Savage ride from Ruby.

Congratulations, TOUT SEUL and others who were on Champagne Fever.

Isn't he good accurate and quick jumper.

Was it the hill or a shortage of grit that found the favourite out?

i think he got outstayed..set a decent pace ..could tell us a lot for the CH.

Savage ride from Ruby.

brilliantly judged..superb

 

[Cruella]

I think a little bit of credit is due to the winning jockey too, for a perfectly judged ride ....................... although giving credit might be a little much to ask from the couple of Ruby-haters on here.

Proud to sign in as a Ruby fan, and you're right - he took advantage of a true galloper who stays further and judged the fractions to perfection.

Partly the hill, partly a better horse, I wouldn't fault the runner up's determination.

 

[chroniclandlord]

It wouldn't surprise me if we have just watched the 2014 Arkle winner beating the 2014 Champion Hurdler.

Superlative ride from Ruby, in what may prove one of the strongest run races of the whole Festival. Simply took the sting out of the finishers.
First 3 in the market filled the first 3 places though, which promises well for the rest of the week.

Have to really like how the first 4 pulled so far clear. First and third will likely re-oppose at punchestown

 

[Steve T]

Was Un Atout 4th?

It was. Puffin Billy 5th for Hills punters.

That was what really impressed me Granger.

Could be as good as al ferofs supreme.Irish form head n shoulders.Pont Alexandre must be a beast

 

[sunybay]

not a bad boost for Rule The World either

 

[treetangle]

Just a thought. Had they have known the real state of the ground would they still have gone for this race?

Does it matter? He won, on quicker ground, thanks to a great ride and being a very good horse. You were pretty damning about him beforehand, bit of humility wouldn't hurt.

You'd hardly take that literally? I like RTW regardless.

What's your problem? I have already congratulated the person I had the discussion with.

If my aunt had balls...

MTOY is a monkey. I defy anyone to tell me otherwise after looking at his last two bumper starts last year. Doesn't like it put up to him which it undoubtedly will in the supreme. Think Willie will do it, possibly Pique Sous if genuine good ground ala that horse who should have beaten Like A Butterfly! that's my tuppence worth anyway lads....Bon nuit

Told you he was a monkey...

 

[Hamm]

What a bizarre comment to make.

 

[trefflich]

How bizarre?

 

[EC1]

Told you he was a monkey...

i don't think the horse showed himself to be that tbh..he just got outstayed... still beat Jetski

 

[Hamm]

He battled superbly but was beaten by a better horse.

 

[chroniclandlord]

I thought that none of the first three could be faulted for their performance.

 

[Euronymous]

Totally agree. What bumpers have to do with anything I have no clue.

 

[Sheikh]

I agree with the views on Powers ride, distinctly average. best jock won.
