Point is, (stating the obvious) you can warble on as much as you like, and worry about race plans etc, but lots of factors and things will happen along the way that aren't completely controllable.
Just need a bit of luck, alongside the thought process and research.

That's so true. If Gordon hadn't sat on the dead horse, Quilixios would have been lining up in the Fred Winter. Not sure anyone could have foreseen that!
He’s won plenty of handicaps at the festival, it’s the grade 1’s that have eluded him in the main, imagine the fallout of those race plans trying to justify Adagio & HEC getting the better of Zanahyir after Quilixios wins the handicap on the bridle. They probably would have cleared out their horses from the yard anyway after such a bad steer.

Barry Connell and being optimistic
I'd never see the day
He clearly has ability to train and knows what it takes, but yeah, his optimism isn't one to take on word. Mind you, I'd rather he be bullish than pessimistic.
I actually quite like William Munny. It's just a shame he's going to be a 7 year old, which is a stat I don't like for the Supreme.

Can't argue with that. There is a little clique of them. Lots of good ones out there though. Dave is quality on Cheltmental. The Cheltex lads are top notch. OFLH are good entertainment, LTR very good, Jumps show is intelligent, Champ.ie also intelligent and the 3 lads on The Final Flight podcast are very good. The Finishing Line is just white noise, would be heaps better if their microphones were all the same volume and they didn't shout over each other all the time but i like listening to them for the entertainment value. The one man banders Mark Mackay and Martin Colwell are good. but the ultimate is Upping The Ante. That should be back very soon. The Road To Cheltenham is worth watching just to hear Ruby and i will watch owt with Emma Nagle on because i am a perv
