11/4 is not a price that's just based on today. When you look at how he won the RSA last year coupled with his record at Cheltenham it's easy to see why he is fav. I agree 11/4 is short at this stage but its not a price based just on what he did today.

Never said it was just for today? but it is ridiculous for a horse that has just won a hurdle race to shorten him so much, when he beats better horses than today over chases then 11/4 would be a fair price... but until then 11/4 is a joke..

second season novice, winning thyestes off 152. 100-1 :highly_amused:
better than Djakadam who won off 145 and went off 10-1 in gold cup next run. also fell in the jlt.
 
Invitation Only was beaten 16L by ABP, but not one bookies has shorten him.. in some ways its good to have PP a hot fav, because you can get 4/1 a place for an improving horse like ABP...

Can't knock the price tbf!
 
Brilliant from PP earlier (just catching up).

Any horse that wins in consecutive Festivals and possibly a third is a star in my eyes.

Couldn't agree more.
And how quickly the reigning champion gets forgotten because at double Percy's price I'd say the value lies there....

No way I'd back Native River in his third Gold Cup to beat Presenting Percy.

He'll loom up on him motionless while Richard Johnson is flapping around like he's single handedly trying to win the boat race.

Presenting Certainty is just a better horse and has just as good reserves of stamina (probably) :devilish:

How many times will Pat Kelly and Presenting Percy need to prove themselves?

He's shown he's in fine form ... so unless he's completely forgotten how to jump a fence, he's a justified favourite in my opinion

Nice spot. Well done.

I can't see how on earth he'd win a Gold Cup before today but he's no 100/1 poke
 
Lovely stuff from PP. He's the real deal. :triumphant:
Gold Cup here we come.

Brave statements there Kev.
Not convinced NR has anything to prove either and having been tried over unsuitable distances this year I’m of the view he has only enhanced his crudentials
 
What a great performance. PP is some horse. Pat Kelly is a genius. That's it.
 
Hosed up in the Pertemps. Hosed up in the RSA. And WILL hose up in the Gold Cup (Bellshill chasing him up the hill for 2nd).
 
Absolutely nothing to dislike about it but all Percy has done is to run to a little below his hurdle rating. I thought that Davy was less twinkly than usual post race.

less twinkly ??
:confused:
 
He's 11/4, not 4/11

He won't have chance to beat all the horses he'll be up against, because they want to beat them on one very specific day, and they've been very clear about it.

He'll be in better form on Gold Cup day than he was in today, and today he's beaten a decent group of animals.

In terms of ability, there is nothing not to like.

He hasn't proven yet he can beat Kemboy, Clan Des Obeaux, Native River, or Thistlecrack, Might Bite etc... but his overall profile means I am incredibly confident that he will...


I think he's a better 11/4 shot than Santini is, straight off the bat!
If I wasn't on, I WOULD be backing him at his current price, (I'd certainly want things 'rolling up' on him!)
