    Re: Cheltenham Preview Nights

    Ian Turner racing manager to Alan King said Grumeti was pretty much a standing dish in the Triumph Hurdle and would win comfortably
    LOL Is Iain Turner not Racing Manager to the McNeil familly rather than Alan King? That is what I thought but I could be wrong

    Frankel - An outside perspective

    Re: Frankel - An outside perspective Why are people so obsessed with getting this match up on? BC is a sprinter, an outstanding one. Frankel was a top miler, and now, rightly so, they are going to step him up in trip. They don't need to meet to appreciate both and it's hard to say who would win because it depends on the trip massively. It would be great if they were both top of the same trip but they are not and everything in between is subjective

    Re: Cheltenham Preview Nights Might do a write up on the London Racing Club one but in essence Paul Smith and Declan Rix liked Tetlami but Charlie (assistant to Henderson) said Darlan has more class and would likely go past Tetlami. Lee Mottershead really like Prospect Wells EW to bounce back. (this is from memory, didn't make notes) Everyone agreed Sprinter Sacrecould be class but worth taking on at the prices. Charlie said he is all class and he can't see him losing. George Primarolo said worse bets than Peddlers NRNB for the Champ Hurdle at 25/1. No real opinion on the Fes Chase - Paul Smith reminded everyone Quan needs to come in the top 4 to qualify for then National. As for Champ Hurdle - Charlie said Binoc is in great form at home, Wincanton was a bit of an afterthought but was very impressive and come out well. Paul Smith thought Zarkandar was a great EW bet, Declan thought Thousand Stars was a good EW bet if going for the race X Country - Nothing Mares - Obvious although when asked about Kells Belle Charlie said she is a good EW bet Which ever race Triolo D'Arlene goes for Charlie said he is well in and will run a huge race, similar to Paul Smith with Up The Beat whose form he really likes and he thinks he will win big races. Everyone also though Boston Bob would win which ever race he went for - Declan though Aupcharlie was a huge EW price for NRNB. Soux Les Cieux got a mention, as did Monksland. Charlie likes Simonsig, he said no decision about the race has been made but likely Neptune, classy horse but Boston Bob to beat. In the RSA Invictus was a popular choice. Declan liked Bobs Worth as EW steal at 5/1. They said Grand Crus by no mean a cert if he lines up In the QMCC all liked Sizing, Phil Smith said for him he is the most solid out of all the champs and the rest have a lot to find on ratings. Declan said at 5/1 Big Zeb, again, was an EW bet to nothing. Finians in good form but not sure he is up to Sizing. Kauto Stone got a few mentions for EW NRNB Coral Cup - Declan liked Dare Me as one of his best bets Fred Winter - Nothing Bumper - Declan said regular rider of Moscow Mannion says he is one of the best horses in the yard he sits on. Lee liked Royal Gurdsman, Phil NYE. Charlie said My Tent Or Yours wins on Saturday! Jewson - depends on line up. Peddlers big chance if goes and Cristal Bonus was impressive. Champion Court a good EW with his form. Charlie said Solix likely to go to a handicap until Phil Smith reminded him he is not entered into one. Pertemps - Nothing really but Smith said would be amazing feat for Pipes if Buena Vista won again, would be highest mark Ryanair - Charlie said come out fo race really well. His record fresh was discussed and only won once in 5 second time in season. Declan said laid for a place. Lee really liked Rubi Light. George said he expected Nobel Prince to be spot on for this race and to go close. World Hurdle - I was surprised at how down beat Charlie was on Oscar Whiskey and him staying the trip. Declan liked Mourad EW Triumph - A few still liked Saddlers Risk - him and Balder Success the picks Gold Cup - Charlie confident with Long Run, Burton Port also got a chance if fit but although he is well they are never sure with him. Most said think Grand Crus should stick to the Novice route. Not the same without Kauto Probably missed stuff and got a few things wrong but that is the general gist!

    Re: Ante Post Jumps Thread 2011-2012 That is the nature though Rob isn't it? I bet a lot ante post now and going into the Fes I have some excellent prices. Inevitably though some aren't running or have little chance. I certainly wouldn't let it put you off Having SS at 10/1 I can have 6 other NR fromt he ante post and I am still doing well at the ante post market compared to current price

    Re: Ante Post Jumps Thread 2011-2012 I don't buy all this hill chat though. People are going over the top with it imo. Re watch the Supreme, he was pulling the whole way round and did well to finish 3rd. McCoy (and that is the only time he has ridden SS) should probably have let him run. Anyway Geraghty and Henderson both say he was quite small and weak and has gotten much bigger and stronger now. Forget what he beat for a second, he broke the track record at Newbury on the bridle and the ground was not that quick. Now I agree he is too short to back ante post now, but you are clutching at straws trying pick holes in his chasing so far
