Horses you never forgave and couldn’t like

Last time I backed Harchibald was he broke my heart on day one of Cheltenham 2005.
Singles, doubles and a treble on Arcalis @ 33/1 Contraband @ 9/1 I think and Harchibald at 5/1..... and for a real kick in the nuts Ihad backed Hardy @ 40/1 when he won the CH the year before.
 
I always think bridle ponces like Harchibald unfairly get a bad name. Harchibald might be a bad example as perhaps he just didn't like to go past the one in front of him. But surely a horse that finds nothing off the bridle is a horse that's been giving his all of his own accord and has nothing left to give ? A horse who keeps finding for pressure though is somehow talked about as being brave where as isn't he just a lazy sod keeping plenty for himself ?
 
Dawn Run for the first mare’s allowance and catching dear Wayward Lad up the hill.

I think those desperately hard races in the Cheltenham and Punchestown Gold Cups broke Bravemansgame.
