    Will Sir Gerhard be declared ?

    You'll need to get this right or else you'll be banished to the 2nd Division and The Racing Forum.
    no....

    more unlikely due to him disappointing twice at Punchestown aswell, albeit that could be due to being post fez aswell.

      Rubbish game.

      But if Willie says they're all likely to be declared then that's good enough for me.
      I'd imagine at least 1 or 2 might not end up lining up for some reason but we'll see.
      It would only take something very minor when you have 4/5 others in the race.

      If he is declared, I won't be backing him. That's for sure.

      • Cheers.

        If he does run I hope he keeps up his 100% desperate record at Punchestown and gets stuffed and re routed down the Chasing road.

        Hopefully he'll not be in tomorrow's declarations.

        Personally I don't think he will.

        Think Saldier will surprise them all by the way....

              They have. Ruby confirmed it on last weeks RTC. Said he'd schooled but Willie was undecided still. State Man likely to stay over hurdles.

              • State Man would have to be the pick of Willies for the Morgiana in my eyes - I like Vauban but asking him to beat those as a 4yo would be a huge ask. If he is up to it he could be pretty special.

                Would be shocked if all 6 were declared but lets see!

                • If a horse loses a shoe in running how (much) does this affect it's performance?

                    Hard to say really.
                    Depends when it happens ? on what foot ? if he lands on a stone whilst running ? if it hurts ? the horse's pain threshold ?
                    I could go on.
                    I think it's fair to say it has some impact, but this could be major or minimal.
                    It's guesswork, although connections would have a better idea as they could examine the feet after the race etc.

                      I think the value is around 60 quid which I’d be more than happy for them to donate to the IJF, but I do want my 26 points back !
                      Best of luck getting yours resolved….
                      Finally heard back from Sport Nation.

                      I had about 40 points worth of Free Bets due back to me
                      They have credited me with 8x5pt Free Bets.

                      I just need to use them wisely on selections to be settled before 30th November.

                      Free-rolling weekend!!


                      Hopefully you will get yours back Ista....

                        • The Mares Chase division is just screaming out for a horse like ADV or TMSG to just step up grab it by the horns. The mares from last year were so poor

                            Brilliant, glad it’s sorted for you, just turn them into a few quid now.
                            I’ve written mine off, I asked them to donate it to IJF but they said they can’t which is a shame.
                            Just waiting for the cash to transfer…

                              Completely agree

                              Anything half decent will wipe the floor with them

                              Elimay was good a couple of seasons ago bit she's barely a 145 mare now

                              And scarlet and dove is just solid

                                I'm going to keep pestering Gavin Cromwell to give Jeremy's Flame a crack at it
