Problems for Gordy again? 10th and fell in the opener. 10th and PU in this. None of them unfancied Yesterday was not good bar the mare in the Champion
What a ride Harry Cobden. Love a front runner jumping them silly. Beautiful grey boy
Wednesday (Day two)
1.20 Sortudo (Ballyfad)
2.00 Predators Gold (Kitzbuhel)
2.40 Lucky Place NB & Ballyadam (Buddy One)
3.20 Vanillier NAP (Final Orders)
4.00 Irish Panther (Captain Guinness)
4.40 Boothill (Rubaud)
5.20 Charismatic Kid (It’s Only A Game)Reminder to take what a trainer says sbout the ground and horse preferences with a large pinch of salt. From Hendersons Unibet Blog regards todays winner:
Ground is also quite crucial to her, but the other way round, because she is a much, much better horse on soft. She’s a big bold, front running mare who jumps well and has plenty of ability.
She was very good at Newbury where she never stopped galloping and appeared to really enjoy herself out front, although whether she will be able to employ those tactics in a race at the Cheltenham Festival is another matter because everyone will be wanting to get a good position and there no one takes any prisoners!
We will be monitoring the ground, however, because it might not be the best idea to run her if conditions aren’t suitable for her at this stage of her life, but we’ll see.
She was very good and its great to finally have her in the race. Alexei looked booked for 2nd if he didnt botch the last, connections must be delighted with him
Clearly a talented boy but he came there with momentum after the last and just looked like he didn’t want to pass to me when he got close to the winner. Headgear maybe? He was looking around all over the place
I swear this happens every year. Something is really well fancied/backed antepost and then they drift on the day.
I miss the Channel 4 days. The coverage is great on ITV except for the Presenters. Have to watch most of the programme on mute. Richard Hoiles honourable exception.
Looks strong if he stays. Mullins has about 10 in there. Probably be no hiding place.
Romeo’s gone to the wrong race probably. I think he’d have won that with his jumping. Hes no slower at 2m than Lulamba
Shoulda woulda coulda but I thought Sober Glory had him in trouble before nearly taking the last out of the ground, did well to get back as close as he did. Good race though could be 3 nice horses
Lol at ITV asking AP and Mick if the winner did anything wrong. Not at all biased towards Henderson historically
I know people will tell me the horse won’t stay and maybe he won’t but I just have a feeling Il Ridoto is going to give Olive Nicholls a lovely spin. Loves Cheltenham, probably a fair mark. He might just need a trip now as hes got older.
I see Gina Andrews is pencilled in for Nicholls other horse Insurrection and I don’t know much about the horse but I rate Gina in these amateur riders races around here a lot. Everyone tends to zone in on the Irish riders but she is very good, won the race before I believe.
