  • Real steel, dolcita, Stormy Ireland all now with Paul N. He reports 12 or so from Jared have joined him https://betting.betfair.com/horse-ra...-230720-9.html

    • Jared doesn't half like a fall out! Some coup for Paul there.

          With current travel restrictions, and an uncertain future to pass through for racing and travel, it makes sense to have all their horses back here.

            A very good point. Could quite easily be an all English festival next year if the dreaded virus makes a comeback of sorts.

              The culture today means the opinions and conjecture equate to the same as the facts.


              Scary and frustrating.

                Correct but understand he has also taken horses out of Olly Murphys yard and moved them to Paul too. So maybe a bit of having them all back with Paul too.

                  ...Real Steel ran a cracker at the Festival. I was hoping for a fancy a/r price for next year but the best I can see is 12-1 with Hills, I suppose Ryanair is its most likely destination.

                  I actually backed it for the King George at 45-1 some months ago on the back of it being highlighted by Mark Howard. That race surely looks more likely now and 33-1 is still available.

                  • 33/1 looks a cracking bet for King George could see it being a smallish field so tempted to do ew.

                      I've backed this myself this afternoon.

                      It does seem a bit crazy because really I think I know Real Steel isn't good enough to win the King George, but with the target, Gold Cup run (which to be fair he only was beaten 7.25L despite CLEARLY not staying 3m2f?) Better form right handed? Only 3.75L behind Min over 2m4f?



                      Don't want to go off topic though in the Cheltenham ante post so I'll copy and paste here:

                      • I read it as Real steel ran a cracker in the Gold cup .
                        If Jared get's what Jared want's , surely it's gold cup again ??.

                          Well if he does, I'll make my money back place laying him in March.


                          However, backing him to win the King George at 33/1 certainly isn't a negative if the owner does want him in the Gold Cup later that season?

                          • Gord just dropped 400k on Grand Roi from the Million in Mind dispersal. Hacked up in a average maiden and juvenile after being turned over in the NYD bumper at Cheltenham.

                            Interested to see where he looks to take him - one for the Pipe perhaps given novice status has been lost?

                              I know I'm boring but this far out with any of Gordon's handicappers just do them TWAR. They will have multiple targets right up until a few days before the Fez.

                                Nah not for me! Same thing could happen to DDP then skip it all together!
