Cheltenham Festival 2012: DAY 3

[granger]

One I underestimated. Love how he travelled, Serious potential

 

[del boy]

My biggest bet of the week on my only strong fancy, GET IN THERE!! This horse stays sound hel win Gold Cups. Plural. (In my highly excited opinion).

 

[Harbinger]

As with Sprinter Sacre, a fairly careful ride hides just how good he might be.

 

[granger]

That is two festivals he has pissed up in. Seriously taken with that performance. Well done Del

12/1 for next years GC

Del Boy sounded like a 12 year old girl coming out of a Westlife concert on the phone.. he was shrieking:lol:

Smashing horse and the one we took out of our TH weekend in Dublin. PC is gone - maybe Slim was right, he is a broken horse!!

 

[granger]

PC goes back hurdling according to Mccain now

Won't race again this season

@Swedish Chef

Why did you tip Sir Des Champs in the preview night, but Peddlers Cross in the comp?

Just wondering...

Agreed - serious horse and superb ride from Davy Russell - watch how he just let the horse take time over the last even though he got headed before picking him up with the softest of hands - poetry to watch!

Shouldn't have run it today IMO,should have been put away.The owners are not renowned for their leniency in running the guts out of their horses.Winner looks a good un tho!

 

[On The Bridle]

Did you back that Swedish...I seem to remember you fancied it... well done if you did. O'Regan highly underused.

Lesley Graham seems to think Tuffers still plays cricket for England. Thick moose.

 

[Harbinger]

Not sure 'Tuffers' knew any more about racing than Lesley Graham does about cricket.

 

[Simon]

She doesn't know much about racing either, judging by some of the interviews this week. To Bob's Worth's owners - "have you had a winner at the Festival before?"

 

[hezz]

I'm with Synchronised in the Gold Cup, and If Rubi Light is to win here, on merit, I'll be topping up.

 

[On The Bridle]

Barry Geraghty gave that some ride...unreal

 

[links781]

Ride of the week for me.brilliant fantastic.all smiles here

 

[clivex]

What a wonderful race. Absolutely everything in it. Superb

Great stuff from BG. He kept him there and worked him into the race constsitently. Thats why hes my fav jockey

 

[granger]

I thought the grey had it

Some festival for the hendersons

 

[Colin Phillips]

Excellent run by Albertas again.

McCoy had a winner yet?

No...face like thunder

 

[Flagship uberalles]

How many seconds though?

 

[granger]

You'd think Jonjo would have given gim the wink to get on Alfie Sherrin the other day

 

[Very Very Ordinary]

Solix ran very well at the Festival last year. When I re watched the races the other week I put him down as one to follow this time round. I've always said I'd back Blazing Tempo in whichever race she runs in, so it's a worry that the Mullins horses are under a cloud.

Posted on Saturday that two of Nicholls' ran like dogs when favourites to land opening races. This subsequently became three.

Apparently, Rock on Ruby is housed at his satellite yard.

Poquelin withdrawn in last race. Most of his other runners barely sighted.

Something's seriously amiss.

 

[Hamm]

Does anyone else think it's a bit bizarre that Nicholls gets training credit for Rock on Ruby when he is 100% trained by Harry Fry?

What else does he train for him...
