Perhaps just treat it as if they have. Everyone appears to want to pick at the scar over and over. I guess it’s human nature but reading all the posts it feels like people are just torturing themselves. Perhaps just assume it’s a done deal and anything different is then a bonus but at the moment people are allowing themselves to die by a thousand cuts which can’t be healthy.
 
Question to Patrick Mullins…..

From a pure sporting perspective, how excited are you by the prospect of Galopin Des Champs taking on Bob Olinger?

I'd love to see it happen. If there weren't three Grade 1 novice chases at the festival, and there shouldn't be, it would definitely be happening. There are only two at Punchestown so if not at Cheltenham then hopefully we'll see it there.

Seems to be saying it might not happen at Cheltenham. Every day a different view?!

I read that comment earlier in the week, Tue/Wed maybe ?
May well have contributed to the recent exchange activity…

Yeh lots of back and forth Lobos. Its a bit of puzzle, but I think when we piece together whats been collectively said, plus what we see, the Turners just doesn't make as much sense as here. The above is basically PM intimating it won't happen. We know Willie (barring Don Poli) campaigns his RSA horses over 2m5f before stepping up to 3m for the first time, thats just how he operates. We know post DRF that Willie said 'I wasn't as happy watching Galopin Des Champs jumping at Grade 1 pace as I was at Christmas'. He wouldn't have an easier time jumping v Bob Olinger over 2m4f than he would over 3m v BMG. On debut Willie said 'galloped away through the line and beyond it' and then after DRF said 'Galopin Des Champs still hit the line well' - a lot was made about how hard he was hitting the line and that to me screams RSA not Turners. Last year Willie stepped him up to 3m and it was his best performance - he loved it.

Agree with this Rooster, what will be will be now. Nothing can be done anyway, cash outs are gone, bets are down months ago.

Obviously from personal financial positions, I want Galopin here like everyone else (well most). I also think this is his best chance of winning, I am definitely in Bobs camp over 2m3f (60 odd yards?). I think Galopin would tuck away this field no problem, Ahoy maybe stay on for second with Bravemansgame not seeing it out up the hill, possibly being caught by Capo or Gaillard depending who ran here.

What I would say is, I seen a few days ago someone mentioned Bravemansgame tried to go with Bob but I think that covers up the reality of what happened, let’s not forget it was turning for home Bob took it up, wasn’t as if it was a mile out and Bob was increasing the tempo and bravemansgame was trying to keep tabs on him. Of course Bravemansgame is going to try and go after him it was the bloody home straight :biggrin-new: to me that says he didn’t see it out. He may be stronger etc which is likely but that doubt is there for me. Gaillard put 4 and a half lengths between him and Bravemansgame over the last to the line.
 
Ruby on the PP preview liked Capodanno for this. Pretty sure he said Gaillard Du Mesnil comes here too. Was barely a mention of GDC.

Yeah not one person spoke about him on the panel.

I’d say even if the decision isn’t made, it’s 90% Turners.

P.S the stream is SH1T, had to turn it off doing my head in haha!

He did. The most emphatic answer of the night. “He runs.”
 
Would expect to see more of a reaction on Betfair if he'd said that about GDC

Sorry - yes GDM. Should’ve been clearer I was answering Viking’s second statement.

Lydia asked him straight up and he answered that.
 
I still can't get my head around the GDC decision but there we are. Really strange. 2m3.5f for a horse that's best form is at 3m. Crazy.

I guess PT is on GDM then. Uh.

I don't think Ruby said or meant G.D.M in this race , ..Just he Run's.... ( at the festival ) .... In My Opinion !.........also the sound was naff.!
 
Venetia Williams is favouring taking on Bravemansgame in the the Brown Advisory with L’Homme Presse rather than running in the Turners “The owner is very keen to step the horse up to three miles. Unless we get plenty of rain, I think we’ll run him in the Brown Advisory.”
