These chances don't come around too often. Just his bad luck that the weather went against him. Next year he'll possibly have to contend with Footpad & Presting Percy.
Not saying he can't do it...

Can't believe I deserted him. What a horse.
Altior & Native River can't win following one run after a long lay off? Looks a little silly now.
I've finally come down on Our Duke. Not the most straightforward campaign but the stars appear to be aligning for him. I've also had a small e/w on American who will save a lot of energy with his...
Harsh. Very harsh.
He’d be a player on soft ground. Stays longer than the proverbial

It's not a patch on Don Cossack's year! (the shite talking I mean)
You make some good points but I still don't agree.
As I didn't back him In the King George and haven't backed him for the Gold Cup I can say from a neutral standpoint that I had him as a much...
To suggest it’s not much better than the KG is stretching the truth a little Grassy. BDM is only top class around one track, Thistlecrack was gone and the rest were either untested at the distance or...
There were some pretty decent yardsticks in their rear view mirror.

He was giving weight to what many believe to be the best novice chaser around over 2m 5f. It was a good run in my book.

They are a bunch of ******* cowboys. I took money off them last festival after signing up. I had to chase them for the promotional bonus and the withdrawal method was more convoluted than an episode...
The winning time yesterday was bang on the same as last years renewal (which CC won). If you factor in that it was worse ground yesterday then you’ve got to say that’s about as good as Cue Card is....
I’ve watched it again. It’s the early fences where he jumps them a bit big that concerned me, but yes he soon gets into a nice rhythm. I’m being influenced by a previous bad experience which...
I appreciate this is entirely a different set of circumstances but I’m stung by backing Empire Of Dirt in last years Ryanair. He was dropped out the back and never made the ground up. Having backed...
I agree his price for this years Gold Cup was way too short but he was always going to be vulnerable at 2 and a half miles to the speed merchants. I still have him marked as a horse with massive...
I get the impression that has been Waiting Pariently’s primary target all season. Big pot, likely soft ground and ideal trip. Anything else from here will be a bonus. I can see him struggling to make...
Anyone who has backed Coney Island for the Gold Cup must be pleased to see the decs for Ascot. Every chance he’ll be found wanting for pace against some of these.

It’s a big risk though. He could just as easily be Carvills Hill.

Interesting that they’re thinking of getting another run into Our Duke. He has got it all to prove though. I can’t have one in the Gold Cup that makes so many jumping errors.

It's seeing what you want to see and ignoring evidence that doesn't fit in with your theory. As punters we often have to overlook a bad run or two when forming an opinion on any given race but it...
It’s always good to have the alternative argument put forward. It makes you question your own methods and stops you just accepting the general perception. Sometimes you get a couple of decent judges...
He's just a pleasure to watch. Bordering on my favourite horse in training.
Double Shuffle and Tea For Two are both at their best around Kempton. As such I have no issue with them being so close to Might Bite in the King George. He's clearly the best staying chaser in the...
No prep for The Biter. He goes straight there.

Can't work out if you don't rate the trainer or the horse?
The fact I was scrambling for a thread to put this on explains the point really.
American is a horse I have a lot of time for but what on earth would you do with him after today. Once again he...
