We might not know for some time. There's a saying at Irish Racecourses..."If you can see the first fence down the back it's going to rain, if you can't see it it's raining" :)

What races on good ground ? He ran on it twice and was beaten both times. Once by the horse he just kicked into touch after he couldn't go the early pace and the other in a very poor renewal of the...
If Footpad handles good ground as well as he does heavy I would back him to outgun Altior.
That is one big if
Apart from saying LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL not really :lol:
The times from flag fall are correct. Don't listen to the commentator because they paused for a second or so in Sprinters race. Hence Douvan's faster time overall but that is not what interested me....
1738
The point being made is the figures produced by Timeform of 184 Sprinter Sacre 169 Douvan for their respective Arkle wins are a pile of shite.
You are looking at ink on paper and not looking or...
True but you can't for one minute say Sizing John was not and lets not forget he also won over 2m4f beating Djakadam rate 167 by 7 lengths.
It would be nonsense to say Cue Card was a better horse...
It was what I like to call a Tommy Stack ride and Tommy could stop one be beaten a neck and you'd be certain he was trying his best.
Have to agree with Granger. Davy could have won but never set...
On good ground against Altior eg . I doubt if WPM would want to go there with Footpad
He loved that ground in the Arkle but hated the ground in the Triumph and couldn't go the pace early in the...
Best Arkle performances in the modern era (@Timeform):
184 - Sprinter Sacre
174 - Footpad
169 - Douvan
167 - Un De Sceaux
161 - Altior
What complete and utter nonsense
Very nice win but stupidity won the day....Nico must have thought it was his birthday
I like Saint Calvados and he could be anything. He was scary last time and he has me worried for a few of my AP accies and I bet I am not the only one.
If I were trying to console anyone I would...
I thought it was closer than the betting suggested I consider it a huge loss DJ must be sick as a parrot....
Scares the **** out of me I thought I was home and dry having the first 3 in the betting in mixed accumulators. This horse makes Ar Mad at his best look slow
Kauto you may have won 5 KG's but that does not give you the right to commit Blasphemy.....Footpad more exciting that Douvan or Altior? The latter perhaps but the former..........c'mon mate I can...
What did you think of the race? Considering the lay off I thought Petit Mouchoir ranwell enough to say that with normal improvement there won't be much between the 2.
I just wonder will Daryl...
Is this a Monty Python Sketch........wtf are you 2 talking about:lol:
Not Sceaux Royal surely?
When we were doing the Cheltenham accie thing on here I did mixed accies starting of with Both plus Sceau Royal at big prices in the first leg and Buvi and Faugheen in the next...I have a sneaky...
Fair Comment
Footpad is no Douvan so I imagine it certainly won't be a walkover and a mini upset could be on the cards if he does have him fit
He's been throwing shyte at the wall for years in the hope some sticks and it does occasionally and he only needs one winner from 10 or 20 selections to show a profit at posted prices
Doubt if...
They posted after me it take 7 hours for my posts to reach the UK:lol:
I'm surprised no one cared to mention the performance of Saint Calvados.
He reminds me of Ar Mad only potentially better
Jumps like a stag, has a big engine and could lead them a merry gallop...
Seems like someone agrees.....David Mullins is Brain dead excuse the pun :0)
