    Altior would destroy UDS on any ground.

    Not in the Ryanair he wouldn't.
    UDS is unbeatable on heavy ground.

    Why would you want the horse to be pulled up? Lousy enough on poor aul Douvan. What's he done to deserve it?!

    Douvan is a horse he won't know he won a champion chase, his connections are a disgrace to horse racing. It's never ending with them, they seem to think their above everyone.

    tbh id usually be highly critical of Willie and co.
    But the Racing Post and Richie Foristal are to blame for this debacle. They completely made **** of the story yesterday.

    If he's pulled up that means the horse is obviously hurt or something went wrong.

    You sound like a drunk down the bookies.

    If you don't want to see Douvan and Altior go head to head then you aren't a racing fan.

    You don't deserve to watch Cheltenham.

    This isn't about Douvan and Altior going head to head, it's about the nasty taste these connections leave yet again.

    Don't deserve to watch Cheltenham, cringe.

    What other reason would there be for the horse being pulled up though other than being hurt/distressed? I could understand if you'd said you hoped Rich Ricci was hit by a bus and I'd empathise with that. But to hope Douvan is pulled up and take away from an unbelievable race is just in poor taste and unbecoming of a racing fan.

    They had to reconsider running Douvan in the Champion Chase after the overnight rain. It's a shame Un de Sceaux isn't joining him tbh.

    Which they are allowed to do...

    Purchase yourself a horse and see how you approach it - I'm sure you won't keep any cards to your chest and inform the public/media of your every plan, etc...
