    • Asked for one horse whom he felt was his best chance in one of the Cheltenham handicaps, Elliott said: “Imagine in the Martin Pipe. If he runs, he will have a great chance.”

      Explains the price dropping

          • More money about for Spanish Harlem today. Perhaps Willie having a rethink after the weights were revealed?

              4 lbs lower than Imagine and was 4L behind him when they met.

              I think I said on the pod we did, but hes got an obvious chance, just not sure why he's gotten 'so short' .... but you could say that about Imagine now too.

                  Yeah fair enough...I suppose, I get it.... that's the kind of thing 5 years ago on here would get highlighted and it be under the radar, and now it's not, so I reject it

                  • I’ll eat my cap on the Friday if Spanish Harlem wins the Martin Pipe, he looks a nothing horse to me, no tactical speed & not enough stamina either, It’ll take a Blow By Blow esque robbery to get his head in front in the finale imo.

                      Galopin Des Champ didn't look any better prior to his Pipe demolition job.

                          No, he was 7lb higher though.
                          135 for a Mullins horse in a handicap is quite rare.

                            They are night & day in comparison, Galopin has been consciously campaigned at 2m & probably would have blown his mark at Limerick had he not been under the weather. Spanish Harlem has been exposed for being an in between distances battle shirker!

                              what?



                              They don't just blanket give Mullins horses ratings? Loads of his horses would be in the 130's, when that's how good they are?!



                              He's 135, cos that's what he is? Unless he's got 10lbs in hand.... my point is, I don't see what he has "in hand".... I see his case, as I like Imagine.... but he's just fair..... both are "too short" now





                              Being 135 is moot overall.

                                Think it's more about Spanish Harlem being talked about all season and everyone focussing on and analysing his performances whereas Galopin was completely under the radar and no one gave a hoot about him.
