Sandown Gold Cup day

[LUKE]

This isn't meant as I backed the second but this media blitz about what a great ride it was from Murphy is wide of the mark - the horse couldnt go any faster earlier, and simply kept staying late on when others faded (to different degrees) - Murphy had the horse as far forward as he could at all stages - that's simply the horse and there wasn't a blind bit of difference Murphy could do!

It reminded me of Ruby on Dun Doire at Cheltenham a few years ago.I suppose it's legitimate to ask if it was genius or dictated by circumstance in both cases.One thing I will say is that Timmy did absolutely nothing wrong and in my honest opinion I don't know how many of the top ten jockeys would have won on him.

Absolutely mental days punting.

Agreed! Wannabe King and Edgewater were strong fancies for me later in the day on the flat but spent too much time thinking about the Gold Cup. Well done all the Poker players lol (excuse the pun).
