    Hi Big Bucks you give Solwhit a chance, well Solwhit only beat Punjabi in a photo and Punjabi only beat Celestial Halo in a photo which means on ratings there is very little between them. You give Go Native a chance, yet he would have been beaten in another stride by Starluck at Kempton and would have been beaten easily if Starluck had not made a bad mistake earlier, and as you know Starluck was well beaten by Zaynar.

    So can you please explain why you have dismissed Zaynar, Celestial Halo, Punjabi and Starluck?

    If Zaynar has no chance then Starluck who was well beaten by Zaynar in the Triumph has no chance. If Starluck can run Go Native to a short head then Go Native has no chance. If Go Native has no chance then those behind him at Newcastle (Solwhit Sublimity & Won in The Dark) have no chance. If Solwhit has no chance then those he has beat (Donna’s Palm, Celestial Halo, Punjabi & Medermit) have no chance.

    So who does that leave?

    Khyber Kim

    But Khyber Kim was beated 18 lengths by Sentry Duty who was only receiving 1 pound and Sentry Duty isn’t even entered for the Champion Hurdle.

    Of course you could argue things the other way round, many are keen on the chances of Go Native so if he has a chance then Zaynar must have a better chance as he beat Starluck by further.

    The fact is this years champion hurdle is as clear as mud with the first 9 in the betting holding some kind of chance on various form lines.

    Brownes Gazette who was favourite for See You Then’s first champion hurdle. The bent jockey Dermot Browne gave them all a 30 length start, he did get into the race but making up the lost ground took it’s toll and he was beaten about 20 lengths. The horse was never the same after.

    See the finish for yourself

    As Einstein said "condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance"

    You clearly haven’t watched either of the video links, if you did you would understand why the economy is in such a mess.

    Maybe curiosity will get the better of you.

    Mikael still available @ 14/1.

    Have looked at the opposition next week, if he’s half straight he should win.

    Even if you don’t fancy him for the RSA this looks an ideal opportunity to back him now then lay the bet off on betfair at 5/1 or so if he wins well and get a free bet out of it.

    The average sp of the Champion hurdle over the past 3 years is 16/1 and over 20 years is over 10/1, so I would be hoping the average continues with either Celestial Halo or Zaynar

    I see Forpaddydeplasterer has made a miraculous recovery, it would not surprise me to see him line up in the Ryanair as Mastermind looks unbeatable in the Champion Chase

    Ellsberg Explains Reality of US Foreign Policy to Kristol p1

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIUSMLOmtQ8

    Daniel Ellsberg spent three years in the U.S. Marine Corps, serving as rifle platoon leader, operations officer, and rifle company commander.
    He worked as a strategic analyst at the RAND Corporation and consultant to the Defense Department and the White House.
    "His recent essay, "The Next War", featured in the October 2006 issue of Harpers magazine, urges government officials to reveal truths about government secrecy and nuclear planning—with documents—to avert a possible attack on Iran."

    "A hidden crisis is under way. Many government insiders are aware of serious plans for war with Iran, but Congress and the public remain largely in the dark."

    The depression we are in has been deliberately created.

    The Bank of England created £200 billion out of thin air (quantitative easing). Therefore the Bank of England then had £200 billion for free. These funds created digitally were then used to purchase government bonds that already existed from the banks with the idea that this would free up funds for the banks to lend.
    The net result is that the BOE now holds £200 billion of government bonds for a zero outlay. They will receive the interest on these bonds plus a return of the capital when they reach their end date.
    The problem with this is the £200 billion has now become part of our national debt to be repaid by the taxpayer. Since the BOE are in public ownership (as stated on their website they were nationalised in 1946) then why does this debt need to be repaid to a bank we own? The reality is that they are lying about the banks ownership, the BOE is owned by a consortium of private banks headed up by the Rothschild family as is the Federal Reserve in the USA and virtually every central bank on the planet.

    If you really want to understand why we are in such a mess you need to watch the video the money masters, link below, this is the most educational film you will ever see.

    Or if you have a short attention span watch the video called money as debt, link below

    Have just watched the replay on http://www.attheraces.com
    and Zaynar ran a good trial. His jumping looked ok to me.
    He travelled well for most of the race. My impression is that Nicky Henderson had left a lot to work on as he said the horse was blowing hard after the race and the winning rider said Zaynar was blowing down the back straight. He will come on a ton for this race and having backed him in umpteen perm bets am not disheartened at all, just wish I had him at the 8/1.

    Zaynar may well have been beaten and his price lengthened but …………….

    I predict that his price will shorten up between now and Cheltenham and that Barry Geraghty will still ride him in preference to Punjabi.

    The Ground was described as DESPERATE, as usual the bookies have over-reacted, Zaynar @ 8/1 is now a cracking good each way bet to nothing.

    What is Nicky Henderson playing at with Zaynar’s preparation? He is sending the horse to Kelso which is the best part of an 800 mile round trip with the horse spending around 15 hours in the horsebox for a race that may be called off due to the state of the ground.

    Quantitative easing pulled Mcoys arms out for most of his last race yet he was only beaten a neck. He jumped really well. With a fast run race he should settle in and finish a lot stronger.
