  • Just doesn't seem in love with the game this season to me. Poor all runs and no spark. Can't see him running in the GC. Very surprised they didn't enter him for the National. He'll need a huge turn around in form to get anywhere near the places imo.

      Really??
      Is GDC the only one allowed to
      lose over an inadequate distance?

        He’ll get left behind and then pass beaten horses imo.
        Jumps like he did today with the way he traveled I think he will be fine at Gold Cup type of pace.

          See my last post. Absolutely no way any comparisons can be made to GDC Carnage.

            This is the issue, I guess. Still high on a few, wasn't all though.

            Could see him stay on for a place, that's all. Nothing beats GDC anyway.
            Yep, be more than happy if he placed which being realistic is most to expect.
            But you never know!!

            • Hope L'Homme Presse is fine after today, hit one very hard then went right at the next few fences before being seinsibly pulled up, horse has had its issues and looked like he'd put them behind him at Cheltenham, fingers crossed all is well and he's just a bit sore at worst tomorrow.

                • I think those useless cunts in JP's race planning team will be delving into the supplementary Fees Account again.

                  I knowthewayyurthinkin looks odds on to get supplemented for the Gold cup now.
                  And would not surprise me if they put Corbetts in the stayers either.

                  Just a bit sticky at his jumps and has not improved this season on that front. Although I do think Cheltenham would be more suitable as it's not unusual for a horse like Pic D'ory, jump with so much tempo and rhythm to make other horses look like they've got the wrong shoes on.
                  Kempton a similar track for that type of thing also.

                    yep. Not many, if any Gold cup types would have beaten Pic today on his home ground.

                          Not for me, he corkscrewed a couple, was very low at a couple early as well. Jumping needs to be an asset, it isn’t for him imo.

                            Not saying he’s the perfect jumper, but he jumped well enough imo to have place claims in this gold cup.

                              Yeah it might be.
                              but only because you made it happen

                                Doesn't surprise me, on a stag do in Brighton, "Fisting Tony" took a shine to me, his boyfriend, was a postman, and came out with us all day in uniform ??
                                Not gay though so had to put a stop to his overtures.

                                Shishkin's Ascot shoes didn't help him against Envoi though did it ? - which was the point.

                                Not sure about the narrative comments, as I don't really care if corbetts is supplemented, I wouldn't expect much as he looks overrated on 166 - although, after this conflab -it would be amusing if they did and he won.
