I used to think that way but rolling back through his stable tours he does tend to stick to his guns.

Remember when he said Kilcruit was 2m and Sir Gerhard was middle distance. And we spent the whole season torturing ourselves before he sent them to the exact races he said he would

At risk of being booted out of the forum for mentioning the Hunter Chase in September, hunter certificates for Ronald Pump, Fakir D'Alene & The Bosses Oscar in the HRI registrations the last two weeks.

Incredibly, The Bosses Oscar is still only 8 years old. I thought he was at least 10!

F'akir D'alene is also only 8 and potentially more interesting if he's fit and well RTC. Given Gordon's MO of trying to milk the weaker races at the Festival, I'm surprised he hasn't had a proper go at the Hunter Chase previously.

I saw today Peter Fahey reports The Big Dog sadly no longer with us.
Probably wasn’t a live Cheltenham horse so not added new post to the Out of Festival thread but added to the first post index.
Sad, thought he had a big National in him….

….Fakir 10-1 and TBO 14-1 with BFSB.
 
While it's safe to talk about hunter chase stuff, why is Premier Magic so big/down the list, relatively speaking, in the market? Have they hinted somewhere ive not seen of going a different way this season? Not like it's rare for a horse to double up (Pacha Du Polder arguable could have had a hat trick given it carried a cyclist round one year and still managed 5th) nor for an 11yo to go in.

It does seem bizarre there are half a dozen ahead of him, not only did he win last year he followed up in emphatic style back there in May.
He does seem to a horse that is disrespected, maybe winning at 66/1 and not going to Aintree creates the perception it had to be a fluke, but I remember reading an interview with Bradley Gibbs that he expected him to win in March and that everything went wrong in the race the year before, I'm sure the interview is out there somewhere.
I can't get massively excited at the race now but from a purely punting perspective there's an argument of juice in his price, maybe one to sneak into a multi or two...
 
12's is an obscenely disrespectful price. He should be fav based on his form.
 
I know his Fairyhouse run was gack but if you’re willing to forgive that which I am (he didn’t look right that day, never traveled a yard) Ferns Lock at 8/1 is one that I’ve been including in a few multiples. He was being touted for the BANC after his Gowran romp!

True dat. PM and him against the field would be my play this far out at those tempting prices.
 
Gordon just been interviewed amd asked about the Kerry National, Salvador ziggy is class act Jack will ride
 
Saint Sam just cartwheeled the last in a match race at Listowel, thankfully looked to get up ok straight away. He's not winning no Ryanair though.

Looks to have his own way of doing things once challenged thats for sure, didn't like how he ducked right before the last under pressure. Certainly wasn't over jumping the last fence and I think Paul thought the same asking him up.
