  • Am I reading too much into this that Harry Cobden has opted to ride Cyrname in the King George, instead of CDO? Just maybe, does PN think Cyrname is that good and he wants HC on board for the KG for continuity into the GC. I realise STD rode CDO in the KG last year but generally HC would be on board the stables best horse....

    • HdB has said that with travel to UK banned until year end, that Monalee may take on Al Boum Photo at Tramore.

        As STD is on CDO, I'd say you're reading too much into it.

        That's just the most logical way of doing it.... even if Harry had the option, which isn't clear, it doesn't mean he'd get it right either.

        It tells me they think Cyrname has more chance than Real Steel - no more than that.

        He could probably kick up a fuss if he was desperate to ride CDO, but that isn't a clear cut choice as the betting suggests depite being a dual winner.

          He thinks he has improved again and he obvs fancied him last year when saying he ran no sort of race so felt no need to desert him. Tough call and i think he would get even more stick if he was to jump back to CDO and Cyrnname went on to win it

            Tramore will be hoping they are allowed fans in!

            • Saw the racing post article & instantly thought ah bollocks. Suddenly that 8/1 ABP tramore & GC not looking such good value, for all he really should beat Monalee at a course he obviously thrives on

                Forget that......as you were. Sarcastic comment from some geezer on twitter apparently.
                How did you fall for that one?

                  I know. Someone put another up yesterday saying Santini had been supplemented. No way am I falling for it twice !

                        It might actually be the best staying chase ever, without hindsight
                        certainly from an interest perspective.
                        I wouldn't know where to start from a betting pov

                        • Best race of the season no doubt, would be great to see Allaho come back with a good run.

                              • Without doubt the best race of the season so far. Took a flyer on Fakir D'oudaries at a huge price.
