I'm on him at 25/1, very happy after that! Skelton said post race he's straight to the Turners now.


On another note... Paul Nicholls' horses really are whack. Stinking. Doesn't even have a grade 1 winner in waiting in his stable anymore.

Fabulous. Well done Speedy. You've got some ticket there !

[BookieBasher]

Nothing to compare with that though Carnage. That was a very strong Challow. 4 unbeaten horses in there and ran at a cracking pace. Nothing like the races in Ireland. Blown away.

I’d still be surprised if Willie didn’t have the market Fav on the day. Can’t deny it was a special performance but we all know what will happen come March

[Wayward Lad]

Been some stunning performances over Christmas, we've been spoilt !

I agree, especially today

Yes it was very good

[Lobos]

Of course!! Turners fav now and should be!!
Not much though!!
WTAF top up, again not much though

Great stuff Carnage. You and Speedy in the minority.

I'm on at a measly 5's but more than happy with that. Don't normally bet under 10/1 but just couldn't stick to that after that watch !

Really though? Bill Joyce is decent but was 43L behind Jasmin de Vaux in the Champion Bumper. Regents Stroll looks overpriced and Nicholls horses are stinking worse than a leftover Christmas cheeseboard. Wendigo was second for goodness sake, even if TNL cantered to the finish. It may have looked visually impressive but no way should TNL be 4/1 for the Turners.

There are plenty of horses in Ireland that have come out and will show more by March. And I say that as someone sitting on a 20/1 WTAF any race ticket for TNL.

I was gonna go in at 5's but it went 4's before i could get it on !

[Benjy23]

That was mighty impressive but 4/1 sounds tragic at this stage tbh. How much shorter than that could be realistically be on the day? With no plans to be seen again beforehand and no doubt a couple of challengers to emerge from Ireland. DRF / Nathaniel Lacy sure to bring something into the shake up and I'd expect as fav...

That’s the thing……we don’t know!!
But of course you can make a calculated guess.
And recent history backs you up.
But this horse is now.

That was something special though Darlo. Took my breath away moment. The market has spoken unanimously as well. Extraordinary performance.

fav bombed out

2nd was beaten at Hexham 2 runs ago, I'll hold judgement on that

Stinks of Hermes Allen.

I think this chap is a different class.
Not sure comparing him to recent Challow winners is advisable.

Yeah that’s too short , no need to back him now I agree

If Kopek had won like that we'd all have been waxing lyrical on here. The Forum would have gone into meltdown. Just because an English horse comes out and does it the excuses come out. We can't have it all ways Darlo.
