Might Bite will win - he’ll just win less emphatically, the softer the ground is.
FWIW, going on a visual interpretation, the ground looks to be riding a lot better than a ‘Heavy’ going...
Thr RSA winner has gone on to win the Gold Cup twice in the last 6 years, which puts a rather different slant on your use of the statistics.
Beyond the usual hyperbole, no-one is saying Might Bite...
Is it harsh?
American isn’t as good as Native River, and he’s not as good as a few others either. He hasn’t actually achieved very-much outside of novice company, and his record in big-fields is...
American has been found-out. Owner must have a new hat he/she wants to give a run-out.
Yeah....I read it earlier on..........not sure if it's for taking at face value! :lol:
We'll never know, thanks to baldly-boy banker-wanker. :mad:
Vautour would have handed the Don his arse on a plate.
:ninja:
I don’t think there are any genuinely unexposed Irish chasers heading to the Gold Cup.
I think they’re all pretty-much open books, and the only exceptions I might possibly make are for RTR and...
I don't agree, TheBear.
Danny's claim was "The Gold Cup will be the hardest race he's (The Biter) ever been in by quite some way". I still dispute that claim, and I stand behind the statement that...
Whisper has won two Aintree Stayers Hurdles.
Short of top-class my hairy hole, you muppet.
There is no tongue-in-cheek.....the Biter will wipe his fu*cking arse with the lot of them.
OK....maybe a little tongue-in-cheek. :lol:
I disagree, Danny. I don't think it's all that great a Gold Cup, and in terms of standard, it's probably not that much better than the King George.
Whisper's huge run under top-weight in the...
Don't think it is necessarily key, but spring ground is definitely what will see him to best effect.
It may have escaped your attention, but Might Bite didn’t see another horse in the King George for the last mile.
I don’t really care whether you or anyone else believe he idled. I’ve been...
Almost inevitably after his race at Haydock, Blaklion swerves the Gold Cup.......or rather he is being "saved" for Aintree, if NTD is to be believed. :whistle:
Think you're focusing too much on his second outing, which has been rendered an irrelevance by his subsequent efforts, imo.
Agree he is short-enough now though, as Monalee not likely to be any...
As The Bear says, DH, the pair have pulled a mile clear from three mid-150's handicappers, all of whom should have been better suited by the test, than the pair that finished 1st and 2nd.
It may...
Worth stating that Presenting Prercy ran in that handicap off a mark of 145, and won it by 11 lengths.
I'm not saying Our Duke is going to win the Gold Cup, but trying to run him down using...
I basically have The Biter and The Dook against the field.
I'm quite happy with that jockey-booking, to be honest....though obviously contingent on Sizing John making the race.
I find posts like this exasperating.
You have your opinion, and I have mine, and we both think we are right - otherwise what's the point in expressing an opinion?
Your research is what I...
DO, I am not disputing your right to call a race as you see it.
You are looking under the wrong rock.
I questioned your reading of the Ascot Chase alone, and you appear to have interpreted...
Ground worries more legit than jumping ones, I reckon, TheBear..........though they often go hand-in-hand.
DO, I questioned your reading of the Ascot Chase alone, and you responded as follows:
"So we should take all results at face value?"
Note your use of the word "all" (my emphasis), which...
It is a different thing.
I questioned your reading of this particular race, and you applied that to all races. It's there in black-and-white if you wish to re-read it.
I'm not looking to...
