fatal injuries for Vautour, Avant Tout, Simonsig, a potentially season ending injury for Barters Hill and the retirement of Sprinter Sacre...
Feels like the season has started on a bit of a sour note this year
I have been away for most of this...I know its four seasons later but not many of the 2013 winners left now.

Makes you understand why the top trainers take so long sometimes to bring a horse back from injury, and why they are so nervous when they do, as was Henderson with SS, obviously they are taking no more chances, fingers crossed now that all goes well with Coneygree
What really strikes me from the list of results from four years ago is the amount of big priced winners, 11 over the price of 14/1.I certainly remember festivals of old when this was the norm, now it seems we hardly get a winner in double figures. No wonder the bookies blame bad Cheltenhams for profits being down.
And we get to pat each other's backs at another winning festival!!

Favs at big festivals is becoming a trend in the major festivals? I think I remember reading about it when the talk of the Mullins acca was rife and I think it carried on into Royal Ascot, Glorious Goodwood and it has been at Cheltenham for a bit now. Could be nothing but some logic behind the dominant trainers being creatures of habit and having a monopoly in certain races.
Just wasted a bit on 62/1 for Black Hercules and Nichols Canyon to give Wylie and Mullins a Ryanair quickfire double.... I nearly backed this with Yorkhill in the JLT but didn't...
I've convinced myself this is where Black Hercules is going - Mullins mentioned he has the speed for a CC, and I don't think they'll rush him in to the Gold Cup picture this season... and I also don't think he'll line up against Douvan.
Nichols Canyon, despite winning the Morgiana, is going for this race and is a tough, front runner and I think I'll at least have a good run for my money. Not sure Ricci will put a good one in the WH when there are other races and that could secure Ruby...
Not my best bet, but you have to post the good, the bad and the ugly don't you
120/1 for Invitation Only/Bellshill double..... Wylie Wednesday! Could have the fav for the Neptune and roll it on to Bellshill in the RSA ---- that is 1/5 the odds with a few
or 99/1 1/4 the odds....
They've done the business today (along with Zabana and Catcheragain) in a nice 4-fold #BackTheFavourite
Every now and then Geraghty throws in an odd ride, a while ago I thought he might be crooked but I've since met him and he seems very sincere and honest, I came to the conclusion that his mounts are all high profile so anything that doesn't look right will always be scrutinised that much more, bit like the keeper who leaks soft goals.
I remember the ride he gave Punchestowns on Trials Day 4/5 years ago, he raced closer to Cleeve Hill than the rail and go beat 30l and that after the horses drifted alarmingly before tapes up....

I don't back his high profile rides anymore since what I heard a few years back.
I haven't 'lost confidence' in Barry. I've thought he was brilliant since he brought Riverside Theatre over the line in the RSA a good few years back!
Having said that, the last time I asked him for a favour was on Yanworth, but much has been said about that and my opinion won't make a difference. Wouldn't stop me smashing up another that he was on though... I am less likely to back a JP horse though. I think in general they are over-bet and McCoy was more a numbers man, than quality. I used to think Barry was the same, until he took this job. A jockey for a big day, rather then a jockey for every day.
