Jesus, hope Mighty Potter is alright, looked bad with him limping and getting a whack on the neck from another horse running past

Some run from Sir Gerhard, that silenced the doubters alright.Comment

I thought he was disappointing in coming second to Flame Bearer who is not a genuine Gr1 horse imo. He travelled really well and looked to have the race won but had nothing left again, even after Flame Bearer almost came to a standstill at the last.Originally posted by darlojim View Post
RIP Mighty Potter. Lost me loads again in being the only failed leg of roll ups but would happily take those losses and more for him to still be with us.Comment

He's lost to a horse that didn't travel across to the festival, was a fantastic run in defeat.Originally posted by Lobos View Post
Paddy probably being the difference between winning and losing imo - he's just sat up off him over the last 3 fences and hadn't been asked up at any of them.
He's finished clear of Appreciate It and way clear of Adamantly chosen and Authorized.
We've seen this week, front runners aren't really coming back to them and the winner was given a very canny ride on the front end.
He was light in the parade ring and on just his 3rd start over fences, it was a hugely improved effort on both his fencing and his performance in what has been quite the rushed season with him and there will be plenty to look forward to over the intermediate trip.Comment

The 33/1 boosted to 35/1 for the ryanair looks great value imoComment

Not sure if any of you have seen Elliot’s interview post mighty potter, lot of people unhappy with how he comes across, and I do agree myself he doesn’t seem emotionally attached to his horses like say hendo is, wether that is right or wrong with the business there in I’m not so sure!

Its part of the game unfortunately and he will have had to deal with this situation probably hundreds of times. IMO, he said what needed to be said in the aftermath and tried to move on from the situation. I think sometimes people want connections to be seen to be emotionally upset by incidents but they're meant to be leading their stable. I don't think anything was wrong with the interview myself :/Originally posted by MTR View PostComment

We forgot that was just SG's 3rd race in a chase, and his 2nd was thrown in at the deep end as we saw a month ago. I wonder at season end if Willie tells us he probably rushed him, after only getting the solitary run into him and that was late January. He's still a work in progress.Originally posted by darlojim View Post
Any news on where he'll be out next, Punchestown or is that it for the season?Comment

Didn’t see much wrong with the interview myself, obviously gutted to lose him but racing goes on. People want him to break down on live tv?Originally posted by MTR View PostComment
