RSA Chase 2019

PitLad said:
SANTINI as short as 7/1 in places for the RSA, assume it's been an open day at Nicky's or something.
A bit of blue on oddschecker, anybody else getting excited about the middle of March ? :)

I guess that's why we're all on here :p

It's a little disappointing than an 'open day' can be the reason we lose a bit of (perceived value) in Mid-September before we'vfe seen any novices jump a fence yet though isn't it!
 
Cant remember if i posted on here but at our owners day, Santini was the one that Nicky went all doe eyed about, you could tell that he likes him and wouldnt surprised me if he turned out to be top class over fences.

You did mention this billymag, and I think that was the catalyst for the forum plunge....
 
Think I have Santini , in as many multi's as Penhill. , and a decent single :), Just hope the R.S.a it is !!.
 
Paul Keely put up Santini as his ante post Cheltenham bet today on the Racing Post podcast.

Still double figures but this is such an obvious shortener for anyone that likes to beat the book

Corals still have him 10's any race, although he would of had to of had a shocker of a season, not to end up here.
 
I can't see Santini anywhere else but at the same price (if you're having a single) you'd be mental not to take the "any race" price.Yet another example of that market being under-rated!

You can actually have multiples on corals "any race" too...

This has lured me in, couple of Trixies with Santini in the 'any race' market now.

Good man.... quiet on the forum for Santini over the last few days.

Has Sean finally won and got everybody on Topofthegame ? :p

Nope, I'm still loving Santini but the arguments have been made and no new ones as of yet :highly_amused:
 
Colin Tizzard on Kilbricken Storm

"He is obviously a Cheltenham Festival winner and I would say we would go novice chasing straight away but wouldn’t dismiss the Stayers’ Hurdle straightaway. He has the speed to win over two and he has won over three and I would love to run him in all the big staying novices’ chases."

I posted the below in the 4 miler thread regarding Kilbricken Storm and thought I might be a little bold but the Tizzard stable tour has given me plenty of belief...

Kevloaf said:
I fully expect him to go for the RSA, and (although this might be a little bold) I think if his chasing bubble is burst on route to the RSA they'd go for the Stayers Hurdle before the 4 miler

I think the standout 33/1 with PP and Betunfair is generous still... he'd be one of a very small number of Cheltenham winners in the race... which can't be under-estimated
 
Not the boldest Paul Nicholls quote I've ever seen here to Topofthegame

"He will be novice chasing in about six weeks’ time. He is a nice horse and he should make a smart staying novice."


Bit disappointed by that...

I felt the same. He seems to love Danny Kirwan though.
 
I thought he played down Danny Kirwan aswell personally. Probably trying to keep a lid two of his more exciting prospects for the time being. No sense hyping expectations this early in the season...

"He will go novice hurdling next month. He is a nice horse but is really a big chasing horse who will want a bit of time."

Agree with you Sean, that is also not a strong comment.



To be fair, trainer comments are low down the pecking order in terms of gambling on horses in my opinion....... it is just all we have tonight :highly_amused:

These were his words on Topofthegame a fortnight ago!

The tallest horse I've ever trained and has the talent to go with his size, though I've taken my time with him. The plan was to go chasing with him last winter until he was held up for a month after he was unlucky to come down at the tricky cross fence at Newbury. He then bounced back in style by winning a valuable Handicap Hurdle at Sandown before running a massive race to be second in the Coral Cup at the Festival. I can't wait to see this high-class giant of a horse back over fences again.

I’m sure like most trainers he’s sick of these pre season press requirements having to repeat the same old lines over & over again. I know I would be! Let the racing do the talking.

who is this with Kev? Could be worth a couple of points. Really like him for RSA this year.

Just put your two points on him now for the RSA at best price. If he wins put it all on for the Gold Cup next season. You'll get closer to 100/1 ( if he wins the RSA).
