Might Bite certain to be aimed at the Gold Cup.
Memory playing tricks - Pendil was robbed by the hopeless rides given to him by Richard Pitman not outstayed .
You are right about 1986 but Wayward Lad did win at Aintree in 1985 and in his very last race in 1987 after The Thinker’s snowy Gold Cup .
The old boy had Gold Cup runner up Cybrandian back in...
I thought the Gold Cup was a wonderful race - looked a two horse race after about three fences !
I so so hope Might Bite was just done by the ground and doesn't end up like Wayward Lad - though...
Rubbish outstayed in the mud . A great horse race and a great ride from Dickie.
I suspect Cobden less than happy to be claimed to ride Cliffs of Dover !
The ease with which he dismissed Politologue last January is not to be forgotten.
The only thing I would say is Top Notch was beaten surprisingly early.
I tend to agree - the issue with Waiting Patiently is the festival ground - Hughes suggested that soft heavy in places was as dry as he wants it !
It was a Grade 1 they were at level weights.
I wonder if they will skip the GC and go for the Ryanair with Cue Card.
The idea I think was to test stamina - Cue Card ran Frodon and Top Notch into the dust I suspect that Waiting Patiently is just one hell of a horse.
Nicholls has jocked Cobden up on Cliffs of Dover in the Kingwell - new or old jockey for Cue Card ?
Great to see Native River win impressively. If we get the ground of Coneygree’s GC or Best Mate’
s last he has a great chance - on good ground he just may lack the pace.
I feel the race is all...
He was pretty happy winning the Ryanair with Alberta’S Run.
What is the excuse with Coneygree this time ?
Or gave his jockey everything he had on the bridle .
Did you sing" I will Survive" in response to the disko news ?
BDM's best runs have been in soggy Haydock ground which I assume is why he is favourite . Weather forecast for later in the week rather concerning especially heavy rain predicted for Wednesday -...
