I just hope we get the answers we are all looking for and all of them get a fair crack at the race!my gut feeling Is just vautour is just too good to be one of those in between distance horses and hopefully he is a superstar staying chaser who wins multiple grade ones which is what NH has needed since kauto and denman retired.people writing him off as a non stayer after one 2nd in the KG is ludicrous IMO
Yeah they are all very fair points and you could well be right, obviously you have more knowledge historically than me, I just hope your wrong!Haha.I suppose it’s easy to get carried away with the manner of his JLT win last year, I mean visually it was just to die for wasn’t it.i think cue card is being slightly overlooked generally even though he’s been the best staying chaser this season and if I was to have a saver it would be on him, as the other 3 main protagonists have too many questions to answer djakadam (2 falls out of 3 at Cheltenham) Don cossack (2 poor runs at festival) Don poli (too slow, I think he could win an average renewal but not one with this strength in depth)
I was probably a bit young when kauto was in his pomp so fair play, but I think smad place being in the field will help him settle better,I just think this horse is a superstar and so too do mullins and Walsh,also nicholls has come out and said he’d love to train vautour for GC,who better judge than him with his previous staying chasers.dont get me wrong in the past I have always looked at stamina more in the GC as in my time I have seen high class plodders like Lord Windermere and synchronised win but watching coneygree last year with suitable ground conditions and jumping and travelling the way he did, makes me think if a horse is that good then the cream will always rise to the top! Alot is made of the extra distance in gold cup but if a horse is in such a rhythm like vautour probs will be,I think it can be over played!
I have a feeling we are going to see something special in this year’s gold cup from the mighty vautour, his effort in the king George on a track that doesn’t play to his strengths and his first effort over 3 miles, was a fantastic one. Cheltenham is his playground, like kempton was kauto stars!aslong as the ground has the word ‘good’ in the description a new star will be born. Any people questioning if he will stay, I’m sure people said the same on kauto stars first attempts over a staying trip!
Completely agree fran the man,surely the jocks won’t let ruby have it all his own way up this time , maybe leave the door open to something off the pace (Arctic fire or mtoy if he gets there)
Windsor park in with a huge shout if the going description has ‘good’ in it. Ignore his winter form, he wasn’t stopping over 3f less last year!
very good value if he turns up he wins.next i betting is SDG and he was beaten by kid cassidy last time he was at cheltenham!!
Very impressed with Mossey Joe myself at stratford and looks like a banker but will he be the same horse at cheltenham and only 6 weeks to prepare him for the foxhunters now in comparison to others which will have been aimed at it all season. i think oscar delta could gain compensation for last year.definitely a great ew bet would have won last year and been placed in previous 2 runnings
