I'd say that Jacon knows he's very lucky to get what he's given and if Paul T (Willie) wants his best jockey on his best Arkle horse then that WILL happen.
I'd have it odds on that Paul T rides El Fabiolo in the Arkle now
Jacob will sit back, take it like a man and pick up whatever rides he can..... if he throws his toys out the pram, he gets repalced and he's a no-one.
Wouldn't make a significant difference to me either way though
Watched the Arkle back again. No way does Appreciate It need a step up in trip. He was dead on his feet at the end of that. Should go Arkle but will be pleased if he doesn't as he's still a player for that. Turners.......nah.
Owner post race said he'd leave it up to Gordy but seemed luke warm about Cheltenham this year and was very much wanting him A1 for next years GC bid as a proper staying chaser in case anyone didn't catch it. Impressive today with plenty of variables for that not to suit.
If I had backed GC for any race at the festival I'd be taking at least partial cashout if available. There have been too many quotes from connections to suggest that Cheltenham 2023 is not their number 1 priority.

Flat out all the way round, Paul and Willie say a step up beckons.

Against the grain with that ?.... having been an any race backer.... I don't think I'm too biased ... but I don't see how you can watch that thinking he's Willie's Arkle horse, and it's never, ever been ib doubt he COULD get further..... so Turners 'nah' is bizarre IMO.
I was disappointed today, I thought he was a class above DD and EF, .... so I fancy him less now than before, but ultimately, his hurdles form means over fences he at least can match up to Mighty Potter and James Du Berlais, so "nah" for the Turners is fucking nonsense IMO

Crazy decision after Gordon has said the banc is made for him.
