You will always have a place in history as owners of Ruby's last ever winner. Well done both.

Great to witness ,delighted for you guys.
You could face any horse in King George Chase without fear , he has so much pace through the race.

 

[tiggers1972]

Great stuff fellas well done.

The stayers race today is a pretty poor affair.

 

[Desperate Dan]

What a marvellous day for you lads!

 

[trefflich]

Anyone looking for 2 reserved enclosure tickets today?

 

[wilsonl]

Congratulations guys, the stuff dreams are made of.

 

[granger]

How good are Supreme at sourcing these horses

 

[granger]

Chacun Pour Soi is been spoken off in very lofty terms

Very very impressive

 

[HawkWing]

Who will train him next year after Rich leaves Willie?

Loved how he picked up from the last to beat the proven stayer in Defi.

 

[granger]

Ricci balling his eyes out on RTE.

Charm offensive is on

 

[HawkWing]

'only wish Ruby was riding him' was a great pointless line.

 

[jinnyj]

Very very impressive

Absolutely even if he did beat my beloved!

Anyone know what reason he was on the sidelines for so long?

 

[Grey]

Richbags is probably miffed that Ruby didn't choose one of his for his last ride.

An exalted but deserved rating for Kemboy. Al Boum Photo's jumping is quick but also a bit scruffy, which cost him last week.

Paul said that ABP didn't give him the same feel as at Cheltenham.

As Ruby said, Kemboy was the better horse on the day but he may not be next March. However, he has now beaten the Gold Cup first, third and fifth so, the way the handicapper works, he's earned his mark. Of course the mark is meaningless because none of them will be running in a handicap anytime soon but he's won three of the eight G1 staying chases in the UK and Ireland and the other five were won by five different horses so he's run to a standard over a period of time rather than on just one day.

It's a pleasure and a privilege to have a small share in him.

 

[Grey]

Absolutely, a classy stayer, bringing you to all the big days. Just brilliant. May he stay sound and healthy.

Yes Paul Townend said he felt flat from the start and was very pleased the horse got so close to Kemboy in the circumstances .

One hell of an effort from Kemboy though especially after Aintree and Definitely Red was absolutely out on his feet after taking him on .

That Harry and Megan chose to name their first born after you only adds to the occasion Archie; surely a Supreme choice for a Supreme baby.
Another first for Talking Horses
