If Native River or Frodon win a Gold Cup, I'm not playing anymore.
I genuinely believe Royal Pagaille has more chance....and he's easy to knock!
Frodon? Native River? Jeeeeeeeeez. I don't like either though, which some people won't like
and of course I don't mean they literally have no chance, NR is a GC winner and Frodon a Ryanair / King George winner.... so they're obviously really good.....
....so what I meant it..... I don't like them and won't back them
Surely something improves past them OR Al Boum is STILL better....Comment

I'm 0/11 in the Gold Cup... yup, I've never backed the winner of this damn race
So yeah. I'm just going to shut up on this threadComment

... and if I back Al, he will lose - trust me! lolComment

Frodon will get taken on by native river and that'll be that for his chances
If they go at it hard at the front Paul townend will likely have a big grin on his face
Meanwhile Coleman will be rowing away on HMS slowtini whilst Nico is picking himself up off the deck after champ headbutts a fence
At this stage I'm struggling to see past Al Boum or A plus tardComment

There's a simple way round this....Originally posted by opatcho View Post
Back every runner on the day, even for pennies, you'll have the winner, and no more hoodoo hanging over you, you'll be free forever!Comment

And just hope there's a decent priced winner for a profit on the race !Originally posted by ComplyOrDie View Post

I see Skybet have started doing place betting for individual races rather then any race. Santini is 15/8 to place. Form figures of 13212 at Cheltenham plus 3/3 placings at the festival.
Been slighly underwhelming this season but excuses can be made for all 3 runs. With the race falling apart I think it's a nice accy builderComment

If Frodon wins ITV will erupt into a sycophantic frenzy of a level never before seen in the universe we call home. It'd rupture the fabric of space and time, opening up a wormhole to another dimension and ultimately setting us on the path to Armageddon. Covid would be the absolute least of our worries.Comment

I wouldn't be worried about the profit, just getting the winner breaks the duckOriginally posted by Ice View Post

LOL... so here my hard luck story, or just piss poor ability to pick out the Gold Cup winners (as far back as I can remember)Originally posted by opatcho View Post
Come the fourth race, I dont what it is, but my brain packs up and heads off on his summer holidays... leaving my heart to work through the Gold Cup. I always appear to back the horse I would love to see win, instead of the horse thats most likely going to win.
2011 - Kauto Star to win big Place Acca. Pulled and Retired. Says it all
2012 - Sir Des Champs - 2nd
2013 - Bobs Worth - 5th
2014 - Silviniaco Conti - 4th, got suckered in, and didn't learn. Flat track/Kempton damn horse
2015 - Silviniaco Conti - 7th Told ya I didnt learn
2016 - Cue Card - F. Seriously though. FML
2017 - Cue Card - F. I'm an idiot
2018 - Might Bite - 2nd, OMG, thought I nailed it... f*cking ground!!
2019 - Clan Des Obeaux, what ever... backing flat track kempton horses again. Idiot
2020 - Clan Des Obeaux. WHY DONT YOU F*CKING LEARN!!!!!!
2021 - another loser
I will be honest here, I have backed Minella Indo at the odds, but only a small bet. It wont be my main bet, but when I do pick it, I'll make sure everyone knows so you can place lay itComment

Haha, so no backing Frodon.... or does the Ryanair negate the Kempton bit?Originally posted by opatcho View PostComment

If Frodon wins the Gold Cup, (bar a loose horse taking the whole field out) I will give up the gameComment
