Matt Posted 17 October 2016 Share Posted 17 October 2016 Quite an impressive line up I must say, how ITV choose to deliever it will be another question though. No Gina Harding which i'm disappointed with but didn't think she'd go to ITV for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouth watering race I think Thistlecrack has a better engine but the pace they often go off in the King George it can be a nightmare for inexperienced jumpers. I wouldn't like to call it but I'd edge towards Cue Card still, it's great to have a super steeplechase on the cards again, this has to be the best two horse contest over 3 miles since Kauto regained his crown off Denman.

goose2010 Posted 22 December 2016 Share Posted 22 December 2016 I would say Thistlecrack but he didnt jump well the last time out. Christmas hudle should be a cracker to. Yanworth, The New One and add in Vroum Vroum Mag tough one to call. Almost a shame i will be at the football so will miss it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

separator Posted 26 December 2016 Share Posted 26 December 2016 Had Cue Card as the final leg of my yankee, the other 3 won. Oh well, still got a return on the bet anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayfox Posted 27 December 2016 Share Posted 27 December 2016 Been a good couple of days of racing. Some big performances from some Cheltenham front runners thistlecrack seems to have put paid to seeing cue card in the gold cup, native river now seems set to be given a chance instead. Be interesting to see which horses get one more outing and where before the festival. Tomorrow looks a decent day as well. I'm off to Cheltenham new years day. Won't be the best of cards unfortunately but it's starting to give me the buzz for the festival. See skybet have already gone non runner no bet on the novice opener. Tempted to book for Jan 28th as well. Festival trails day. And interested to see what itv can now produce coverage wise. Whilst the morning line wasn't great it helped me learn about racing although I do prefer the jumps and tend to ignore the flat so I can't say I watched it week in week out.

Matt Posted 1 January 2017 Share Posted 1 January 2017 30 mins in and so far i've gotta hold my hands up, ITV ain't making a bad job of it so far. Think they've gone for a great choice in Ed Chamberlin though! As much as I liked Gina Harding, we've now got Lucy Varasamy and Victoria Pendleton. As for the racing, 1st race, I fancied Whisper, always liked the horse and usually bet on it, there was an odds on fav and it was only a field of 4 or 5 so left it alone...Whisper won Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayfox Posted 25 January 2017 Share Posted 25 January 2017 Anyone on hear heading to the Festival this year, what's your thoughts? looking forward to some open races, or does the fact, Willie Mullins has lost Vautour, and we now won't see Annie Power, we also have no idea what shape Faugheen is actually in, start to take some on the gloss off. I'm torn, could make for a more even few days of racing, with only TC and maybe Douvan really nailed on, but part of me want's to see the best horse's. Can't decide what days to go, but with us facing sevilla on the tuesday night I think that rules day 1 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaelicFox Posted 28 January 2017 Share Posted 28 January 2017 Many clouds death is being glossed over here horses shouldn't die of heart failure I breed , sell and race them something stinks here His performance was mental he ran to a mark of say 175 ! If a cyclist did this sort of performance there would be eyebrows raised Stinks and it stinks its not being questioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me He didn't stay today he was beat by stamina in an ordinary enough race I laid him for 5 figures at 1.80 !!! Happy tonight as now I have a free lay on him Que Card each way 16/1 is my best bet antipost good ground would see thistlecrack into 6/4 on the day and I could see him doing a long run .... but on soft ground he can't win the gold cup for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hearing prosecutions are being disvxissed and police enquiry being launched this is going to be a serious story horses that wobble seriously or need urgent care after a race shouldn't be allowed to ever race again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
