Road to the 2013 Gold Cup

[granger]

Bog Warrior?

 

[Tanlic]

May not run in the World Hurdle if the ground dries up too much . Some rain forecast Friday and he could run.....but even the 51 on the machine wouldn't tempt me

 

[LUKE]

SDC will be treading water after the last. Great horse, but Flordida Peardle all over again.

Just comparing and contrasting the careers of Bobsworth and SDC tonight.My interpretation is that Bobsworth has beaten better horses and won better races.He is guaranteed to stay but I am not 100% certain that SDC will.

 

[Dave G]

Davy Russell has a collapsed lung. No ride on SDC for him Friday then.

 

[EC1]

really like Davy..a real shame..a top bloke

 

[granger]

Cooper most likely. Unless he gets jocked off for Townend

Cooper most likely. Unless he gets jocked off for Townend

I've just wondered about that on the other thread.

 

[chroniclandlord]

If Ruby had had the choice of SC and SdC, I wonder which he would have picked.

Sir des Champs

 

[Euronymous]

The way Nicholls are running no doubt.

If it pisses down tonight it's surely between Bob's Worth and Long Run.

 

[Bobbyjo]

Surely it has to be Townend on SDC....

 

[chroniclandlord]

I'd have thought Townend myself.

 

[granger]

Townend is better than Cooper right now

If its Mullins call he will go PT, if the owners decide they will prob pick Cooper

 

[chroniclandlord]

No decision until tomorrow morning.

 

[sunybay]

Cooper and Townnend are ok
but I imagine the owner will put Cooper on the horse

 

[SteveM]

It's all turned to crap for me today, with Cue Card providing my only return, after a couple of half decent days... Long Run needs to come through for me now.

 

[Bobbyjo]

Rumour going around the track that McCoy could switch to SDC

 

[granger]

Rumour going around the track that McCoy could switch to SDC

Really?

 

[Bar the Bull]

Is that allowed? Sounds unlikely to me.

 

[EC1]

Lester would have

 

[Bobbyjo]

Seems unlikely to me too - rumour mill is often wrong

Interesting they are taking until the morning though, would suggest they are considering something different. I assume a change is allowed - even if it's from one trainer to another?

 

[chroniclandlord]

BHA have said that if Sunnyhillboy remains in the race McCoy cannot switch.

 

[EC1]

at least that one stays

 

[SlimChance]

Is Boston Bob a lay here? Could Sir Des go off fav?

 

[Tanlic]

Cue Carr did me a huge favour so I'm not quite in the same position but if Long Run wins let's do a few verses of "We are the Champions together"
