoy or Walsh however Walsh is excellent on ITV.”

    I was a huge fan of both as jockeys but don’t like either on tv lol.

    McCoy is dull as dishwater and Ruby is a know all. He spends too much time going into every minute detail trying to make himself look a genius.
    He talks some sh*t if you ask me.

    I’d take Geraghty over both on tv any day.

    McCoy as I’ve said prev is a mannequin , nothing of any interest is said , I think I’ve mentioned it but about 6/7 years ago I watched a Cheltenham preview online , both AP and Ruby were on it , the guy compering was opening and they didn’t realise there mikes were on , they were both being cnuts … Bowen just in the last couple of weeks said he realised he couldn’t be as miserable as AP when riding , that he has to smile …..

    Its all price dependant on Gaelic Warrior if I abandon him or not for next year
    33’s was too big for this year for example but he might be 1/1 after he wins it for next year
