Sigh, so serious If people think Hurricane was gifted the race at Cheltenham when the rider of the runner-up offered the opinion that ROR had run a better race than 2012 well, I guess people might never agree on that. Can talk about sectionals all day - and some of the analysis that has been...

Luckiest horse in training Every time he races a combination of the pace/ground/incompetence of other jockeys/alignment of the stars - take your pick - set up a situation where he somehow ends up winning, often comfortably. Or maybe he's just better

The third best week's racing of the year and will probably have more Cheltenham winners than Aintree....if there's no room for Punchestown on the calendar, may as well just run the NH season for a month building up to March and that's it

Couldn't agree more Grey, Holt getting on the nerves with his post race synopsis MTOY and Dynaste are lovely horses - the former in particular - but they've both won as they should have today. Until they take on the horses that beat them, it's a bold statement to say that they've righted a...

Not especially, think his beating of Rule The World still reads fairly well. He's a stout stayer and that's what you need for the race. That said, the favourite has solid credentials.

Ground won't inconvenience Our Vinnie - he's a play here at the prices

Tend to agree, wouldn't help SDC's chances at all

Our Conor/Salsify double could make the week... Fancy Discoteca/Shadow Catcher to run well at a price here

But this time 12 months we'll be told again that the Irish horses have been picking up soft races....

Jesus Christ!

Seems unlikely to me too - rumour mill is often wrong Interesting they are taking until the morning though, would suggest they are considering something different. I assume a change is allowed - even if it's from one trainer to another?

Rumour going around the track that McCoy could switch to SDC

Surely it has to be Townend on SDC....

Starluck would have won that?

Well done Cue Card backers. Best horse for the trip won that race and can't use mistakes as an excuse for FL - CC simply far too quick for him

Mouse has had hardly any ammo over the past six years, and it's quite a convenient timeframe to choose in terms of the example given. He put War of Attrition away at Christmas and won the Gold Cup, put him away in the first week of January and ran second in the Supreme. First Lieutenant has ran...

Think Mouse Morris has consistently proved you can put one away at Christmas and bring it back in perfect condition. Not a valid excuse for me.

Fancied Lyreen and got the reverse forecast up thanks to confidence about Windermere coming from the right places, including this thread...but that was lucky

Nice

Wouldn't be a fan of taking 9/4 about a horse over 4 miles but after going through the rest, it's hard to see anything to beat him - the other Irish horse, Tofino Bay, has probably the next best form. Pipe's could be anything, perhaps, but what price would any of these have been for the RSA? [an...
