  • I want him in my book too, but that Exchanges picture is a red flag, I might take the 12/1 NRNB as a precaution

      Ordinarily I’d agree, but I clearly recall a very similar picture about this far out from the Marsh last season where his exchange price was significantly bigger than available with the bookies. I clearly remember as I part cashed him in part because of this as thought it must show something was up (on the back of his hammering by Faugheen). It feels pretty similar this season in that he has been pretty lacklustre so far and last ran at the wrong trip. I think I’d still prefer to see some signs of life in the market before getting too involved but I wouldn’t be too concerned at the moment.

      • Yes exactly the same this time last season HF. People were speculating about the RSA, and I suppose the same is happening with the Gold Cup. Gordon knows he won’t stay, and is prepping him with the same break as last season.
        Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.

            100% you'd think. They tried different tactics today, don't think they'll stick to them.

            He'll be battling his stable mates out the front

            • Patrick saying that Allaho may just be a G2 horse beforehand - stirring the pot again, or being brutally honest?

                  Probably true?

                  With hindsight, was the RSA last year that good?

                    Certainly not looking as good now as i thought it was at the time.

                      It isn't looking like it. Really disappointed with Indo today. Patrick just isn't someone I expect to hear singing the truth...

                        Cant see that happening Charlie. GC all the way imo

                        • Doesn't say a lot for the race if the favourite really is a group 2 horse !

                            Really?!
                            • Held up in rear, mistake 7th, minor headway before 8th, disputing third 9th, soon went third, close up disputing third after 4 out, pushed along on outer 2 out, soon no extra, lost position approaching last, ridden and no impression run-in

                            That ain't a Gold Cup runner is it?

                            Last of 5 today, out stayed.... when thre is a much more suitable race, and the owners already have the GC fav?


                            I'm surprised it's even a question now...

                            • Other than Sizing John the Irish Gold Cup is hardly a key race of late for The Gold Cup. Not long to wait.

                                Eh? He doesn't stay. They've tried leading, doesn't work. They've tried coming off the pace, didn't work. Owner has short priced fav, you spread your horses. I'd have him strongly to come here and very unlikely GC at this stage
