J.L.T Novices Chase 2019

Every result pleases someone. Nothing to do with whether the horse was brought down. You run that risk when you sit out the back. Im sure the posts would have been flying had WP won......

Cheering because a horse is almost brought down?

Hope you reap the rewards that being such a prick deserves.

Well said Tim.

Nope, don't rate WP myself, but can't be cheering any horse coming down.

doctorwu, that is incredibly poor taste

Think he's been told off enough now.

Poor form Tim. Whether you're talking through your pocket or not. I didn't want the horse to be brought down, but thats racing. I'd much rather he got beat on merit. At least we'd have closure on some of this deluded nonsense. Its a game of hard knocks and not a game for snowflakes.

Poor form, lol... That's rich, coming from you

Snowflakes? You'll be alright, cupcake.

I think I’m the only one (if not one of the few) who has held out some hope on Lostintranslation for this race. After the performance of La Bague Au Roi today, his debut defeat to her is not bad at all and he was in the mix against her before falling in their second meeting. It was mooted that Lostintranslation was heading towards The Dipper so Tizzard is still keeping the faith and aiming high with him. I still think he’ll improve throughout the season like last year as well, given his inexperience.

If he can improve on his jumping and eliminate those errors I see no reason why he can't be up involved, the form with La Bague is certainly holding out well at the moment!

[Kevloaf]

Is it horses like La Bague Au Roi that cause him to make those jumping errors?

He can probably pop around nicely when schooling, but jumping at pace is often the key factor in novice chases.... that'd be my worry with him. I wouldn't take for granted he'll improve the jumping when he's next tested.

Have to agree there Kev really, in all honesty it'll take a huge improvement in his jumping to cope with the jumping at pace. He seemed to grow as last year went on over hurdles so just hoping he's one of those who suddenly turns a corner, happy to be on any race @ 22s but can't say I would be expecting a win in this from him.

I keep circling back on the JLT as I think it's full of great value somewhere but just can't seem to bloody find it, half the market won't go here and the other half I just can't seem to get behind

If you watch both his runs back he actually matches her jumping most of the time and the only real mistake he’s made was in the second race that brought him to a stand still. I’ll forgive him that one as he’s had to race twice against a very good mare who goes a real clip.

I’d advise rewatching his chase starts. He’s made one mistake and for the best part jumped great.

Get that big old boat Kalashnikov up in trip

Good point, after his first run I was very encouraged with how he jumped, I think perhaps the big blunder has stuck in my head over anything else he did that second race which probably has clouded my view a bit. I see he's entered in the dipper new years day so will be a good chance to see him around Chelts, which over this distance I think could suit him well, so fingers crossed there are no big errors this time out.
