Will improve from the run

David Nicholson ( The Duke ) was a great believer in this( weight )

So wait, regarding Kalahari King – are you saying trainer put everyone away? if so thats a bad thing to say.

There was a long absence of the track but on the grand scheme of things you still had a G1 horse in a handicap.

I take it people were wary of Murphy saying he may need the run? we’ll he may have been working the horse at 80% with the intention of the race bringing him up to 100% for Cheltenham, do you expect the trainer to come out and say yes he’s ready, he should win – if he dont then people will still be saying oh trainers put us away, BLA BLA, horse aint fit bla bla

The odds were there for you to take advantage off, the trainer has done his job, his opinion was that he’ll improve for the run, your opinion should have been horse wouldnt be at the track if unfit, too classy to risk such a dangerous ploy, G1 horse in handicap.

Sorry i cannot accept the comments of Murphy put people away

Whilst accepting your points I think the problem here is the history of the yard. The gambling nature of it means that people don’t trust him whether justified or not.

He gives too freely, the chances of his runners. I have first hand experience of this.

Having now analysed the betting of the yard – he just does not have a clue and should be totally ignored.

Backing two runners is the relentless pursuit of value. Backing each way is a shortcut to the poor house. Only 7% make a long term profit.

Terry Norman was talking to Mark Loughnane about ridng arrangments next week and Mark said don’t bother about Tin Cha Woody tomorrow he’ll need the run

It’s a thing you can’t tar every trainer with the same brush with. Some are good judges of their horses well being and some are bad. What none of them can do, is tell you what all the condition of the oppostion is like, hence you and the trainer get shock results.

I can tell you with total certainty that the owners of Kalahari King do not have a bet.

Thanks for letting us know Cjboy, I think you may have silenced a few here.
