  • Little bit harsh?

    If I owned a horse I'd want to be there?

    Watching on telly ain't the same is it ... or you all wouldn't go down each year either?

    Good luck to him, and hard luck on your bets I say

      I just don’t get why you wouldn’t run a horse because you can’t be there?

        Well I can't say... but my best guess is part of the fun of owning a horse is getting to go to the races and being part of the occasion? Certainly for smaller owners anyway

          I agree, was being selfish for my bet.
          Although watching on Telly by the poolside in barbados wouldn't hurt I'm sure.

                Coo Star not certain to run. Lizzie Kelly said in her Post interview he may miss the FEZ and find something easier as he's not shown much this year.

                    Even if he does turn up that comment has to give you massive reservations about the kind of form he'll be in

                    • Just had a fiver win on each of RATHER BE and CALIPTO, think both might run and both go well, just a bit of coverage really

                        the quote wasn't verbatim, just from memory, but he's on a very good mark should he run and plenty can 'bounce back' when getting the right race.

                          • Isn’t that what they have to say if they’ve been running him to get his mark back down for this?!!!

                            On the day it will be that the big occasion has brought him back to life as he powers away up the hill.....

                            • I am pretty confident Nick Williams has been targeting this race, and I have him in my mind as a very good target trainer.

                              I can't imagine Lizzie Kelly would get any positives from talking the horse up... hopefully it's all part of a cunning plan.

                              I can't see how he's not on everybodies shortlist at only 4 lbs higher.

                                My idea of a repeat winner - P Kealy likes it as well
