Fill your boots with Bellshill if you so wish, Archie. I don’t reckon he can lay a glove on Might Bite, who is in a different league altogether, imnsho.

Still on the sick list by the sound of it...
granger (12th September 2018)
It wasn't rocket science to work out that Native River had not been campaigned to win the 2017 Gold Cup.his target was the WGN.
Colin Tizzard immediately made his mind up he would not be seen before Xmas a totally different campaign.
So in one post you admit you were wrong twice. At least you're consistent so much so you added a 3rd debatable point I can't agree with.
Native River never outstayed Might Bite he's just a faster horse. He jumped quicker than Might Bight and got away from every fence that 1/2 stride quicker
Might Bight stayed every yard and if you think he did not why on earth are you touting him for this years race, He has won loads of races with soft in the description
so if you think he doesn't act on it why even think about backing him again?
Nico was sitting motionless looking like he had loads of horse under him but that's just him. Like Ruby you can never be 100% sure
He was hoping he could out speed Native River up the hill but 5 strides after the last native River did what he almost always does he quickened yet again
Nico did mention the ground didn't help his cause but he traveled like a dream in it all the way round plus the margin was so decisive it was more than that.
Having never ran in a Gold Cup before it's hard to say how much was the ground and how much was yer not good enough?
We could throw away those rose tinted glasses and look at the evidence we saw at Kempton which to me indicated, as I said at the time, he doesn't find what you expect.
The media and die hard's called it idling rather than admitting off the bridle he finds very little. You could say it was the ground which was soft but according to you it wasn't the ground he was idling
Look back at Newbury in the Denman every time RJ gave Native River a tap he quickened something AP McCoy attested to saying you couldn't help but admire they way he just kept quickening every time Johnson asked
I just can't see Might Bite ever beating Native River in a Gold Cup but Bellshill would be my outsider to do so. He has that bit of extra speed Gold Cup winners need and no worries with stamina.
At the top of his game he's a real player and discarding him as lightly as you have is Coockoo...but then you always were half daft

No debate just a smart ass ******* wanker blowing hot air

" He just kept Quickening all the way up the straight" AP mCCoy
But hey what would they know?

Tanlic, Native River is a dour stayer, who would be PU’d before 4-out in a King George, because he couldn’t go the gallop.
Faster horse, my rear-end.

Good answer.

In a fantasy world who would you back at Kempon.
Altior or the Biter?
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
Biter -all day long.
It's a no brainer if Altior got the trip and a no brainer if he didn't.
Very interest comment from Nicky Henderson re Biter..."I wouldn't say the ground beat him I'd say a better horse beat him in that ground" Not the trip! not the ground! a better horse

FFS......what bit of “...in that ground” are you failing to understand?
