    sprinter sacre will not win the arkle and is the lay of the meeting nqat

    if peddlers gets round he wins

    if alfie gets round he will finish second

    peddlers cross is a machine of a horse, any horse that makes hurricane fly pull out all the stops in a CH surely is a bit special

    Sprinter Sacre wins the Arkle :|

    doesn’t get up the hill does he?

    i backed SS in the supreme was counting my cash turning in but the hill found him out

    AL FEROF on the other hand does get up the hill and is my choice atm

    but you just know the first nicholls trained stewart owned novice that wins a crappy little race in october will be made 5/2 fav :lol:

    peddlers cross?

    i was there on the tuesday and backed hurricane fly but peddlers scared the shite out me :)

    if his chasing campaign doesn’t start well he could revert to hurdling and on softer ground could get even closer

    none of the others need bother turning up

    good horse

    needs good or softer though

    any firm in the going means no bet in the guineas

    he’s not got much taller but has filled out superbly, if you look closely at his action he hits the ground hard and will be very vulnerable on quick ground

    pray for rain if your "on" :)

    ok

    let me start by saying i didn’t have a penny on the race

    i’m a big fan of emma lavelles, i think she could go right to the top in the training ranks but when youv’e got a cowboy with no bottle or skill as your stable jockey your up against it.

    and just look what happened later at plumpton in the 4.10 race

    :D

    kempes has no chance

    IC, denman, kauto and harry will be trained to the minute, and are all at their best when fresh

    they’ll fill the first 4 places in whatever order with a clear round- fact

    i’ll give anyone 100/1 kempes to win if they want it 8)

    having followed the sport for over 20 years iam in no doubt that b.j geraghty is the finest nh jockey ive ever seen

    strong as mccoy in a finish and tactically as brilliant as ruby as well

    when i first got into the game 90% of the jockeys were cowboys and couldn’t ride a rocking horse

    nowadays there are no cowboys in the professional ranks

    simple reason is if your not very good in the modern era of nh racing you dont get a job

    Wasn’t as bad as McCoy’s ride on Get Me Out Of Here. At least Mike Smith tried to win. McCoy didn’t bother.
