    A thorough hound who won an awful Arkle by default. Mental and/or physical problems mean you missed a zero off your price!

    Thats a very bold statement! I’ll easy take £1 on at 2600-1 for the World Hurdle Big Bucks! If you are offering!

    There"s only one horse who could give Big Bucks a race in this years World hurdle and he cant jump fences either!Tidal bay at 260 on the machine! Connections dont need me to remind them of their success in this particular race!

    There"s the winner,he will be 7/2 on the day! Sweating Big Bucks? :wink:

    Backed Tidal Bay in the market without Big Bucks – no point losing the win part of the bet. My main concern would be the likely small field but it is a chance worth taking as he likes the track and clearly retains plenty of ability.

    Shocking performance by Lie Forrit who should have handled the ground. Possibly Cheltenham does not suit and any chance of placing in a World Hurdle appears to have gone.

    He’s got a physical problem whatever the obstacles are, same for his head. And he’s not good enough anyway. Not a good combo.

    His head has always been like that,yes he is not a natural leper as we say in Ireland,but he will get over hurdles a lot easier than fences,he also has an engine,his day will come when all the short memories have written him off!

    There are times when i even amaze myself! But i suppose to be a King,you need to be bold,brave,fearless,knowledgeable,articulate,modest? No chance! :oops: :oops:

    If Big Bucks and Tidal Bay jump the last together Tidal Bay will do him for pace

    Great bet 260-1 There must be some real mugs on Betfair
    I thought the 14-1 on offer today was crazy,

    Tidal Bay has a serious engine. He always has and it is simply been his jumping that has let him down. In-between his obstacles is where he makes up the most ground and since its slightly easier to get from one side of a hurdle to another (as opposed to fences) I think connections have made the correct decision with the switch back.

    He has to be a threat in the World Hurdle and jumping the last we could have 2 horses with massive engines that are not the most natural of lepers!

    The World Hurdle has suddenly become very interesting….

    No chance – as talented as Tidal Bay is, Big Bucks is more so. There’s no way any horse is getting past BB in a scrap for the line. Machine

    one other thing – please stop referring to TB and BB as bad ‘lepers’. A leper and a leaper are very, very different things :)

    To be fair to Big Bucks there Dough,he didn"t do an Aido1 and actually offer the price,i think he is now in a state of shock that there is a horse capable of roughing up Big Bucks and he will! :wink:
