    • Wasn't one I'd backed, but gutted for everyone here, and for us not getting to see him defend it. No one's come back since Lord Windermere have they?

        Is this a normal year in terms of the number of horses dropping out in the last couple of weeks? Feel I have been a bit naive on this score. Was expecting a couple in total but not 1-2 a day
        I won't relax now until the tapes are up and hopefully iv got the supreme / arkle in the bag. , hopefully both, Then I could sit back and enjoy it regardless.

        This is the worst iv been hit by far. Iv actually got far less runners than I usually do. And the ones have been hit have been the higher stakes ones.

          I know what you mean. These next 4 days are going to be absolute torture. One more non runner could break me!

          • Im in the same camp fellas. From feeling pretty smug about my book, I'm all of a sudden on the back foot before it starts.

            A good winner will put us all right. Plenty of opportunities on the first day. Fingers crossed.

              • My early Gold cup thoughts led me to back Yorkhill, Coney island and Sizing John, away from this I was really chuffed at how good my 8/1 on Willoughby Court was looking, not to mention my 8/1 on PP, for the 4 miler!!!!

                  All this and the most imprtant thing. My baby is 2 days over due. So a pretty stressful time . I think we can all guess when he's going to come out.

                        Fractured pelvis I think, they're calling it a hidden hairline fracture, could be on walking excercise within a couple of weeks?

                          I noticed that he was taken out of the Ultima, which surprised me slightly so it sounds like the GC could be a plan. Not sure I'd be putting the £30k(?) if I owned him.
