The Horse racing thread

[Hardy]

I think the message is just keep backing the Mullins favourites. It's a bit like owning your own mint.

It's amazing, though how the Irish form is so far ahead of the English. The Irish horses are running all over them. Multiple places as well as seven winners to two.

Sam Twiston-Davies becomes the first non-Irish jockey to win so far at the meeting and only the third even to be placed.

1st English winner of a non handicap race. Go on ya boy ya Sam and Dodging bullets.

Yeah backed dodging bullets myself, small wager, which will allow me to have a couple of quid on bigger price fields.
Went for Ruby in the next, see if he'll give me a sweat!

I like Apache stronghold in the 1st,plenty went wrong last time and he still won a grade one beating Valseur lido. Back at Christmas he looked like beating Don Poli before getting outstayed over 3 mile,he's 11/2 and seems a safe e/w shot to my eyes with him likely to relish these quicker conditions,his most impressive hurdles performance at Navan in a grade 2 novice hurdle the ground was like a road.

[beer baron]

Vautour is an absolute superstar,that's some performance 

[illdecide]

You have all went quiet...I think the Bookies are starting to claw their money back. I made a few quid of the 1st race and then just done a 50p Yankee for the next 4 races and walked out...I was glad to see AP win a race even though i'd done one to beat him.

Having a decent day  .

Like Rajhdani express in the handicap here,was travelling like the winner last time until stamina emptied over 3 mile,dropped a few lb and has cracking festival form.

It looks the most open Gold Cup in years. The rain isn't going to help the Irish challenge. It's a long time since Captain Christy won it but I reckon the novice today will go very close to emulating that achievement. He'll stay all day.
