From connections, or just law of averages PJ! :whistle::lol:

I’ve just rated the race and I’ve got Al Boum coming out at a conservative 172. The time was also excellent and supports that I could conceivably rate him higher. the underwhelming feeling is largely...

Yes all the very best guys. Fingers crossed for a big win, but most of all that you enjoy your day(s) and the horses run their race and come back safe.

They'd be mad to run him this close to the Festival now. He jumps a fence very well and he'll have had plenty of schooling so I'd take him straight there irrespective of what the stats say.

I'm a...

I certainly agree with the final point TS, but I like many have suspected he's been battling niggles related to the injury all season. Sizing John has been a horse that has relished better ground all...

Like nobody saw that coming! I just wish they'd be out in the open with this stuff.

I'm also in the opposite camp with regards last years Gold Cup Maurice. It's rare for us to disagree actually but we're absolute opposites on this one.

All that said I understand why you've take...

I disagree JJ. Whilst there's no Kauto or Denman I'd say it may end up being a deep, big field, Gold Cup.

Thinking about what may turn up I may go as far as saying as deep as any previous I can...

I was just reading through and was about to post exactly the same thing.

I agree Kempton is one of the sterner tests. A horse needs a balance of speed and stamina to win a King George. What catches the stayers out, or typical Gold Cup winners out, is the ability to go the...

I've heard mixed reports about Waiting Patiently. The initial reports were that he's unlikely to be seen out before the new year, but more recently I hear he's back in the yard and likely to be ready...

Don't you think he'd be looking to aim Douvan for the King George Nick? I get what you say about the trainers championship, but there are several reason to think he might. I'd say the race at Kempton...

There's just no way they'd leave themselves open to the criticism PJ. Some decisions are big, and others are just too big.....

If Mullins doesn't send Douvan or Footpad to the King George, he'd be the one I think he'd most likely send over, given you can't run everything in the Lexus. Could I see him beating Might Bite? No,...

As much as I respect his ability, I'd be pretty confident Thistlecrack's previous form isn't good enough to win a Gold Cup anyway GG.

Of course it''s impossible to predict the ground on Gold Cup Day next March, but I'm with Grassy. Might Bite is the most likely winner if we have good to soft or better.

I hear what you saying...
