"Aspire Tower ran really well in the Champion Hurdle and he seems to be in good form," said De Bromhead. "We haven't made any decision on him for next season but I'd imagine he might stay over hurdles, we'll see."

Big sound out and last call to any one who has not backed but is thinking of backing Galliard Du Mensil . Virtual walkover today so no doubt he'll be cut accordingly when he wins . Still a massive 33/1 with B365 for the RSA and a huge 25/1 with Hills for the Marsh. Happy Days !

Thanks for flagging Lobos. I already had him in the book for the RSA, and now covered the Marsh route as well. Didn't fancy the win today and any race at Cheltenham on Sky - 9/1!

Also 33/1 for the Stayers, if you think he'll remain over hurdles

...Hills now 16-1 Marsh. B365 25-1 FNC.

Still 10-1 a/r Hills: 8-1 a/r Sky.

Nothing special there, clearly wants further imo

Didn’t particularly like that Ruby asked the question in regards to dropping BACK in trip, but I’ll assume he is trolling us

Just seen in my emails an alert from sporting life tracker that Galopin Des Champs raced in France yesterday on the flat and trainer is now listed as S Lemetayer instead of Willie.

Sorry if iv missed it mentioned on here, Is this anything to be worried about or an error? Makes up quite alot of my antepost doubles/trebles etc be a bit of a blow to everyone no doubt if he had been moved back to France permanently.

Just watched the race replay, not only was it on the flat, it was bloody harness racing too!

First impressions are that neither 'our' Galopin Des Champs nor this version have any real distinguishing features, but the version we all know seems much darker in colour. Not easy to say for certain though, he never gets properly into the harness race so you don't get a proper look at him. Surely not though?!

Take a look for yourselves. Full replay didnt work for me but theres video of the finish which is around 1min long.

I feel like it would be all over the racing media if true and not seen a word of it

I checked the link above, the dam and sire of that GDC is different to the Mullins version.

Mullins GDC - sire=Timos, dam=Manon Des Champs (details from racing post)

French GDC - site=ouragan de celland, dam=nony de picanes (details from above link)

Either GDC had foster parents at some point or it's a different horse.

Scary as I have the proper GDC in a shit ton of multis for next march!

Just goes to show what i think of the French. Two fucking horses running in the same name and no fucker knows who's who. Just like a conception at a gang bang, Who's the daddy
