2024 Gold Cup

….Hills straight forecast;

1st GDC; 2nd Fastorslow 11/2
 
Shishkin not declared currently, and Hendo has made declarations in all other races, so it looks as though he won't be turning up.

Just noticed Fastorslow has had a wind op since the DRF

I’ve been a supporter of this horse and really fancied him for the gold cup. However, was growing concerned about him over testing conditions, and I don’t know what to make of this wind op. Has to be a negative? Or could it be a positive - they may have found something and ops should help

not a fan of horse having aids ahead of a major grade 1 race like this

may have to had another think
 
Would love to see galopin put on a show

His win at Christmas was breathtaking

Really think he's the best since kauto and hoping he proves it today.

Great to see Gerri put in a proper run!

Fastorslow running lose really worried me, think Charlie Deutsch was very clever in keeping him there infront of Galopin for a long time.

Superstar! I hope that puts a positive spin on our sport, went through some shite this week, but horses like that really put it on the map! Pure class. Great race too. That was brilliant for National Hunt racing. Gerri ran a cracker too.

That was a class race, really high quality stuff
 
Fair play to Paul, must be some next level pressure but he and horse delivered in a fantastic gold cup! Properly exciting race.

Absolute class.
 
I've only been into racing for 4 years at this point due to my age, but my god GDC is equine brilliance. Please bring il est francais over next year for a clash of the ages

Is Willie gonna do a vautour and pit fact to file in the Ryanair

Would love one of galopin or fact to file to run in the King george.

Fact to file looks made for it, a pacey 3 miler

I think someone (maybe Willie?) said Fact to File would have a similar campaign to Galopin this year so start over the mid trip in the John Durkan. Might not then go to the King George but I assume Frank and JP will have their own thoughts. He jumps slightly to the right and has a lot of pace so the King George would look ideal.

You'd say gaelic will be campaigned over 2m and 2m4f so fact to file looks the one if they fancy a runner

I do still think gaelic warrior has a huge chance if they ran, the trips seem to come a like to him

I'd be against il est francais whod be a short priced fav, he looked awesome but that was against hermes allen

Have to say that the owner forcing bravemansgame to run at haydock has completely ruined the horses season and to an extent his reputation/legacy

I'm convinced he'd have won a 2nd King george with shiskin coming down if he'd not run at haydock.
