Can’t see where else to put this, so here seemed best!
Can someone educate me on Under Control staying the mares trip and being a serious player for it? In light of Iberico Lord winning the greatwood her rating of 136 could be lenient for the Gerry Fielden (which I believe is her target) if she wins that I’ve read she could be a champion hurdle possible outsider (66/1) but with the trainer already having constitution, instead of following in the epatante exact route could she step up in distance and is 25/1 a price worth nabbing?
 
I have backed Under Control too for the Mares Hdl , based on a case put up on The cheltenham Exchange - ( i think ) .
Pretty sure since then , i have seen or read Nicky H saying hopefully all roads lead to Cheltenham - Mares Hdl. :angel: .
 
I'd be more inclined to back her for the gerry fielden then reasses after if she wins

Yeah would be a massive statement for me if she went there - as you know I was mad keen on Luccia for it (still think she'd go close given the flatter track after her performance in the Greatwood), but the fact any other mare might go for it would be a big eye catcher for me with respect to how he sees them in his pecking order :encouragement:
 
robith I'm not sure stoking the fire of an already fractious situation is the right thing to do.
Both members are appreciated in many ways, and if your character was questioned by another member i'm odds on you'd bring up any information to enlighten people on the situation.

Cheers Aaron.

I'm happy to put it to bed now, people can read through and make their own minds up.
But if anyone wants to talk further then that;s ok too.:highly_amused:

Crack on talking shite about the horses .

Don't @ me u sausage

Edit: cos that's a niche reference that probably lands more antagonistically than it appears - it's an Ellis Genge tweet from when he was tagged in a video getting tackled.

For context - I used to post on an internet music forum back in the day. One day, the DMs became open in a coding mishap and a guy started just posting of all them. Put a lot of people in uncomfortable positions but he argued we shouldn't have expected them to be private, he had every right to share them, censorship to not.

I'm not accusing Q of this, but that guy turned out to be quite the wrong un - and so for me, I find doing that questionable. The grief is between Sax and Q, I make no judgements on the relative merits of their disagreements. I personally just find that action beyond the pale. Would make me reconsider using the messaging function if someone's just gonna drop the contents on the forum

Having breakfast for dinner tonight - can't wait

Way too much drama across the Forum today. May I suggest we all go to bed. Clear the heads and get back to talking about the GG's. Just saying.
 
Can I bring this round to something sensible please. Kevloaf has a new avatar of Monkfish (gotta be 17 hands) in cake form? That needs explanation.

It's actually my original avatar from when I joined

Ruby Walsh, on Vautour - year after his JLT win - my Mum got a 'cake lady' to do it

Should never have changed it, I just got a bit obsessed with Neon Wolf for a bit :chuncky:
