  • Not seen it mentioned anywhere but did we ever hear of champ’s racecourse school last week or because of the weather didn’t happen in the last fortnight?

    Surely if he had his school we would of heard Hendo comment how great he was. Bit concerning on both fronts for champ backers A) they haven’t managed to get a proper racecourse gallop into him, B) if he has had one it’s very quiet and maybe didn’t perform.

    I obviously think A but just thought it was worth mentioning considering he fluffed the entries for his prep run.

    • Hendo - “The rest of the Cheltenham squad are all doing well and Barry Geraghty came in on Thursday to sit on a few of JP’s including Champ who we had hoped to school but there was so much snow we were forced to abandon that mission because it all gets clogged up and compacts in their feet which makes it impossible to do anything, but all of his schooling had been done anyway as he’s been away to a racecourse and jumped 10 fences over two miles with Theinval as his lead horse and he was excellent. We did school a few others this morning including Altior, Santini, Pentland Hills and Shishkin who were all very good.”

      • Cheers TR.

        When did he mention this, was this his unibet blog?

        Strange it wasn’t on atr or racing post as normally when a fancied horse does a gallop we here of it.

            Elliott’s stated on an interview with Ben from sporting life that Samcro goes Marsh

                    True but it's factually correct, in that he said it!

                      That's what I was thinking, but think I'm finally admitting defeat, Allaho is coming here!

                        He definitely said it.

                        • Cracking renewal if we get Champ, Allaho, Minella Indo, Easy Game and Copperhead here. Will make it more impressive when Champ scoots away around the bend

                          • I think this race on paper looks one of the best races of the Festival. With Pym, Slate House and Black Op still looking to be involved this could be an epic. It could be a brilliant race and I think like last years RSA will be a tightly run finish. Just imagine if Champs jumping has massively improved and Allaho’s stamina has come on. I can’t call it

                              • They surely can’t all go here!

                                This reeks of the Mullins stable trying to manipulate the markets to get some prices they like before decs.
