?????????????

They were the best in the UK apart from Epatante.

To me, it looks like Epatante versus 4 or 5 Irish horses at Cheltenham.

I wouldn’t be seduced at biggish odds by anything that ran in the International.

I don't follow? If you mean the Sceau Royal form then she has him beat with ease with barely a brush of the button, never mind a push.

It just shows Sceaux Royal isn't top class. I'll repeat what I said at the time........ she literally beat nothing

Your right, Sceau Royale isnt top class in this ground, hes ran a very respectable race though in 4th.

Slightly strange anti epatante comment which makes no sense.

Until Gary Moore changes his mind again.

He knows that as soon as he runs him, the Champion Hurdel dream is over when he’s beat. So he keeps pretending they want to run him. Then two runs on the flat showed the horse to be a totally different one to the one we saw last year over hurdles.

If he did turn up next week, I’ll be laying him no matter what he’s against assuming he’s a silly price.

And there we go..

Bubble burst.

What's difficult to understand ? All I'm saying is shes beat substandard horses and got cut in price dramatically for doing so. Now after watching that I would have expected her to be cut but obviously that has already happened prematurely

she’s beat what’s in front of her, over ground that would have suited SR more at Newcastle

that international told me what I already knew, the GB 2 mile division is crap outside of Epatante

I don’t understand how people are still against Epatante, I’m not fussed, carry on backing in these donkey, just means her price will remain half decent for when she hacks up in March

What is difficult to understand is that you seem to not see that Epatante could easily have won the Fighting fifth by half a furlong or more, if she and the jockey wanted too.
And sceau royal had his ground and a sharper track that day.

[Kautothegreat8]

People get touchy whenever Epetante is mentioned in a negative tone.

If Sceau Royal would have won everyone would have been back on the bandwagon.

Shes a top horse, all I'm saying is she hasnt beat anything to warrant the plaudits shes receiving

In a race pace being set by a hold up horse. The race was a farce.

No one's being touchy Kauto.
Just surprised at your comments.
