    Pfft, that's an insult to the mighty Saint Kevisboss



    ...but yeah, he does, you're right.

      I'd be willing to put my neck on the line and say hes better than st calvados. And I'd go as far to say he's very good. I backed the 2nd yesterday who'se a nice horse that was plotted up, and also mentioned him last year(sully doc) in this thread. As the next st calvados himself. And hes been absolutely murdered.

      Hes not a cheap buy for venitia that's luckily come good. Hes actually a private sale that was very highly rated by macaire and revely. I just personally thought they'd over hyped to sell. But macaire has said himself he has to sell the good ones, for people to keep coming back and paying the big fees.

        Im not sure how sustainable that will be at the very top flight. If I compare that to fakir who has a similar technique of being quite low but he was much better over his fences and just as quick.......maybe I'm just jealous because I didn't get any of the 50/1
        He had no problem with the huge French fences, he's found these easy, and hurdled them. Its and advantage imo, hes wasting no time at all.

            Might end up following Quevega here and adding at 33/1

            Don't mind having a fairly risk free attempt at landing the Mullins no.1 in the race and I'd be annoyed if I missed it just because it wasn't as high profile.

              Hopefully that's right...

              Ultimately, Saint Calvados didn't get the job done with his ideal condiotions. Poor ride on the day doesn't paper over all the cracks.



              It was really likeable, and as per my ante post thread I'm now on him for a decent return.

                  Yeah he jumps really quickly, I'm not backing for the JLT - sticking with the gut.

                  • Hope JOB indicates 2m is the plan now. The way Samcro swept round beside Fakir leaves me in little doubt 2m round Cheltenham would be perfect for a horse that jumps fences like Fakir

                      My thoughts exactly. The arkle also looks more winnable to me, even at this early stage

                      • Agreed. Im not backing him as think it will be difficult for him with no allowances come March, but he looks the perfect Arkle type.

                            I wouldn't discount Melon with the weight turnaround.

                                Yep, willie will be having a rethink I reckon.
                                although today was a proper race
