Absolute nonsense. It is unfortunate for Defi's backers, but if you want a guaranteed run for your money or your money back for a N/R always wait until final declarations. I wish mega owners and racing managers all had punters interests at heart, but they don't. That's the way it is.

Less than 24 hours between the horse being fancied and touted by connections (and halving in price) to becoming a non-runner (health warning - remember Binocular). All the stick that Mullins and Ricci get for giving an honest current opinion but some get away with it on a regular basis. I feel sorry for Hobbs.

Monday
Henderson downplays Jenkins' chance.
Hobbs/Berry boost DDS.
Guess how the prices go.

Tuesday
Guess how the prices go.
DDS now going to Ascot.
Guess how the prices go.

Yep, horses said to run in a certain race, then taken out, happend a lot of times, and vice versa (re Kicking King). Good point Archie.

Don't know. I don't buy into much of what these powerful people say. That's why, even if I thought he'd win, I wouldn't rush to back him based on Frank Berry's words. He's got history.

Yesterday I said he was an intended runner and he was, but we've looked at everything - the weight and him being a four-year-old - and it looks like Ascot will be better for him. It will be the two-mile-three race, the Ascot (Coral) Hurdle."

WTF He didn't know before he opened his silly effin mouth the Coral was an option..............wouldn't be my racing manager. This is the very reason Jonjo has kept his cards close to his chest for years
 
Paddy Power 1.73..he'd have been 1/10 for this before the lay off...Surely WPM wouldn't send him racing unfit after all this time....They said he was in great order..proof will be in the pudding
 
Not Bad????......Jezki in great form going into this has finished a mile ahead of the others (one fell when well beaten)

You wouldn't know he has been off brilliant performance
