    instead of looking round so much just fucking concentrate on getting your horse to jump haha

    • Tried to dog it didn't he, old Midnight.
      Was about to say what a good ride that was from Barry, very positive, then he starts looking through his legs more than once.

      • I get no pleasure from seeing a horse fall and hope all well

        HOWEVER I stand by my previous posts , not fluent in jumping department ( fotget the engine )

        It’s been coming

        A lot of people looking through rose tinted glasses

        • Even before the fall he slows down too much into his fences to be winning this; still not keen on Geraghty looking behind for dangers when he’s on such a sketchy jumper though, keep focussed on the fence in front

          • Champ was in the middle of putting up a brilliant performance. This might sound silly, but that has enhanced my view of him.

            • The fall was unlucky, as the horse took another stride when barry asked him.
              Looked excellent till that happened.

              • Not the best from Geraty, you can say what you want about him but you could see he was struggling to make champs mind up coming down to that fence.........forget champ no knowing what to do, Geraty had no idea what to do at that fence

                • i feel hes got no chance in an RSA even as a backer at 10s

                  Hes going to be in amongst horses and being prone to mistakes as much as he is, theyre going to prove very costly.

                  • He was low at a couple but other than that jumped well in the main.

                    Have to say BG looked very indecisive as to what to do!

                    Race was in the bag.

                    • Have to say that was a shocker from Barry G on Champ. 2 looks behind him approaching the second last then gets it all wrong! Horse looks to have an engine though and I wouldn’t be marking him down on that.

                        I actually agree.

                        Geraghty gave him a poor ride, IMO. No need to ask for that at the penultimate. A slower pace over a longer trip where he can afford to take more time at his fences will suit IMO.

                        I still think he has a good chance in the RSA. Although I think Slate House has an excellent chance if it comes up soft.

                          Brilliant staying performance?

                          Or.........

                          • Looked like we were going to see a good performance there. His jumping has been the question mark the whole time. Price has always been horrendous because of that, and i'll stand by it.

                              • What a shame. More questions than answers now. Would love to see how he came up the hill.

                                Was starting to jump better as the race went on as well. Seems better when he attacks his fences to me.

                                Think the pace of the RSA will suit his jumping better though, although he's still not one for me at this price in a Championship race,
