Or for value.
If he races against Teahupoo at any stage how would people price it up ?

You'd have him fav over fecking Teahupoo surely?

He was unlucky today and looked like he retains ability, but the confidence in jumping takes another blow and it sounded like Willie would not need much to revert.
He travels like a stayers hurdle type, and his jumping won't matter as much in that course.

He could well end up being very good value, i'd have teahupoo obviously fav against him if they met, not sure by how much but that would all depend on conditions of the race, going etc.
I thought he was coming in to the race nicely just now , so the appetite for the game still seems to be there, that looked questionable at times last season.

Hasn't set the world alight since has he

Honey likely done enough up near the front that day too on the ground, and teahupoo just picked her off

Definitely not for me

Why would sir gerhard be fav over teahupoo?

[darlojim]

..cos I love him

And I think he's better, unless it was heavy ground.

My suspicion is he returns to hurdles and proves he's just not that good (anymore). But time will tell. Questionable how good he ever was, even as a two time festival winner imo. But he looks to have declined considerably. They wouldn't have persisted with fences if they thought that was the sole issue imo.

And has 4 rprs in the 160s (168highest) compared with SG who has none and whose highest is 11 pounds lower than Teahupoos. Even Teahupoos 4yo rpr was only two pounds lower than SG ballymore win. Ive asked before but got no response…please can somebody give me a purely objective case for SG as my FOMO is raging right now. I am very willing to be converted (actually want to be) so any help would be appreciated from one of his legion of fans.

ps I am aware it’s harder to get high rprs in novice races but stacks have got higher than SG
