Crowdfunder - Fat Jockey Forum upgrade

Hello Fat Jockeys,

Upgrading the Fat Jockey forum!: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/fatjockeyforum

We're looking to upgrade the 'hosting CPU' so I've set up a crowdfunding project.

    Another reason IEF may run in CC. Ryanair looking trickier and trickier.

      I dont think gaelic will be a factor in their thinking at all

      He's been running like hes had 7 pints of Guinness all season

      If solness was to come out that could maybe sway them to CC. Hes the pace pressure.

      Whereas he's likely to get an easy enough lead in the Ryanair.

        This is how I see it too.

        I don't think they want to get into a battle for the lead early. Much more chance of setting the fractions in a Ryanair than the Champion Chase with Solness present.

          They also don't know if he's quick enough to lead 2 milers

          Leading stayers is one thing, leading solness and jonbon is another

          Hed likely have to go a lot faster than hes used to and completely empty up the hill due to it

          Bounce out in the Ryanair and jump them silly like allaho and vautour is by far his best chance of winning

          If he wins run him over 2 miles next time. If he goes well ready him for a proper season over 2 miles next year.

                    • Potentially a 6 runner race? Fingers crossed Gaelic Warrior does make it, as he's always a talking point with his unpredictability

                        That's what I'd expect.

                          • That was very impressive

                            He looked a lot lot more comfortable travelling at 2m4f pace

                            Hopefully he learns to settle a bit better and goes to the gold cup next year

                            He surely surely has to run in the king george. He'd win it by half the straight.

                                I did say he reminded me of Allaho, and by god he produced a Allaho-esque type performance, in differing style, of course. Perfection that was.
