    yes
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Sounds like it depends on Sizing John next week. He gets beat (please god I hope so) then the Million bonus is nixed, he stays in Ireland and FN goes for the King George.

    For the sake of racing, I hope he doesn't get beat

    CT campaigns against his own stable so if it's to be it is to be but not sure FN would be sent to KG in any case

    I used to worry and even avoid backing Tizzard horses when his son rode them Thought he was awful.

    I would put the Tizzard Tizzard behind the Sire De Grugy mob who are near on hopeless IMO

    As for Fox Norton I can put my hand on my heart and say in that form he would give Altior a lot to think about but take on Douvan...don't be a silly willy C L Tizzard

    Sure he just said Fox Norton is as good as Kauto Star. Could be wrong mind, and hope I am.

    Not sure FN will ever have a better chance of winning the QM than the one just gone. He’d probably go off favourite for the Ryanair but I get the impression Tizzard doesn’t rate it.

    Fox Norton is like an inferior Florida Pearl.

    intermediate trip will suit best but very classy and likeable.

    He said he was as good as Kauto Star? rotflmao at that rubbish

    Special Tiara has run below form Simply Ned was beaten 9 lengths this year and last so no change there

    Cloudy was beaten further here than he was by Altior but to be fair he was never travelling and looked booked for last place for the majority of the race.

    A fit Fox Norton would be a tough nut for Altior to crack IMO

    Just reading through some threads as I don't get much chance. That has absolutely tickled me.

    Brian Hughes slammed the state of the ground today for Cloudy Dream. Another jockey said it was like trying to get through glue. Hughes seemed to blame Claisse for watering in the lead up to today. Did he water does anyone know?

    Whatever the truth of the matter the ground at the track looked rough today. Jockeys described it as gluey and tacky and it was badly cut up in places.

    No - according to the Turftrax archive: the heavens did it all themselves on Saturday morning.
    If you're looking for excuses for Cloudy Dream, try "he's not a genuine 2 miler".

    Nevertheless its horrible what they're doing by excessively watering, the ground should be around good based on the rain they got since October, instead it was heavy and sticky - all jockeys reported that on ITV.

    3L second to Buveur D’Air over fences and 6L 2nd to Altior in the Arkle. Got the closest to Altior than any other horse last year but he’s not a genuine 2 miler!! Good lad. I can see the reasoning behind the username now.
