  • If Venetia and Willies gdc both go 3m then Bob is gunna be very short. Anyone know anywhere that’s pricing up horse to go of the shortest price this year?

      I guess PT is on GDM then. Uh.

      Haven't been keeping track of things the last few days, but I've always hoped that Willie would leave GDC in both races at the 6 day stage, Henry would take Bob out of the RSA at the same stage, then Willie would look at the race and confirm GDC for the RSA at the 48 hour stage... still a chance?

      • Who snaffled 25/1 for L'Homme Presse here?

        Asking for my ego.

          I'm just completely baffled by it all. Have tried not to get involved in too many Willie won't he debates, so just stayed steadfast in my belief that GDC comes here but feel a bit like an ostrich sticking his head in the sand ATM. Then again, I can't really cover him to any decent amount anyway with the way I bet so just gotta hope and what will be will be!

            Exactly how I feel.
            I only have GDC in this as singles, doubles, acca's etc...

            Nothing I can do, but sit and wait.

            I am also hoping that Willie keeps him in both at 6 day stage and HdB keeps BobO in the Turners ONLY

            Fingers crossed!!

            • It’s incredibly frustrating I agree. I was far too flippant that he would run here and that would be that. Regardless of what ultimately happens I was wrong in that regard. Having said that, I still for the life of me can’t get my head around it for all sorts of reasons. Maybe nothing has actually changed but all the talk on the preview circuit has basically disregarded he’s even in here and it’s really starting to feel like a done deal.

                I was the same. What baffles me even more is the preview circuit seems to be almost unanimous in Bob beating him in the turners, which id absolutely love tbf

                  Yeah him running in the turners has the potential to really f*** me in the arse as it could torpedo not 1 but 2 good bets that looked like they might otherwise be tap-ins be some thrill at least, and even if bob can’t beat him, I’ll be cheering on the rest of the field vs him as punishment for deserting me in the RSA

                    I’m holding out hope that BO being a talking horse again will sway them the other way. That being said, shit in one hand, hope in the other, see which one fills up first

                      I'm in exactly the same boat, so frustrating but nothing i can do.

                          Not sure there’s ever been a horse so many Fat Jockeys collectively have in the wrong race.
                          Who would have thought a horse who powered up the hill last year over 20f and followed that up with a
                          demolition of a G1 field over 3m at Punchestown would be dropping back to 19.5f a year later.
                          I’m staggered….

                            You aren’t the only one. All I can say is, if GDC does go Turners as it now looks like, I’ll be booing him at the start, and cheering Bob from the Guinness stand…

                              Listening to Barry Geraghty today on Off The Fence. Whilst making a case for him to win the Turners, saying how hard he hit the line at DRF over 2m5f … I mean … it’d be funny if it wasn’t actually happening.
