    Bad luck mate. Just plain unlucky that was, jumped the fence well enough.

    The forgotten horse wins Voy Por Ustedes.

    Can’t help feeling the race would’ve been made for Well Chief if he hadn’t fallen.

    Disappointment for me was Newmill.

    Much as i was pleased for VPU surely a anywhere near on form Well Chief would have accounted for Dempsey a lot easier than that?

    Is he going to end up being the best horse never to win this race?

    (i didnt have a bet…btw)

    But to be fair Danny you told me that Sporazene was a better jumper than Dempsey. So Sporazene would of won would it? I don’t think so LOL. Dempsey is a lovely jumper :)

    Just looking at the fall again it didn’t seem to jump it badly, it just landed a little funny. Would of liked to see Well Chief finish, convinced it would of won.

    All credit to VPU but, as was the case when Moscow Flyer unseated in this three years ago, the race lost a lot of its lustre and worth with Well Chief’s early exit.

    6.3M traded on Betfair of which 4.1M was on Well Chief.

    I don’t ever want to hear a bookie moan again after the first two days of this festival that includes Barry Dennis.

    Moscow Flyer would have beat that lot even at the age he’s at now how good did he look in the parade.

    thought ashley brook ran a cracker and seemed to be closing again before falling at the last. An unfortunate Well chief, but jumping is the name of the game. <br>i’m sure we’ll see at aintree or sandown how much ability he retains.

    Oh come on Danny, Moscow Flyer would of needed a walking stick the pace they went at his age.

    Roly very interesting point about Ashley Brook; it definitely was rallying when it fell, it could of given VPU something to think about.

    Moscow may of struggled early on but he would have stayed on well he would have defo finished at least in front of Justified in 5th and that’s AT LEAST.
