I thought JT was pretty easy on L'Ami also.

Missed that Colin. On Wednesday the problems with the RP site induced a freeze on my PC just as I was laying off a considerable sum on Betfair. It cost me a lot so I am avoiding whilst I am betting.

I had betfair freeze on me last Sunday-when my 24s shot went clear I knew the inevitable would happen and despite touching 1.24 he got beat.School of hard knocks.
In an ideal world the mobile should always be handy when trading on betfair.

chucking it down with rain for the last hour or two.

I think JT is a very good horseman and he knew the horse had little left .

I wouldn't dream of questioning JT as a horseman, just saying if JP had his money down on L'Ami i don't think the finish would have been the same. L'Ami for the Cross Country in March IMO.

Star de M made a couple of minor mistakes too when going particularly well . A terrific effort though .

Unless Denman reappears in the same form after his heart problem the GC looks wide open this year.

Fair point Ardross, and like I said I think the best horse won. I just do not think McNamara would have been so sympathetic to L'Ami if it was a non JP/Bolger horse in front.

I'm pretty confident that Denman should be grand.
