Gold Cup 2021

[Middle_Of_March]

Has anybody got a fuller quote from Johnson post race on DDS other than "he stopped quickly"

To me it looked like he needs his wind sorted. Stopped so quickly I instantly thought his breathing must need a proper look at.

[Middle_Of_March]

Yep, maybe he's just one of those that downs tools when he wishes. That's two really desperate ones in a row now though. If they don't find anything wrong he'll probably be given one more chance maybe.

Be very surprised if they’d give up after one more bad run.

Much more likely they’d give him the season off and come back October 2021 hoping he’s come to himself (like he did on his second start over fences after 18 months of running like a drain).

Yep, a possibility.

Defi for the 2023 Cross Country race

[FinalFurlong91]

Can anyone see a price for minella indo to win the savills and the gold cup?

If not think I'll request it

[Hurdles or chasing]

25/1 was a clear over reaction, when it could be the trip that's beaten him.

I'd have taken 25/1 straight away, being incredibly confident he got cut as it was an over reaction and then you get a free attempt at him up in trip next time.


Easy decision for somebody who plays ante post like I do. A no brainer it'd have been for me, but I understand your point

Id say if Defi is pulled up again cash out ill be taken away. That would be 3 bad runs in a row. They have already suspended a few of mine and taken a few out of the market that wouldn't have happened in previous years and I only see them getting tighter the closer we get to Cheltenham. Previous years yes but wouldn't be so certain this year

...I keep an eye on those markets but that’s not a bet I’ve seen.

Yeah it could be... I still would have chanced it though this time.

We've had it very good with cashout, it'll come to an end within a few years or they'll work out what the punters advantage is and take it away, and we'll find something else

Santini and A Plus Tard both pulled out of Betfair Chase.

Defi is such a frustrating horse, he was awesome when he won the triumph, then basically had a year of running like sh*t, then came back and looked amazing again, now hes back to being sh*t. Maybe he's just an in and out horse i dunno. I have no doubt he will come back to form again tho, this just seems to be the pattern for him
