Added Shantou Flyer win only at 80-1. Right that’s definitely it now as I’ve backed half the field (Well 5 of them).
I’ve backed him E/W too- remember when he was the next big thing? And Supasundae to win.
My list is
Vicente
Highland Lodge
Saint Are
Drop Out Joe
all E/W
If the winner isn’t in there, I hope it’s on this thread – good luck allBy contrast I liked NJH’s other Supreme runner Beyond Conceit today- step up in trip and headgear did the trick and he got into a nice rhythm and jumped well. I don’t know if he would get 3m anywhere other than good ground flat track and wouldn’t be surprised if they give Cheltenham a miss next year to keep him fresh for this meeting.
1.45 Golden Doyen
2.25 Lough Derg Spirit
3.00 Charbel
3.40 Relentless Dreamer
4.00 Supasundae (nap), Different Gravey
5.15 Drop Out Joe
18.45 Master of FinanceYep- as being annoying at the time, if you want to watch a certain horse’s jumping and way of going for future reference it’s useless.
Thanks VtC, I looked at him last night but discounted him as stable not in form, but told myself I’d back him if their horses ran well in the earlier races.
Thought Straidnahanna jumped decently just distance too short for him and ground perhaps a touch good. Might back him in the big one next year.
Glad to get a winner as my picks have been poor so far. But am learning…Ultragold has given me a little bank for my new hobby
Tizzard’s luck has changed so I’ve put some speculative E/W shekels on Ultragold for my silly impulse bet of the day at 80-1
Agree the weather makes it tough, the year Ballabriggs won they looked like they’d had a hard race. Don’t worry I’m sure ITV will talk earnestly every 2 minutes about buckets of water on their visits to the stables and winners enclosure.
So much for my pick. He lost about 8 lengths at the start, fought like mad (again), carried his head far too high, and I think possibly got his tongue over the bit on the run in though was falling out the back of the telly so I couldn’t really see.
Has a bit of talent and somehow managed to hurdle quite well over most of them despite having his head in the sky. Might have been third, if he hadn’t been such a bloody minded nutter. AP McCoy said he thought a big field would suit better as more cover and was right.
I foresee a summer spent dressage schooling.
Well done Voleur, good win. I thought Lizzie Kelly made good use of the horse, a well judged ride.
