Cheltenham Gold Cup 2020

Don't think I said that, did I ?
Clearly speedier types can also win the race, given suitable conditions and race pace etc.

Becoming a resident forthrighter aren't you ?
Wasn't making a case for Monalee whatsoever by the way, I actually agree with you about him (not as boisterously though).

And putting your fancies in Bold won't give them a better chance of winning either.

Touchy ain’t ya.

What was your point then if you was agreeing with me ?
Did those speedy types stay to win a gold cup ?

No idea at the moment, nothing looks priced with any value.

Yes. I love people who speak their mind :rolleyes:
Prefer it to be done with a touch of class, intelligence or humour though.

Well if I offended, I apologise
 
Believe it or not you can get the grinders to win it but the speedsters also can win it.

Im not going to insult your intelligence by saying who sits in what camp from previous or present gold cup horses.

As it stands tonight Delta Work , Presenting Percy and Santini would be on my radar but defending champ not been out yet so who really knows.
 
Where is Santini?
 
Did Delta work win today mmmmmmm , oh yeah he did. Oh bugger he came third in RSA , must of been a shite race because the plodder ,the boat that is Santini came second on a bad prep.
 
Apologies if I’ve offended any Santini followers. Had a few beers. I’m not crabbing last years RSA just thought he didn’t look interested in his job on that occasion. It would be unusual for all of the placed horses in last years novices to all step up and be forces in the grade 1s in open company. He might have a big pot in him, but I don’t think this is it.
 
Paul said that he came to win his race and the lack of a run just told after the last. Should come on a fair amount for the Irish Gold Cup and he was the only one of the first five having his seasonal debut. For me he didn't have quite his normal enthusiasm but he's a year older and more mature so perhaps that's understandable. Not much change in his GC price and PP keep him as favourite.

Of the others, Delta Work was off the bridle a fair way out so did well to run past them at the end but he won't get away with that at Cheltenham. Monalee and Road To Respect won't stay and Percy looks to have peaked and should go the National route.

Worth noting that the 3 runners so far who were in that Punchestown gallop, Kemboy/Cadmium/Chacun Pour Soi, have all needed the run this week. Worth bearing in mind for ABP at Tramore although that looks to be a considerably easier race and he should get away with it.

Yep, thought Kemboy would need it. Ran a very good race though and think he'll be the one they all have to beat in March. Let's hope he gets a little bit further this season !
 
ABP is still the one to beat, not LIT or anything else.
When he hopefully wins his prep in a couple of days he will be rightful favourite.

Yet Kemboy beat him fair and square last season and Presenting Percy smashed him in the RSA. It takes a very special horse to retain a Gold Cup. Denman couldn’t so it, Kauto couldn’t do it. Is he a Best Mate ??? I’m not so sure. It’s a proper open race and as we stand at the moment I would say the value is Native River and prey for soft or heavy.
