Cheltenham 2020 - Ante post bets

[Pendil]

It was on the racing post app.....these are the quotes below.

You can forget the Samcro who we thought was the real deal at one stage, he's not that any more,” O’Leary said.

“Samcro was disappointing again at Limerick and we hope to find something wrong but we probably won't.

“We'll have to probably end up with a handicap mark now as he's going nowhere as a good horse. A good horse, he is not.

“Hopefully he can prove us wrong, but I think we can just forget about him at this stage. As a novice hurdler he was brilliant and he finished his races out brilliantly, but there's something amiss now. Whether he just doesn't want to do it any more or not, I don't know.”


O’Leary said: “He's going from cruising to empty in his races and, in hindsight, there's not a hope in hell that he'd have beaten Fakir D'Oudairies had he stood up in the Drinmore.

“We were thrilled for the most part at Limerick, as we were when watching the Drinmore, but within two strides he was empty. His work is good, his health is good, everything is good bar how he's finishing his races.

"Don Cossack disappeared for a season and a half. We live in prayer and hope that Samcro can come back as well, but it will take prayer and hope. It ain't simple.”

Asked if he could put his finger on any number of possible reasons why Samcro was failing to fire, O’Leary added: “All last season he didn't scope right.

"We got his wind done this season, built a new stable for him and he'd been scoping great, but he goes and does that again at Limerick. He's doing exactly what he did last term.

"Is he hollow? No, because he finished his races out as a novice hurdler. There's something amiss but we don't know what it is. You've got to face reality at some stage.

Sounds like frustrated realism to me. Its such a pity that the horse has some breathing problems that weren't there in his novice hurdle year

This is O’Leary talking .....enough said

What a horrible arrogant little shit of a man , New Years Resolution less swearing

Fckg twat IMO ....that’s better

Betfred have gone nrnb for the champion hurdle, champion chase, stayers hurdle and gold cup from today

[FaugheenTheMachine]

Can anyone honestly see Samcro in a handicap at Cheltenham?

[Hurricane fly]

I suppose it would be interesting to see his chase mark after an easy win, a fall and a 2nd. But he’s a 160 rated hurdler so nobody is letting him get off lightly

[Kevloaf]

Is that an O’leary talking down one of their horses!?

I won’t have it! I won’t believe it!

Absoutely.

Too much stock given to owner comments in general

[Run4Home]

BetFred the first bookmaker to go NRNB on championship races.

Found some new smilies:

Victorious

Applause...

Beat Up

[Kevloaf]

Klassical Dream at 9/1 would be a horrific bet.

Target not certain.

No idea if the Supreme will be any good (I think it is BUT two outsiders finished 2nd and 3rd)

Single figures this far out is 100% not worth it.


I'd be amazed if you couldn't get bigger at some point.

Post #3 - 10/1 now NRNB

Didnt know where to put this so if it needs moving please move.
Had an email from Weatherbys today in ref to the missing Chante Neige. Which says the horse isnt in training on there database.
So if you have backed and you have cash out you know what to do.

She was moved to Nicholls along with Sending Love, but isn't shown on his HiT page whilst Sending Love is.

Drovers Lane in the OP was sadly lost, rather than out for the season.

Feel like there needs to be a search party out looking for this horse

[Faugheen_Machine]

Thanks for the info Somer. Moved the posts over to this thread

[somer1]

No prob FM. I know there were people from Fat Jockey who were on about backing it after a book came out saying it was with Nicholls

[KingSprinterSacre]

I’ve had a discussion with the Pughs regarding #Altior and he will be entered in the G2 @UnibetRacing Silviniaco Conti Chase over 2m4f @kemptonparkrace on Saturday with the intention very much to run. @NdeBoinville was happy with his work yesterday and he’ll school in the week.
