[Ardross]

Ok I am convinced !!! Crispesque performance !!!

I hadn't made my mind up but for me nothing touches this come march.

Top class

Full marks to Fist who has been on this like the proverbial stink on **** from the offset. 9/4 before the race for the Arkle looks like the price of a lifetime now. Peddlers who?

 

[Ardross]

Sprinter Sacre still 6-4 sounds rather generous.

 

[brendanr]

Where?

 

[Bar the Bull]

Savage. Fair play to those who have nice prices. I was this* close to backing him at 9/4 ante post before the race.

* I am holding my thumb and index finger very close together.

How close?

I have a semi after that. That was superb. I had a small bet at 9/4 the other day and now will be going in again at 6/4. My festival will hinge around this horse now id imagine.

 

[Grey]

That was very exciting.

 

[EC1]

they might run him in the CC..wonder if thats why he is 6/4 for Arkle..surely he should be odds on for the Arkle

 

[links781]

There would be a furore if they decide to go QM route as Francome suggested.6/4 won't be around for long.

 

[brendanr]

Good point. Come to think of it I'd run him in the CC the opposition wouldn't know what hit them and I do think SE is a very good 2 miler.
6/4 is with VC so no chance of getting on a really big bet

 

[On The Bridle]

The first to say "but what did he beat" gets a big slap!! That was unreal - -he was still fly jumping between the last two FFS. Cannot understand why he is odds against for the Arkle. Donald McCain has stained his tweeds!!

 

[links781]

I'm not up on times etc but is it right that he beat race record?

Peddlers has more chance champion hurdle route.

 

[On The Bridle]

Really? I keep checking my bets open page and it's still there so I assumed it was on.

William Hill the gentleman has paid out on the ante-post 5/4 bets!!!!!

 

[Bar the Bull]

6 to 4 here in Ladbrokes

Anyone on Twitter follow George Baker and look at the photo he has put up of Sprinter jumping the Ditch!! Look where he took off from!!

 

[trefflich]

Liked the way he shortened into the last when BJ didn't want a big one, that will stand him in good stead around Cheltenham. Super lepper as Ted would say! However, he is very headstrong...he couldn't keep a hold of him early on and had to let him stride out. There is a vast difference between Sandown and the undulations of Cheltenham. They may take their toll if he is right up there. I can see Peddlers and Al Ferof being fairly close at the line.

 

[Cruella]

Putting aside the sensibilities of AP punters...I would forget the Arkle and go CC route with him. It wasn't the strongest ever G2 but he was playing with them. I missed his first race so had just let the hype wash over me but that - that is a serious, serious horse.

 

[Ardross]

Sprinter Sacre is not entered in the CC.

[Euronymous]

At the track he looks better in the flesh than on the TV. So exciting.

 

[Bar the Bull]

How close?

Kauto - Imperial at Haydock close.

Kauto - Imperial at Haydock close.

Okay. You need to be clear on these things.

 

[Bar the Bull]

For anybody that didn't see the race, they were separated by a gee hair.
