The 2025 December Gold Cup Handicap Chase

f%*& me but Cheltenham is a heart breaking track. I'm pocket talking but JPR One deserved that

Jagwar was just annoying. The jumping, positioning and then coming up the rail all added up to losing a race he should have been winning easily.

Jonjo jr isn’t particularly brilliant

He's desperately average. He tends to look good when he wins on one with stones in hand.

He's quite a leggy horse that I imagine takes a bit of balancing over a fence and to get that stride spot on. Wouldn't be every one's ride.

Even more annoying was Vincenzo not winning. I had it in a yankee with David's Well (6/4), Carlenrig (5/1) and Lanesborough (9/4). It would have been a reasonably tidy return.

I agree. I've never seen him as a positive. Not always a negative but never a positive.

 

[Danny]

You have to wonder about the hold him up out the back Jagwar tactics.

Completely agree.

That sums it up.
