That should put all the fact to file champion chase bollocks to bed

Not going to say I told you so, but I told you so, Allaho mark 2 in regards Fact To File. Marine very impressive, he’s so good on good to soft or better.Comment

El Fab didn't deserve that, running the best he has done in a while, hope he's all good.
Fact To File beaten too early for it to be trip related imo, just looked like he'd had enough for the season, but I wouldn't be backing him for the QMCC either.Comment

As a fan of the horse after his arkle romp
Please either revert el fabiolo to hurdles or retire him
Before he hurts himself badly
Fact to file looked completely out of his comfort zone doubt he will run over the trip againLast edited by FinalFurlong91; Today, 05:22 PM.Comment

He looked great didn't he, can't hurt to throw another dart at Constitution Hill and see what happensComment

I’m not so sure, he was jumping plenty quick enough for the first mile or so, as quick or quicker than Marine at times. They have all had similar runs this season as well.Originally posted by EnvoiAlien View PostComment

Tbf allaho ran much much better than fact to file did todayOriginally posted by Craigy14 View Post
Allaho just bumped into chacun on his home patch. Hed have won today's race most likely.
Fact to file has now run over 2 miles 3 times in his life and been beaten every time. (Noticing that made me feel stupid for backing him for the CC. I'd still maintain it was a good bet as had he won well today he'd have odds on potential for next march)
Marine won well but doesn't set a standard that's unbeatable
Be down to gino to stay fit, kalif to continue improving or majborough to improve his jumping to beat him next marchComment

He did run better, was more in reference to trying 2m after being a runaway Ryanair winner, after being a not quite 3m+ horse.Originally posted by FinalFurlong91 View Post
Marine has put up 2 high 160’s, possibly 170 performance today, in a row now, don’t think Allaho would have beat him over 2m today, we will never know though.Comment

I'd say they were more mid to low 160s myself
Beating quilixios and old man captain Guinness doesn't convince me he's a 170 horse
He did win nicely though
It's just a piss poor division atm so he has nothing to test him
Had il etait temps turned up here not at Sandown that would've told us moreComment

Not even sure why they bothered trying Fact To File over 2m. But then Willie does some stupid things at times, despite his genius. I'm pretty sure most of the stupid things he does is on purpose though. He damn well knows what he is doing.
A bit like Craig above, I mentioned Fact To File reminding me of Allaho and good few times prior to the Cheltenham Festival, and I've seen nothing to prove I'm wrong yet. Had to be right about something I guess
Marine Nationale was superb again, holding up that Champion Chase form.
El Fabiolo needs a break from fences. It's really disheartening that they keep trying him over them for me. If they have the horses welfare at the centre of their minds they'll do the right thing now.
It sounds like Ballyburn is done over fences. Stayers Hurdle has to be a serious option now for him, if finding his novice hurdle form when going back over them.
That novice hurdle race was a farce, IMO. Salvator Mundi & Kopek cutting each other's throats. I was actually very impressed Salvator ended up 2nd, I thought he was going to end up out the back like Kopek did.
Pretty sure that race has thrown up some odd results in the past so I won't be taking the form too literally despite Irancy looking impressive.

Kopek looked beat after 100 yards to me
He's a bit of a nut job
So I suspect he's going to either not win a race next season or calm down and win everythingComment
