Watching Sam T-D’s pre-race interview on Channel 4 told you all you needed to know! “it wouldn’t be the end of the world if he got beat today, he’ll be firing on all cylinders come March”
Haven’t backed a Henderson horse all season after losing the only 1 or 2 times I backed one his his last year.
Yep you guys got me haha, thought it’d be rude not to come back in time for Cheltenham!
Cheers mate, hoping so after Annie Power ****** me and seemingly everyone else in the stands last year, it’s the price you pay for the accumulators but I’m going to hit one eventually, this’ll be the year
Yanworth looked an absolute beast the other week, to me the Neptune field looks weak and this horse should prove a world apart. The only worry is Yorkhill as I was impressed with his win at Sandown on very testing ground where his class prevailed but he’s good enough odds to have an easy saver on.
I’m with you Pointer and Steve, really like Gibralfaro, backed him on his second hurdles start when he absolutely bolted up against the Nichols horse that just beat Peace n Co (can’t trust Nicky Henderson these days can you). If I remember right Connetable and the King horse were basically alongside each other going over the last (both had travelled very well) but the King horse quickened away like a good’un, the fact that he’s kept the horse off the track to avoid the heavy ground shows that he thinks he has a potential Cheltenham winner here and didn’t want to hinder his chances (different from Yanworth as his action suggests he copes with cut in the ground even if he doesn’t prefer it).
Annie Power or Vroom Vroom Mag too depending on which one goes to the mares. Can’t see Thistlecrack getting beat in the world hurdle either, that is unless Cole Harden wins, which I happily had last year, will obviously have to back it again as long as it’s good ground.
Gord is right, Mullins is going to dominate this year and in 20 years time we’ll look back at this period and think “why did we not all make a fortune backing mullins horses, they were so f***** obvious!”
That is, unless, we back the living daylights out of them and put our faith in the Irish wizard.
Get the accumulators on, the likes of Min, Limini, Douvan, Faugheen and Un De Sceaux won’t lose, Vautour will probably win the gold cup too when he’s 100% fit and lost those extra pounds he was carrying round the King George.
