    Ive not watched the race today but seen the result and most seemed to mention SS coming out better than BDA, I assumed because he was giving 5lbs to his stablemate.

      No reason to think they will have him any worse than 2-3 back in the pack. I just rewatched his MP victory and he had no problem picking up horses after being outpaced and took a lonely route on the far side, didn't need to be amongst horses to stay on and get to the front

        Big field in the MP though, so chalk and cheese really. Went a long way with a lot of horses, was pretty much always running with at least one other horse either upsides or not far away. Got lonely in front today, as Gordon alludes.

        Hopefully won't be too far back, like you say. Been on him a fair while and made plenty of cases for him many months ago now, so let's hope you are right.

          See I’m 50:50 on you rooster as you brought up Gaelic warrior who you know folk have said heavy and he’s a player.

          Anyway I’ve probably said enough on the matter considering I’ve not backed him or even watched the race. If anything changes I’ll be back…….

                It's because there's a vet check over on him today and Hendo says he'll release a statement afterwards. Could be nothing, could be something.

                      • I'd be snapping up the huge exchange prices on the likes of ile atlantique and Firefox etc, if it turns out that he's out there's only one more horse that you'd fear.

                          • Vet will be visiting to give him a shot of dex & some anti biotics, markets are just people arbing their position.

                            Edit - Oh dear, infection ridden up the leg already, should've got the vet in on friday, that's really poor from Hendersons team to allow that to happen, like really bad, Donnellys have every right to be roasting them for this, could lose a horse from ligament infections very f@cking easily, I'd be considering moving my stock from the yard personally...but they'll do what they feel is right.
                            Just wish Gino well as this isn't something minor.
