RSA Chase 2019

[barizan]

You could also say Santini's Newbury form is equally poor and subsequently he looked slow and was never really competitive at Kempton. He only plodded on once the race was over.

The line 'horses for courses' sticks out to me here.

Had the same with Melon in the Supreme a few years back.

My take and I could be wrong, is the bookies did their usual Monday morning market adjustment which resulted in them pushing Santini out to 4s and others in. Pretty sure they reacted first before the exchange. That then prompted some hysteria and plenty of rumours and then it's like a run on the bank with everyone trying to lay off, until it looks like the horse is ok and faith is restored. He's settled for the time being at least around 5/1 on the machine which is what you would expect when you can get 4s with the likes of Hills and 365

Chapman just reported that henderson has told him it lost a shoe yesterday and had a poltice on over night.

Like deja vu with altior last year.
mmmm

Santini lost a shoe yesterday and our vet poulticed it as a precautionary measure. I have been away from the yard today but have spoken to my staff and they report him fine and we see no reason why he won’t run in the RSA. Should that change, I will update accordingly.

GE says he wants to run Champagne Classic in the 4 miler but the owner says it runs in RSA, in which GE says he has no chance.

GE: Champagne Classic good chance in 4 miler. Michael wants to run him in RSA but sure he'd have no chance.




22/1 NRNB with lads.... that won't last

Nice one Kev, if ever there was a horse for any race this was the one. Been chasing him all over the place this last few weeks, at least at NRNB it’s not so painful. Both Laddies and Coral only allowed 15 quid

Santini still a doubt for Cheltenham, but very "hopeful of making the RSA" according to Henderson's twitter

[FaugheenTheMachine]

Santini still “sore and quite lame” today
