This and there being no fallers almost certainly due to the reduction in runners making it less of a cavalry charge early on. Of course, the runners who didn't make the cut were, by definition, the...

I think there are 23 NH meetings left in the UK season. That means maybe 160 races with the majority worth less than £10k to the winner. Win and, importantly, place money in the big races at Ayr and...
The RTV pundits were clearly on Bob Olinger to a man!
Not sure what the current guidelines are but Skelton never stopped riding Langer Dan and there was no contact between him and IEP....
I'm not sure that Walsh gets a totally unrestricted choice. In this case, Townend rode I Am Maximus to victory in the Irish National and Danny has won a big pot on Meetingofthewaters so maybe Walsh...
Makes Lucinda naive then because she said that he would definitely come on for the run.
I have it in my head that some horses mentioned have question marks against them on soft or heavy ground. Galvin and Kitty's Light, who would both have plausible chances on better ground, come into...
For me, the ground will be all important. Today's wind will have helped but there seems to be plenty of rain in the forecast.
I thought that the Gold Cup would put Corach Rambler spot on but, like...

You mean like the 14/1 shot that just hosed up? Plenty of both pink and blue on oddschecker.
It usually costs less to have a horse trained in Ireland. Prize-money, especially at the lower levels, is up to twice as much in Ireland. Go figure.
Yes.
None, but he already has more wins at Cheltenham than Kauto ever managed. I was quite specific about it being a Gold Cup match up.
Kauto was probably half a stone better at Kempton than at Cheltenham. His first two Gold Cups (aged 7 and 8) yielded RPRs of 175 and 178 (185 in his third) whereas his best at Kempton was 191. GDC...
Out of 27 races, he picked up prize-money in 25 this year totalling approx £1580k.
I reckon that, in a Gold Cup, GDC would see off both of them. Kauto would get his revenge in the KG.
Last year, Langer Dan won by a head and was raised 6lb. Coming back down 6lb after 4 races is not a huge drop.
Going all the way back to the Ramsdens (and before), we have had trainers and owners...
Faugheen was 10 years ago and, since then, he's had Yorkhill and Kemboy who have gone on to win G1s over fences.
As said previously, Ballyburn isn't bred for 2 miles. The Turners next year and the...

I'm surprised that he's made the decision this early. However, Frank Berry has obviously made a call with Mythical Power and, with the talk of Tullyhill working very well recently, Paul T obviously...
Brechin Castle not left in the bumper either.
These bets should be settled on the stick reading at a nominated place on the course rather than the form of words used by a clerk with a vested interest.

Connie (Coningbeg) is on track to visit Dartmouth towards the end of the month.
In the meantime, I've acquired a share in Mountain Lake - Lot 1412 at Tatts in December...
