I enjoyed the race, a bet is only a bet. Sizing John laughed at him three out. When was the last time we had a Gold Cup winner have no problems and made it back to defend his crown in peak form? As a backer of Might Bite that performance worries me no end.

Fine beast. Who'd have thought history would remember his as the victor with Douvan
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
Does he go King George? And could he beat Might Bite?
Kauto Star in 2008. Didn't end well for him.
Gone for Alisair DIreland to be second to UDS in an exacta. Only bet this weekend.

Not easily done is it.
No. I must admit I hadn't written SJ off before the season but I did think he didn't look like a 2 time winner to me. I'm worried now also.
UDS looked good as ever...amazing horse
Formely Fist of Fury
Un de Sceaux and SZ proven champions. They showed why today.
ROLL ON THE RESISTANCE !!!
not sure anyone beats uds over 2 miles in ground like that when he's just let loose like a mad b*stard
gonna be a xmas target for SJ or nah?
Going for the Lexus gives them a couple of extra days and the luxury of staying home.
Cracking re-appearance from Sizing John, cantered allover Djakadam there, and I am a fan of the latter. Hopefully Might Bite and Sizing John can stay fit - would provide a very exciting clash come March.
Nice performance from Un De Sceaux too - easy as you like.
Might miss it out altogether.
say zero chance of Kempton
Classy animal

I still haven't gotten over him not running in the Ryanair.
Simon says get over itHope that helped

Jessie far too smart to send SJ to Kempton, two weeks after running him on that ground. No surprise if he swerves everything over Xmas, and is prepped for IGC.
Today’s race of limited relevance for Gold Cup, other than to confirm SJ remains in grand order. Slim’s nerves will jangle a little less, after the Biter makes a pulled-pork of the King George field.
