A laxative would only make Urban talk more

UrbanSea

If you think Hurricane Fly will win, which you obviously do because you fear him for your Binocular bet, why did you not back him?

UrbanSea

I never said I think he'll win. Wouldn't you be happy if you backed a second favourite and the odds-on favourite was taken out?

ft9

Yes I would. But your posting about Hurricane saying you hope he gets injured and that he's withdrawn. I know its a joke (that scared the **** out of me when I saw it) but it sounds to me like you think Hurricane will win.

Doesn't make sense backing Binocular. I think Binocular is a very big threat to Hurricane myself.

UrbanSea

I wouldn't want him to get injured.

I do think Hurricane will win, but I wouldn't back an odds on shot at the Festival. I think a rejuvenated Binocular will be his toughest task yet. 6/1 v a 4/5 shot at the time, it was a no brainer.

ft9

6/1 is fantastic, I would have him as a 7/2 shot

UrbanSea

It was the morning of the day Grandouet was taken out.

5/1 is about right, his form is up and down, good last day, made hard work of it at Xmas. Last few years he is hard to predict and doubtful his 09 win would be good enough to beat fly.

UrbanSea

Didn't he have a breathing op since Christmas?

Not sure, but looked lot better in wincanton.. runs same race, must make frame. Like oscars w/o, reckon fly will be evs on the day..

Not at Cheltenham.

I like to see the best horses take each other on, I care about the spectacle more than the money.

UrbanSea

We all like the spectacle, but you'd be silly to not want to enhance your chance of winning.

Not really, especially not in a proper Championship race, HF is potentially the best 2m hurdler since Istabraq ( he almost certainly is but for the more pedantic out there) so surely every proper race fan wants to see him line up?

I backed Long Run @ 9/2 after the King George and I was disgusted when I heard about Kauto's fall, and I genuinely hope he is able to line up and gives he's true running.

UrbanSea

You disagree that you'd be silly not to enhance your chance of winning then.

Would I prefer to collect my money with no contest or would I prefer to see one last great battle between the master and the pretender, yep its the latter for me everytime, money is only a small part of what I enjoy about racing tbh, its probably why I cant stand that nancy boy flat racing craic

UrbanSea

I know what you and md mean though. My dream scenario would be for Binocular to get up on the line to beat the Fly

RichieLawlor

I hope you fall asleep Monday and don't wake up till Saturday. That's all you deserve. Midlands national for you

You panicked there didn't you?
