My five definites this year are-
Katchit- A. King- Can’t help thinking that this is the next Champion Hurdler, so slick at his flights and the heart of a lion.
Kauto Star- P. Nicholls- Had his knockers last season right up until Gold Cup day, special talent, three miles is his minimum now. Machine.
Denman- P. Nicholls- Likely to be kept apart from Kauto Star until the Gold Cup, only horse who can get near to Kauto at Cheltenham.
Voy Por Ustedes- A. King- I still feel this horse hasn’t been given the plaudits deserving of a crack two mile championship chaser. 2m King.
Cork All Star- J. Harrington- Top class bumper horse who is still an unknown quantity over hurdles but debut win was smooth as silk.
My dark horse is Ringaroses- H. Knight- 2 from 2 over hurdles since impressive bumper campaign. When I have an idea about the likely Cheltenham target for this one its worth an ante-post bet. Came across as a classy and progressive animal.
Great Topic.
Good Luck All.
I would aim George at the B.C. Mile, only because I can’t fancy him on the dirt for the Classic.
I’m backing D. Healy 11/4 to score anytime in my usual useless £5 acca.
K. Doyle 11/4
D. Bent 2/1
O. Martins 9/4
Any other suggestions?
Biggest cliche ever I know but ‘if he stays he wins’. Me personally i’m one of these who loves an unbeaten horse and I hope he takes the Guineas/Derby double at least, maybe the T.C.
I reckon Hilary has had the wind in her sails before she even declared interest in the Presidency, I think it would be foolish to write off Barack Obama at what is still an early stage in the election but I believe America will have its first female no.1 in 2008.
I believe as you put it ‘if you back a winner’ you should not lose money. You should always get back what you originally staked. I’ve heard a lot of Ladbrokes bad business recently. Good luck in future.
I like Silver Birch at a price but he will have to reproduce the form he was in when with Paul Nicholls. About 25/1 I believe. Good luck.
I backed Ned Kelly to small stakes and didn’t really get a run for my money, well not to worry there’s always tomorrow.;)
I’d like Well Chief to win but I fancy VPU to come good, I wouldn’t be surprised if Newmill wins again though.
I can’t see past Fair Along and whilst he has to overcome the rough and tumble of a race like this I think he’ll have a bit too much speed fot the rest. I have always rated Nicky Henderson highly and I hope Jack The Giant runs well, E/W value I think.
I seen a horse on Racing UK’s French Flat coverage a month back called Sick My Duck. Very amusing waiting for the commentator to make the blunder of his career.:biggrin:
I’d love Katchit towin the Triumph but I’ll be on Lounaos with the weight allowance.<br>I heard a whisper a while ago about Mad Fish (W. Mullins) for the Bumper and whilst he was beaten first time out under rules I’d be prepared to give him a chance if he runs given the trainers record.
Always an option to keep 2 entries open right up to raceday but it has to be close to impossible to get a horse to run with merit in 2 championship races in 2 days. Its quite possible you could ruin a horse long term should it pick up an injury too. Picking one I’d run him in the QM.
