Cross Country Chase 2019

Doesn't matter.

It's free money at any price :highly_amused:

Auvergnat winning a very competative handicap chase is as relevant as tiger roll winning a hurdle race.

FFS Scooby! Credit where credit's due! He's just stuffed Off You Go, Cracking Smart and Bachasson at their own game. Please? For once give a horse you haven't backed a break mate!

But once again. Just like percy.

How relevant is that To the cross country chase around the banks course.

It's a valid point.

and Tiger Roll has the C&D walloping of Auvergnat in the bag.

I wouldn't trade 7/1 for Tiger Roll for any bet.


Can't be beat :p

Agreed. My biggest antepost bet is Tiger Roll 6/1. Will be a very profitable festival if he wins. Might lay off a little on the day to take the edge off :)

Well.. we have a good idea he handles the banks and that proves he's fit and well and good enough to win a Boyne Hurdle - and rumours of an interrupted prep can be put to bed. But hey - good luck with Auvergnat
 
He’s a horse of a life time. 4 timer and. Back to back!! Coming soon! At least they won’t need too much bronze for when they build his statue...

Thank you. We'll see on the day.
Plenty can happen in a big field cross country chase, When your held up out the back.

Good luck with tiger roll.
 
The only concern with Tiger Roll was if the National has left its mark. He has put that to bed. Special little horse.
 
Gordon just said he was only 75% fit today ?
Don't they talk some shite when they're excited after a winner.

Why would he be 100% for that? He has said all season this is his Gold Cup..

He must have been very fit and well to run like that.
You don't win that race at 75%, in that fashion.
He's talking bollocks.
There's not a fitness thermometer running up his inside leg is there ?
And I'm sure Tiger Roll hasn't told him either.
