Cheltenham 2020 - Ante post bets

They are all in the Racing Tv section on you tube
 
Hi guys.
What race do we thing the Big Breakaway is likely to run in ?
 
Bar Finian's Oscar, who he still got to win a novice G1, what novice hurdler/chasers has Tizzard cocked up?

In hindsight some might say Lostintranslation, but i'd argue even out of novice company you can see why Tizzard ran LIT over slightly shorter. He jumps and travels so well..

Not disagreeing totally, just can't remember them :very_drunk:

I'm a fully paid up member of the Tizzard fan club. Life is a roller coaster.

The two that stand out for me are the one you mention (cause Lostintranslation looked absolutely tailor made for the RSA) and Elegant Escape to the RSA and not the 4 miler.

He was advised by robbie power on LIT, and it worked out extremely well 2nd in the JLT 3m grade 1 win at aintree and add on what hes done this year.

It's not ballsing up at all, unless you had a bet for LIT in the RSA. In that case, you've ballsed yourself.

In general it feels like hindsight for a lot of it. I was a big LIT fan, and would've backed him for any race he went to.

Even Elegant Escape, yes hes a boat, and wasn't much different as a novice, but isn't tizzard just playing the long game generally?

I’m a big Lostintranslation fan and it’s just my opinion as you have yours
You’re suggesting it’s my pocket talking and yes I did bet RSA
Holding 14’s for Gold Cup and would love to see Tizzard on the podium

Think the horse is doing the talking over 3m mate :)
 
Ive never backed the horse but I think people who backed him in the RSA last year are perfectly entitled to think that would have been the better race for the horse, therefore question the Tizzards decision. Nobody can prove he wouldn't have won the RSA, especially when he went on to beat the winner.

Jockeys do get it wrong.

We all can get it wrong :devilish:

They can feel like he would've won it, but whats the point criticising a trainer, when clearly he made a decision based on first hand evidence, and the best interests of the horse. Of course running 3 miles isn't going to murder a horse, but a horse that races like he does, he probably wanted to let him go for the slightly shorter option and race like he does- prominent.

Hindsight is 20/20.
