2016 Cheltenham Festival Day 4 Yankee (by MMG)

loveracing said:
MMG - I quite like the look of Clondaw Warrior 16/1 in the County, he looks well treated. Whats your views on him?

I am trying to work out which is WM's plot horse for this race.:confused:

CW has a great record when fresh, 4 wins and a second after a break of more than 60 days, appears to have been kept back with that in mind so has to come into the reckoning

I took 14's nrnb for the County today with 365. If he runs he will probably go off 8's-10's with the Ruby factor.
 
MMG gave interest in Starchitect in the Betfair Hurdle which he ran a cracker on stable debut and his first run of the season. I do like horses with good fest experience from the previous year.

Could he go close for the County now? My concern would be he will try to make all which will never happen in this big field.

In the Exeter Cheltenham Preview Evening DP quoted "Starchitect will hopefully come on for finishing 2nd in the Betfair and what also was encouraging was he made a bad mistake, but is more likely to run in the County and he should be competitive.

You're spot on there LR, I did like the look of him in the Betfair and backed him accordingly, nice 16/1 second, thought he was going to hang on for a while, but his front running style worries me in the county, plus does he get a penalty for that, not sure.
I have warmed to your suggestion of Clondaw Warrior and I like Next Sensation for the Grand Annual, could be 2 Yankee places there, will have to sort this out for next week, so thoughts welcome everyone

Funny as you say that MMG about CW. I have now started to warm to Dicosimo for the County(though front running again a problem) because of the following quote by WM in his stable tour, Though you can't believe a word at this moment.

"Arbre De Vie, Children's List, Clondaw Warrior, Kalkir and Petit Parisienne would look ones for the Coral Cup".

I have backed the following 3 for the County with my biggest liability on Dicosimo.

Dicosimo 25/1 nrnb
Clondaw Warrior 14/1 nrnb
Starchitect 16/1 nrnb

All with a fair shout MMG. I wouldn't think twice to place that bet.
 
They all look good to me MrM.

Good stuff guys, couple of days to make our decision yet, also hoping STD goes for Connetable, still has options, interesting that he's already dismissed Zubayr and given that ride to little Nicky

I think Sam TD will ride Clan Des Obeaux in this and he will go off much shorter than 16/1. Really positive comments about him at a preview the other night.

I think that would have to be a consideration, last time I read a quote from Sam though I got the impression he was leaning towards Connetable
 
Seagal tipped Superb Story for the County at the Dunraven preview. He had gone under my radar but seems to have been put away after the Greatwood for this. Skelton might have learnt from Nicholls what is needed in the race.
 
Anyone know what Codd and Katie have in Foxhunters ?

Nina on Favourite, DOC on Supasundae.

Heard an interview with a stable connection on atr and she said two she thinks will run well at big prices were Superb story in the County and Three Musketeers in the JLT, both forgotten horses she reckoned

I like Supreb Story for this race. Hoping for a dry festival, a Duke of Marmalade that can't have the ground fast enough.
 
Great Field 10/1 for the County.

I like the way he strides. Looks a powerful horse thats going places.

Well guys I've been pouring over the preview thread, along with individual forum threads and looking for connection comments and I have to say those original 4 I put forward for the Friday Yankee look very well fancied and their preparation has been geared nicely to have them peaking at the right time. If it's OK with everyone I'll stick to those, The ones put up in the County look good suggestions but the race seems to have more angles than any of the others on Friday.So this is it;

Connetable, Triumph
Gangster, Bertie B
Djakadam, (Nap)Gold cup
Next Sensation, Grand Annual

Hope this suits the majority, fingers crossed lads
