Well there will be plenty of people in the west country who will appreciate the sang froid of Nicholls having the lurgy. Always amazes me that a man that unpopular in the immediate racing community can be so popular in the media. Would be a shame for Big Bucks and Kauto Star but the former could probably win the stayers pulling a train anyway and I can’t see kauto winning the Gold Cup although i wouldn’t mind him proving me wrong.
