Really pleased to have won this! Thanks all!
Thanks again to everyone who contributed and those that helped run it, especially VTC.

[Fantastic Fair Along]

Yes, Sizing John has been a revelation, hasn’t he?
I thought he’d head for the Ryanair when I picked him but it has worked out pretty well so far!
Thanks again VTC for running this comp. Have been keeping a firm eye on developments. Hopefully nothing comes with a late rattle to do me on the line. But you never know in racing!

[Fantastic Fair Along]

Well done to all SJ backers. Truly thought he wouldn’t stay the trip on his Irish Gold Cup showing but was certainly proven wrong. Just shows what a machine Douvan is too and hopefully he can bounce back from his injury.
Glad to see Cue Card get up from a nasty falls as well. Was never able to get into the position he wanted and never traveled as smoothly as he can. Often see him change gear and move up a few places mid-race but he could t do it and was always held ina6th or 7th. Maybe it was the ground but maybe it was time catching up with him.
As for Native River, I think it would be interesting to see him just do a little less early on if he gets back to have another go. They definitely went a good pace early on I think.

[Fantastic Fair Along]

Yeah, if you owned him you’d have to give it a shot I guess, can’t dispute that.
He won’t stay though, will he?

[Fantastic Fair Along]

Agree that he’ll prob go Gold Cup now, just don’t think he can win it on that showing today, as good as it was for him to win that race in its own right.
Imperial Commander took in the Ryanair before going for the GC the following year and no reason why SJ should be any different.
At this point in time the Ryanair would be the better race for him.
However, given that Fox Norton for the same connections could step up after his defeat by Altior, I can’t see him staying Ryanair.
Take your point Gun about the prestige of GC though but any winner at the Festival isn’t to be sniffed at and u have to give yourself the best chance.

[Fantastic Fair Along]

Have to agree with MarkTT. It was a great performance today from Sizing John but the Ryanair is the right race for him regardless.
Probably a quicker pace early on, a further 2fs and up hill finish in March will add up to only one thing: SJ getting out-stayed.
The proximity of Don Poli and EofD at the end doesn’t bode well from a gold cup point of view.
If you think 12/1 is a good price for SJ in the gold cup then 66s about More of That is massive.
Going to be hard for connections not to be tempted now but really do hope they go Ryanair.
