Can't imagine SC gets an easy lead ever again?

So 1-1. I don't see how anyone could be certain Footpad is a better horse than Saint Calvados.... one was 50/1, one was (can't remember, short though!)
But at 50s ew you've a decent bet there.https://scooby91horseracingtips.com/

A lack of good runs would back up many trainer comments about not being able to get out on grass.

This is like bald men fighting over a comb. Pointless.
No horse has yet shown anything to suggest it beats Altior over 2m at Cheltenham up that hill. If it’s heavy like last year or bottomless, then maybe. But on decent ground, Altior surely has everything held. His turn of pace in the last 2-3f when he turns on the afterburners is different gravy. As STD said in one post race interview, “he’s a freak”.

but today was definitely an example of a soft lead. If you give a horse a soft lead and make mistakes you're gonna look bad.
There'll be other days.

You are correct, no horse has shown anything to show they can beat Altior up the hill yet... shall I close the thread?

Opinions are great, especially when back up with the knowledge and analysis shown on here. But, for this division, could be all talk for 2nd place.
