Queen Mother Champion Chase 2019

Altior is an absolute machine. Loved that - he is just about my favourite ever horse.
 
In the good old days, he'd now go and win the King George, which is there for the taking.
 
Slaughtered them
 
Sceau Royal & Saint Calvados not in the same county as Altior. Un De Sceaux gives Willie a good indication for the chances of Footpad though, and ran his usual brilliant self.

He's no way as good as Altior but sceau royal shouldn't have ran today on that ground. It's factual that he dosent go on it.

"He's not a horse you want to be pulling around in deep winter ground and Doncaster tends to be a nice surface most of the time, that's why we've favoured the Lightning over the Kingmaker at Warwick."
 
He is the weapon of all weapons. Nothing beats him him whilst he stands up

The Ryanair becoming increasingly likely for that fellow. Pending the Hilly Way.
 
Good God what a horse. Imagine going from training a once in a lifetime horse in Sprinter and then having Altior waiting in the wings

I think they probably know Altior is unbeatable.
 
Monster , what a horse he is. Great horse but to become a ALL TIME GREAT he must step up in trip , nothing left to prove at 2M after March.

Buveur D'air not too shabby either !.
 
Just in from work and watched the tingle creek, just wow! Altior is a total monster, credit also to UDS. Who ran a monster race.
 
Cracking performance by Altior and very happy and equally surprised that SC managed to get 3rd when clear 4th jumping the last, thereby rescuing my stake from a dodgy AP bet
 
Interesting that Nico said they went at proper championship pace yet they were four seconds slower than the novices

Did you see the ground by then? Deteriated considerably. Was a bog.
