Dissapointing is a word I dont use lightly,not only in yourself for not knowing but in the way this fellow is blatantly being placed to fail! Come March and granted typical Cheltenham ground (Good) you will see him running in the ‘Festival’ Chase again but instead of running off a mark of 155,he’ll be nearer the 145 mark and will be one of the best handicapped horses in the race,he was the 11/2fav last year around a course he has ran half of his 18 races around that is 9 times to you and me or 50% to the Ginger one.Keep it to yourself though mind!
Bit slow on the uptake today! With you now. What did you make of Imperial Commander? Ran an incredible race after such a long absence no?
I backed him on course Joni and he ran an absolute blinder But He wont be winning another Gold cup as 12yo’s just dont do it.My Colours are firmly nailed to
First Lieutenant
but I saw the Gold Cup winner yesterday and that was
Cape Tribulation
,I’ve said it many times before but the Gold Cup is a unique test for a horse,it requires an absolute out and out stayer to win it and most of those are actually Handicappers a bit like ‘Synchronised’ was the difference between him and ‘The Caped One’ is that one travels like a dream and still finds plenty,the other needs cajoling but does the same.
Cape Tribulation
is hugely overpriced at 33/1 and I’ve had a bit on today with Ladbrokes.This fellow is a different horse to the one I saw at Doncaster a year ago and he’ll be even better on Good Ground,he’s a horse I’ve always kept an eye on and after yesterdays performance he’s certainly confirmed he’ll get up that hill.I’ve sat and watched the re-run half a dozen times today and cant contain myself any longer!!
Cape Tribulation
£50 e/w 33/1 Ladbrokes
£50 e/w 33/1 Ladbrokes
£50 e/w 33/1 Ladbrokes Cheltenham Gold Cup
Careful Gord, that’s 3 you’ve backed in the Gold Cup now….you’re sounding more and more like that Ginger fella next door!
In all seriousness i give this Cape Tribulation every chance on yestersays showing. The 33’s won’t be around for too long!
What is your opinon on this years Ryan Air old chap?
