That was getting boring, what is good for me and others is that Getabird stays in the supreme & gets his ground...Originally posted by Kevloaf View PostJust seen that all over twitter too.

Something that stuck with me from the preview nights was a couple of the mullins lot saying Next Destination needs good ground to challenge Samcro. Next Destinations best race for me on this ground would be the SupremeComment

I agree, think they've screwed the owner on this one by taking him out of supreme. Would've had a fav's chance in my book in supremeOriginally posted by Robbante View PostComment

Was really surprised they took him out, has to go Ballymore now but he would surely need to be at his peak to give Samcro a race, and connections obviously think he’s at his peak on good ground which he won’t getOriginally posted by quevega View PostComment

Worrying the comments about On The Blind Side on other thread. You would think he needs to be somewhere near spot on to put it up to Samcro. I have always harboured doubts about the ride as well. Last time he was at Cheltenham it appeared De Boinville was waiting an age for the horse to pick up. Likely he isn't going to get that luxury again. It won't be a surprise if the favourite goes clear at some stage, probably on the bridle, but if he does start to paddle up the hill then De Boinville will need have got On The Blind Side close enough to mount a serious challenge. No good being 10 lengths off running to the last and then finding 5 lengths up the hill. Has he got that type of forceful ride in the locker?Comment

Nico is one of the best in a finish (infact I think the stats are there to prove he wins most often out of any other jockey in a finish).Originally posted by kinloch brae View Post
I'd think that'd mean he could translate it to a forceful ride and it is in his locker...however for me the result won't be affected whether he gets the perfect ride or an average ride...
I used to not be a fan of Nico but I really, really like him now.Comment

I am not concerned about the finish it is more the requirement to get active enough to be in a position to ride the finish.Originally posted by Kevloaf View Post
Personally, I would have been more confident about Samcro in a Supreme. It is not inconceivable that he might have problems getting home on testing ground. The track will also be a new test for him. He hasn't had to face a battle as yet and who knows how much or little he will find (should he need to) off the bridle.Comment

Samcro won a PTP on heavy, I don’t think 2.5 on soft will be an issueComment

It might not be but there are loads of examples of horses who won points but were better at shorter trips. He has already shown far more pace than the average pointer.Originally posted by Hurricane fly View PostComment

I wouldn't have any doubts about Nico's ability to get a horse in the right position either KB?Originally posted by kinloch brae View Post
From the very top of my head, the ride he gave Sprinter Sacre to beat UDS was excellent, made his move at the right time.
When Douvan won the Arkle, he made a good move on Vaniteux who then fell?
When he rode OTBS he was off the bridle first and went past them, so he seems to be able to react and make a move when he feels he needs toComment
