  • Wonder if they might not persist over fences with him.

      • CP is a two miler, no doubt for me.

          How much was he again?
          700k or something wasn't it

          Was an excellent ride by the jockey on Gidleigh Park.

          This is why I rarely do roll ups anymore. My theory these days is if you need to roll up a horse then you can't think there's much value in the antepost bet. Otherwise you'd just place a single.

          Caldwell jumped and travelled well just not good enough. Can be no excuses. He's just not a grade 1 animal.

          will add this as another value loser to my long collection having gone from 6/5 to 4/6

          Value pays in the long run doesn't it

            Or maybe he just needs bottomless?

              Well the jockey said that earlier this season.
              So fair point.

                So we just get stuck into him in the depths of winter, and ignore him every other run. He's like the opposite of Langer Dan

                  I'd say he lost the race in the first furlong when he didn't lead.

                  The pace gidleigh set at the start ran the finish out of him.

                  can be no real excuses though. A Grade 1 animal wins that race. He's just not that good.

                  My 3.5pts pales in comparison to the 750k the owners have thrown in the bin.

                  A mind boggling fee when you consider the prize money in jumps racing and him being a gelding.

                  • Oh this is where I come and tell you all I told you so.
                    ...... Gidleigh park, not fast enough?

                      One of CP's owners picked David Moyes as his replacement so good sense and judgement might be lacking these days

                        Definitely fast enough to win that today.
                        Fast enough against top two milers though?

                          I'd just like to see him try now, think he's earned that.

                              Exactly. Horse and connections deserve a clear run and hopefully we get to see how what his level is. That was some Chepstow bumper ….Chris Gordon probably drove up thinking his fella was gonna pay for the curry that night
