I do think he'll go Ryanair. And im covered for both.
If them 3 run that's a very good trial at ascot. imo the winner should be fav for the ryaniar and go there with a favourites chance

Yeah I've got both races covered and completely agree, those 3 would all be huge factors in the race.
 
Smad place retired. Proper good horse and always trying his best.

One of my favourites. Backed him for the Ryanair a few times which I think he'd have taken some stopping in some years.

Loved his Hennessey win.

Everybody ...Should we have a specific thread to say goodbye to horses that retire or pass away or not?

Absolutelt brilliant idea Kev. If I had my way itd be permanently stickyed. The Fat Jockey Hall of Fame
 
Well at least CI is alive. Not a very upbeat bulletin.
 
Think positive Mayo I have him at 33's for Gold Cup. Just think he win the Gold Cup I am happy with most of my ante post bets so far this year.
 
I have a Coney island - ryanair chs 20-1, Minella rocco -gold cup -20-1, each way double . Thought , that they have M.R. for gold
cup , so Ryanair more likely for C.I . and I said earlier in the thread
that they would
probably go easy on him this year . and maybe Gold cup next year.

I hadn't thought about that being the case until earlier today. I like that bet a lot :encouragement:

In fact, at 440/1 with WINNER (got an account with them, that I do not remember, fantastic - must be literally every bookie in excistence I've got an account with) I'll have 0.5 pts e/w on that

Blaklion skips this and goes for Grand National according to Greg Wood.

Strange decision by connections.

* Whisper ruled out for season as well.

Oh ffs.

Shambles



Edit - Just checked my bets.. At least they’re NRNB. Even the 40/1.
 
I'm really surprised about Blaklion. I took half at 33/1 thinking connections are bullish and would have a stab. They must think it would hurt his National claim quite seriously...

Sucks doesn't it. February will be littered with news like this. Just have to dodge the bullets best you can and hope for the best
 
Commiserations to those with Blaklion. If he transferred the big fence style he obviously had an outside squeak.

Sorry if it has been asked before but does anyone know what has happened to Bachasson?
