Road To The 2013 QM Champion Chase

Watching some of the coverage, I think people have got a little ahead of themselves re Sprinter Sacre. I think and hope he will win very well, but I am not taking it for granted. He will have to run well, and probably come off the bridle for the first time to beat SE. He hasn't faced anything this good thus far (Arkle field was excellent though).

I might not even watch the race. Sprinter's home with his feet up...:)
 
Not a penny on the race (apart from a small sf) but that makes up for Boston Bob. So amazing.

Amazing. SE is a very good 2m chaser but he made him look like a donkey. That says it all.

He is the best horse I have ever seen or will ever see.
 
No one will ever convince me Sprinter Scare is not as good at 2 miles as Arkle was at 3m2f

That was the most breathtaking performance I have seen in my lifetime.

Like most I thought he'd win but not like that. They'e gone a furlong clear of the rest and he's still made a great horse look ordinary
 
No complaints about the result-very glad that Sizing finished second and not one of the horses that were ridden from way off the pace.
 
Wow, wow, wow, wow, I thought that was going to be a decent yard stick against sizing Europe and I think the fact that Geraghty did that with pipe and slippers is frightening. I'd love to see him pushed next year just to see him in full flight. Wow wow wow
 
They did on RUK.. Made no difference, although it will to the debate about what rating he will deserve :)

Flemenstar will be the best 2m chaser this side of the water. Be great to see them two lepers clash

Not really, Sprinter Sacre would do the exact same as what he just did. Flemenstar is good, but not quite at SE's level.

Agree completely.

I would like to see Walsh and Johnson given a few days as they didn't try an inch.
 
He did. Gave me hope Wishfull Thinking would catch him.

I backed SE to place in running @ 2.12 and got out at 1.41 in case he got involved in a battle.

Unless I missed something. I thought Wishful was having a school round. Was he riding in the hope of both falling or riding purely for 3rd place. I'm probably being harsh.
