2023 Gold Cup

So, declaring him for the Durkan was just a cunning ploy?

Henry on RTV just now saying they identified some sort of allergic reaction with APT and he's been schooling really well since, so they hope that's that and he has a good chance of going to the Savilles.

Going to take the 10/1 whilst it's still there

Yep, done likewise. Far too big and although it still feels chancey, Henry isn't the type to bullsh1t.

Willie just said that they've been told they're aiming to run the Durkan on the 19th. He namechecked it as still first choice for GDC but there would be Leopardstown at Christmas, Tramore and the DRF as other options and he'd like to get 2 runs in before Cheltenham.

Paddy's have cut Stattler to 12-1 (prev 16-1) today and pushed Capodanno out to 25-1 (prev 14-1)

Capodanno been weak on exchange last few days also.
No xmas entries.
The Savills at Tramore on NYD will be interesting when the entries for that come out.
Don't look good though.

I think Gold Cup slips on Capo are probably gone.
(thought that the minute I saw the Christmas entries)

That narrows down Willies options a little for this years race.

Galopin and Stattler probably are in the stables no1 and no2 spots for it.

Think it was a boulder not a stone.

It was mentioned recently Q, and someone said ., about not needing the winter ground , maybe one run - d.r.f. .
or something like that ... But of course , he might just not be cutting the mustard .
Only 6y/o , so will be on my gold cup list for next year if this year is a wipe out..

Mark Howard updated in November he was getting his wind sorted (Capo not Mark) or words to that effect plus a dislike for winter ground meant he'd be held back. However, that doesn't really explain the recent odds drift so could be more to it than that now.

I thought he'd run at Tramore on new years day, ground permitting. Like ABP.
I'll wait and see the entries for that.

Stattler not entered in the rearranged John Durkan now, maybe he’s been earmarked now for Tramore on Jan. 1st.

Won't he run in the actual savills ?

Shortened up for the savills over the past 24hrs or so

Hadn’t noticed that, I wouldn’t have expected Willie to run him first time out in open company in a grade 1 like that but maybe he’s been showing up well at home!
