So the big race today, who are people backing? I cant choose between the big hitters, so im going for Kempes each way.

Alright lads?

Head is thumping so won't stay on long. Very little rain around here last night or this morning so not good news for Unaccompanied and Pandorama.

Btw, Russell didn't ride Beautiful Sound. Jason Maguire was on the horse.

Hope ye all got the price on Sir Des Champs last weekend!

What will it be like in the parade ring before the race with 2 former and the current champ lining up to do battle

Keep looking at MIDNIGHT CHASE today

14/1 looks a fantastic e/w bet

I couldn't agree more, Sammy. I have a holiday coming if he wins - even a small one if he's placed.

Come on KEMPES!

Aaron Boone · March 18, 2011, 03:12:52 PM

Denman's some price at 9/1.

Indeed - horse travelled well and kockey timed it to perfection.

Wouldn't have backed that in a million years. Some horse to win against the ground, his age and an amateur on his back.

Hard on Barry Geraghty to be deprived of a Gold Cup.

How come he wasn't on board anyway?

Jockey's father owns it.
