Stats trends knowledge. Saxon Warrior is the man!Comment

His age on its own is irrelevant to 'bottoming out' - I was referring to being 7 and entering the GC having only raced at the level he has.Originally posted by Faugheen_Machine View Post
He has some experience, but you want proper graded experience on your CV going into a Gold Cup. All very well lobbing along comfortably on heavy ground vs 130's horses - comfort zone 101. On better ground vs serious animals he could be taken completely out of his comfort zone, which is something connections need to think very carefully about before making their decision.
Or they could look at it the other way - find out how good he is in 2021 and hopefully celebrate a Cheltenham winner, then look forward to him in 2022.
Like I said, I hope he comes here, I just don't think he will.Comment

I feel like if you emailed that to VW and RR, they'd declare it on the spot he'd run in the Gold Cup.Originally posted by Saxon Warrior View Post

Not been on this forum very long but it’s been long enough to realise that their are some very well respected knowledgeable people on here. So to have a horse come along and get so many of those people talking about him and debating is testament to the horse and his unknown potential. Personally I hope this carries on to gold cup day.Comment

Lets face it.
I'm sure I've said so much already.
They'd be fucking stupid to run in any other race.

Saxon has just posted prize money for Cheltenham races. If RP was placed in the GC he'd pick up around the same as if he would winning the NHC. Another reason why the GC is fav.Comment
