  • Vautour shortened up by Betbright, obviously traders in his own company not convinced by Ricci assurances, can't trust him any more

      Should Betbright not always be worse price on Ricci horses ?

      They are now saying on twitter ( via a Galway Preview ) that Gangster beat Vautour in a piece of work last week,

        Not sure about Betbright MG, I would have thought they would be bigger on Vautour for this given Ricci's statement that he will run in the Gold cup or nothing, I must say recent comments have me feeling very negative on Vautour making it to the fez. Perhaps all this talk of training him for the Gold cup, whatever that means, is the wrong regime for the horse and this is why he's having problems.

        • Judged on what he has done at Cheltenham he is Pegasus - everywhere else his form makes him just a good and occasionally moody horse.

            Just trained for the day though, like so many from the yard, others can take a heavier programme and perform at the top of their game time after time, most can't, goes to show what a true phenomenon Hurricane Fly was

              Yep - I wonder did the King George bottom him this year.

                • Taquin De Seuil as short as 8's too, he would be interesting if back to his best, would jump most of the opposition into the ground, was an excellent winner of the JLT 2 years ago but disappointed in this last year, must be showing something at home for connections to have decided to go here rather than the handicap route

                  • Seems to be support for a Jonjo renaissance at the Festival. Id like to have seen a bit more evidence on racetrack but he has done it before.

                    • looks like vautour will be left in today

                      will be a nasty rule 4 if they decide to go to Gold Cup.

                      Maybe McCoys plea yesterday persuaded them all or was that the start of softening up process.

                      • Vautour runs here then, common sense has prevailed but this or the QM should always have been the target, another kick in the teeth for those who are all in for the Gold cup though

                        • Ive been taken for a mug along with every punter who believed Ricci, Mullins and co who have said all along Vautour was going for the Gold Cup.I have no problem with the horse going for the Ryanair or any race but the point is we punters have all been shafted and it leaves a sour taste in the mouth.Just watched Mullins trying to explain the decision on the morning line and even he was squirming trying to give the reason....total crap...and a bad way to start the festival for thousands of punters...

                              All true, and made worse by Mullins saying it was on his mind all along

                                It's disgraceful…in my opinion the worst part about festival horse racing is watching Mullins screw over the average punter year after year. Just be transparent
