I only had money in boyles and jumped at the 50s. Went to put more money into it and paddy and both slashed!! Unfortunately no cash out but glad to grab a decent price!
That may have only been a handicap, but off his mark giving loads of weight away, Rouge Vif off a mark of 156 and smashing his opposition on the bridle, has just shown the Arkle form to perhaps be pretty decent.
Or a completely different beast on a decent surface, long way to go before that Arkle looks decent. Brilliant effort from Rogue thou love to see horses put it up off those ratings.
As said on Kevs diary, I wouldn't go OTT on Rouge Vif being hammered by PTKO & FD, because Rouge Vif definitely did not get his ground in the Arkle, in fact he done bloody well to manage 3rd, so the distance he was beat by is irrelevant, IMO.
Obviously the form was still franked, but I wouldn't go as far to say 'massively'.
Yeah been plenty in here crabbing the Arkle form but Rouge Vifs performance there suggests something very different, 66/1 is a nice price to grab but does it not just enhance the chances of PTKO ?
As for Rouge Vif's Arkle running, I've mentioned it a few times but we were with the owners on he day and they were very keen on his chances so they had him fit and ready for the Arkle, I've long held the view the front two (PTKO and Fakir) were very good but that isn't an opinion shared by many...

Agree with you Ista, same as Q, think that's a good form frank.

I must admit I'm a little more excited about the PTKO Tingle Creek bets now too...
Let's not get carried away though, as if any of them flop we'll get shot at.
