Many Clouds rated higher than Sizing John?

Can't have it myself. Smacks a little of sentimentalism, if you ask me.

 

[tiggers1972]

I'd agree with you Grass.

Bit of Tokenism

There can't have been much in it to be fair, Many Clouds too Thistlecrack to a place he hadn't been before and no other horse came close to pulling that off.

 

[tiggers1972]

But surely the fact Thistlecrack did a tendon says it all.

That Our Duke is within a pound of Sizing John will be of interest to many here.
Wonder how the good folk of Moone are thinking.

Modern day Kauto and Denman in many ways

If you consider Cue Card has gone and ran a stone below his best in the KG Thistlecrack has beaten nothing over fences.

Without a shadow of a doubt Sizing John deserves to be the top rated 3 mile chaser and by some way

You could say he hasn't beat much but he's a horse who's ridden to beat what's in front of him and keeps pulling it off..........the Sea The Stars of the jumps game?

What the hell that makes Douvan, who is in a totally different league, only time will tell should he recover but he does look something really special

But surely the fact Thistlecrack did a tendon says it all.

Not back in the yard yet, CT says will take 12/14 weeks to get him fit and looking at either a racecourse gallop or even a hurdle race 7/10 days before Christmas to decide if having a tilt at the KG.

 

[granger]

I'm not too optimistic

Running scared of the Biter, I reckon,
