    What are the odds that Squouateur gets backed like he is the next coming.
    1.01 id say.

    My problem with the horse is that I'm yet to see his "True Running". I might be in the minority, but I think the form of the champion hurdle is questionable. Added to that just how poor Melon's only run at this track was I can't go near. Should be an interesting race anyway, we'll let the horses do the talking.

    I think he needs a solid end to end gallop to really bring out the best in him. He certainly has gears. I mean i dont think he is top top class. But he is likely just in the next tier. You dont get touched off in a champion and supreme novice without having some bit of ability.

    Game of opinions i suppose. Time will tell.

    Couldn't try Melon as far as I could throw one. Supasundae W/O Samcro at 5/1 the obvious bet in that race for me.

    Reckon Tombstone is a bit over priced here based on turn around in the weights with Kemboy. 17.0 on Betfair

    Shame to see that. Thankfully both up alright.

    Samcro was tanking along impressively at the time, pinged the hurdle and just nodded.

    Looked like he clipped it with his hind legs and that did him. Had made a couple of novicey mistakes before then also.

    Very unsatisfactory though and we learn nothing really.

    And what did road to respect do?

    He managed to finish in the first 3 in the Gold Cup which was more than can be said for your "Min" who couldnt finish in the first 3 in the Champion Chase.

    To go back to what you said in December after the Leop Christmas chase.

    All out to beat balko de flos is never in a million years gold Cup form, that race will mean nothing come march

    Balko went on to win the Ryanair at Cheltenham beating UDS. UDS went on to win a Gd2 and the Champion Chase at Punchestown.

    Djakadam was second in the Punchestown Gold Cup.

    But the race meant nothing yeah ?

    mod edit: <snip> Road to respect finished third well behind Bellshill and djackadam so no it's not gold Cup form

    Am looking for some salvation on last race. Any reason All for Joy could run well. Nice E/W 14s and I’d like to bite.

    Thats not what you said.

    You had a go at another poster because they told you it wouldnt finish in the first three. Tipping a horse that clearly wasnt going to run having run earlier in the week.

    Its you that dug the hole for yourself when I lifted your quote from December about the significance of the Christmas Chase belittling BDF.

    You know nothing about horse racing.
    Min didn't run so how do you know he wouldn't finish in the first three, just give it a rest your not gonna win here

    I've had to delete a number of posts here. Please be nice and stop squabbling. I didn't need to come home to that after a day at the races.
