so they didn't learn from Christmas, literally letting Paul have it his own way out Infront again. Finishing in a bunch in behind...

He’s a proper Gold Cup horseOriginally posted by Lobos View Post

He’s got everything a top stayer wants.Comment

Lot of shit can happen yet.
Wouldn't be making any major decisions today
Remain calm.

Walsh did everything right for the horse, got him settled and gave him every chance and he came at the right time to win his race.Originally posted by EnvoiAlien View Post
He just cannot beat GDC over that distance let alone the extra of a gold cup.
Big shame for the race, but there yer go!!Comment

It is really quite a simple decision. No need to complicate the issue. If JP wants FTF to win at Cheltenham he has to go Ryanair. He aint winning the Gold Cup all the time GDC is in Town.Comment

The turbo GDC gets after the last every time at leopardstown is just brilliantComment
-
The Question is would JP prefer finishing 2nd in a GC with a slight chance of winning or win a Ryanair.

It's what sets him apart IMO from past Gold cup legends.Originally posted by Zachx02 View Post
He almost has a third gear when it starts hurting.Comment

Unbelievable sight. He's definitely improved from last season which is a scary thoughtOriginally posted by Zachx02 View PostComment

He'd just lose by further at Cheltenham. Longer distance and stiffer uphill finish in the last couple of furlongs.
if he was mine he would still be running in the gold cup thoughComment

He is an unbelievable horse. Stays, has pace, completely different horse to what he was as a novice in his manner and that's helped him over the last couple of years. Incredible staying chaser.
Something does need to take him on though at Cheltenham from the front and make it a test.

He's far far too good for them when he can set it up for himself. And he'll very very likely be far too good if something went even faster from the front, but they can't let him do what he does at Leopardstown at Cheltenham as he'll just outsprint them from the 2nd last and has proven himself unbeatable against the current lot under those conditions.

Those two in it, go off 8/1 and 13/2. Favourite? Gentleman De Mee at 4/1. JP must have done his nuts that day. Gabynako 2nd favourite as well and Folcano went off shorter than Galopin Des Champs.Originally posted by FinalFurlong91 View Post

I can remember most people on here seeming to be on him so looking back, it's hard to remember him going off at 8s.Comment
