    1. Gigginstown win the Gold Cup, but not sure which horse will do it

    2. Similar to your number 5, J O'Brien to ride in the Cheltenham bumper

    3. Sprinter Sacre, Sanctuaire & hopefully Sizing Europe to serve up a classic in the tingle creek

    4. No major "names" to get in any trouble with the stewards in Ireland yet again

    5. Hidden Cyclone not to run in Cheltenham 2013

    6. Hopefully the novice chase division to light up the coming jumps season

    7. I really hope I'm wrong but Cheltenham to investigate the "feasibility" of either a 5 day festival or moving it from it's current spot to a Wednesday to Saturday meeting. this then actually happens in 2015

    I think you're right, Joseph o brien will ride at a major National hunt festival. Anybody know for whom he could, also what's the plans for Harrison's cave her racing pattern would lean towards a nh career?

    Grand Crus to win the King George, with Finians Rainbow second. Grand Crus again beats Finians in the Ryanair.

    Simonsig to win the Champion Hurdle.

    Quevega/Big Bucks unbeaten again.

    An Irish 1-2-3 in the Gold Cup with Flemnstar beating Hidden Cyclone and Sir de Champs

    Theirs a difference between hurdles and fences. Peddlers Cross is well able to jump a hurdle and was very good over hurdles.

    Year of the giant bolster - to win d paddy power and d gold cup!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,351 ✭✭✭✭Harry Angstrom


    Bobs Worth wins the Gold Cup.

    Still waiting all season for Weapons Amnesty to make an appearance........


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,101 ✭✭✭klairondavis


    Waaheb to win the Supreme Novices breaking Weld's Cheltenham jinx.

    Long Run to win back the King George but fail to live with Sir Des Champs in the Gold Cup.

    Willie Mullins and Gigginstown to dominate at home.

    Paul Nicholls to have a poor season cross channel.

    Top horses to avoid taking each other on with trainers "keeping them fresh for March." :rolleyes:

    More dross races announced to be added to the Cheltenham Festival in the next few years: mares chase, two and a half mile hurdle, novices handicap hurdle.

    1 - Que card to have a cracking start to the season over 2.5m then to be tried over 3miles only to come up short. Goes on to win the Ryanair
    2 - Solwhit (if he ever comes back) to put it up to simonsig and champagne fever in the Arkle only to come up short to the nicky henderson charge
    3 - Big Bucks to be beaten in the run up to cheltenham but retains the world hurdle
    4 - Cinders and Ashes to break the record of supreme novice hurdle winners to go on to win the champion hurdle (he flatten hurdles last year and still won the supreme) beating darlan and rock on ruby followed again by an underperforming hurricane fly.
    5 - Kauto star not to race again
    6 - Fingal Bay to crucify everything over fences over 2m 4/5/6f and hobbs to make a silly decision to go for the RSA chase instead of the Jewson
