              I've said previously. I'm very much against his prospects from a historical and trainer point of view.
              However, the triumph form seems ok.
              And these odds are very fair, as he is beating pretty much every single UK contender apart from The clear Favourite.
              And I've not been convinced with the Irish horses we've seen so far.

              Fully expect that this is a losing bet and have backed Song for Someone & Silver Streak against him tomorrow.
              But a nice saver it would be if he is all that.
              wasted a point on the special but it was good value, but it's a shame he looks a busted flush as he looked really promising in the triumph.

Goshen was about to be the most impressive Triumph winner since Our Connor yes, but he fell at the last so therefore he didn’t. Aspire tower wasn’t right on triumph day so I wouldn’t delve into that form too deep. First time stepping into open company will find Goshen out. SFS is the improving horse and I like the way he can stay over a further distance. It sounds harsh but I don’t trust Moore to train him on from a juvenile into open company.

                  • Still annoyed betfairs shitty systems cost me getting on song for someone at 350-1

                    • The Triumph, a race I do no like. I personally feel it ruins 4 year olds, and the handicap and hype kills any chance they have the following year when they do into open company

                      Goshen, I do feel for connections as it’s a bitch they never got their day in the sun and now they’re left with a bust

                      • Something definitely amiss with him. Too bad to be true that.

                        • Delighted with that. Backed the winner ante post, and was proven right about Goshen.

                          • That was possibly worse then his flat runs. He should be race fit really. He seems to be emptying out really quickly when it comes to the business end of the race? Wonder if there’s a breathing issue or something ?

                            • Be interesting to hear Jamie's comments on that. Seemed to get warm before the race and was gassed before the race really unfolded

                              • Well that’s put the Goshen argument to bed!!
