Which one is DJ, Ipso or Facto??

Well done all involved

[Charlie D]

Pure Class. Can’t wait for Cheltenham. Fingers crossed Kauto Star, Denman & Exotic Dancer get there in one piece.

Agree Arazi – going to be a corking contest

[Charlie D]

Easy peasy

[Charlie D]

Whatever reason Fists, he and Ameretto Rose need to improve a fair bit to lower Kachits colors and unless Kingy/Thornton feck up with their race tactics i’m having a hard time seeing the little terrier beaten here

[Charlie D]

I’m making an assumption DJ on the poor show in Fighting Fitth and time off, but you could be right and he’s just been given a break

If he’s ok and fairly straight, i think he’ll be second today

[Charlie D]

Alph, Osako D’airy and Lemon Silk are not good enough.

Amretto Rose is interesting , but it’s hard to see her beating a race fit Katchit FTO and i think Henderson is using this for summat down line

Blythe Knight’s can be half decent, but needs to improve to trouble Katchit, his poor run LTO and time off suggests maybe a problem and he also may be using this for something down line

So this leaves you with a probable good thing unless something strange happens

Looks like BF forum type threads are becoming a regular feature at the Theracingforum

Charlie – Nicholls says in his column “…but whereas for Kauto this is a stepping stone to Cheltenham, for Monet’s Garden this is his Gold Cup and he’ll be spot on”

Interesting statement by Nichols, but most NH races are treated as a stepping stone to Cheltenham – the NH family think of nothing else, i’m afraid

I wasn’t suggesting for a second that KS won’t be trying – of course he will – it is just that Nicholls won’t have him at his peak for today.

No, i can see that now – misinterpretation on my part

That, coupled with a slightly shorter trip than ideal, going right handed and running at a notoriously dodgy track makes KS beatable today.

Can’t see trip, track or direction being a problem myself and i think he’ll take this in similar style to the KG

[Charlie D]

I’d never encourage anyone to get on at 1-3,â€

[Charlie D]

This is a prep for Kauto whereas the others wll have been trained specifically for this race

I hope the BHA are monitoring and they take action if this race is treated as such by connections

[Charlie D]

Bet £3.65 and Willies going 2-5 Kauto

Knock em over fellas

[Charlie D]

Thats my "to back" price at mo naps, i’m afraid and no offense here, but if your horse wins this race, i’m taking up sports betting

[Charlie D]

I have Lemon Silk at 100+ at mo

[Charlie D]

Cheers guys, i’ve have learn something new today

[Charlie D]

Cheers HJ

Any idea why he carried less weight than those rated inferior to him???

[Charlie D]

Paul

I’m not having a go a P Nichols so get off your soap box

[Charlie D]

I don’t bother looking at Amateur races like this and have no idea who qualifies to run and who doesn’t, but is this race meant for horses of his ability

Seems strange a 130 rated horse having 12 stone and a 120 78 rated horse carrying 5lb more
