I do not like the gloating when someone is right, but saying that the info in this site so far apart from FP as been nearly spot on & very valuable..

OTBS was put up by someone saying it had a problem, shame another good horse out but I did not see it winning to be honest.

I can see a lot more getting pulled if the ground does not improve..
 
Just backed Next destination without samcro. Its 9/4 (they haven't pulled OTBS yet) but got a small priceboost on mobile
 
It is a shame that the negatives came from another trainer rather than Henderson himself.

Thanks Jim. These last 10 days have been truly horrible. Hopefully it's nothing to serious and he can make a great novice chaser for next season
 
Don't understand why Gigginstown would choose to run Mind's Eye in this rather than the Supreme. It looks as if getting Russell was the only plus. He can struggle to settle and looks speed over stamina. Surely they also know he can't beat the favourite?
 
Trifecta these two
1.Samcro
2. Next Destination
3. DDG

Fellow Samcro backers any concern about Elliot’s yard? Fair few fancied runners didn’t find much

Nope.

Tbf, given Mengli Khan's previous 2 runs he ran a blinder in the Supreme. AJ was mad keen and that cost her for me, but she still stuck to the task well.

This is my thought. MENGLI KHAN was 16/1. In that context he ran a fucking stormer

I'd have said the same about Hendo had BVD not won
 
Nerves are starting to get going, I think, for the good of racing I just want Samcro to be the level of hype that has seen him be backed all the way down to silly odds, it also helps the pocket, don't get me wrong, but I love a proper hype horse winning.

Good luck guys I know the vast majority are on samcro. I don't think it's a done deal by any means. Looks a very good competative race in prospect
 
Whooooooooooooooossssshhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
 
Well done lads. Next destination ran no race. I genuinely thought black op was going to do samcro before he flattened the last. Travelled and won very well.
 
Got to the front too early and idled rather than found little imo, he travels at such a pace he’d win next years champion hurdle for me but doubt they’ll go that way
 
Not much too say as it was 8/11 but won like a good thing and the future looks bright for him, RSA then gold cup 2020?

Well done all that was on big prices and I know there was plenty here ...
