Think Quevega said he had Brighterdaysahead running to around 150, which by the looks of it, many agree on.

Hard to judge the horses in behind, KOK, done his usual, travelling well but not good enough, and DLL is just a headcase. She done all she could, at the end of the day.

Unfortunately, unless The Yellow Clay was going to win by 30 lengths, it was always going to be a low RPR. The horses in behind him were are bang average (that's being kind, I feel). His main challenger failed to offer up anything. The Yellow Clay only won by 9 lengths, and I don't believe the time was all that, so can understand this one.

I had Firefox higher than what he was given though. I had him mid to low 130's. I felt Mossy Fen Park was a worthy adversary, place in a G2, over the trip over hurdles, he's solid enough, and Firefox beat him with enough in hand, IMO.
 
Bloody strange ride by Buick on Vauban, Midfield, then shuffled to the rear and then tried to get back into it on the bend. Never had a chance. A few roll ups down but i have covered a good few this weekend so can't complain too much. Still trying to get IEP (Arkle), El Fabiolo (Ryanair) and Teahupoo rolled up then my book is more or less done. Eyes peeled for the next opportunity.

When i say done, there is one horse i keep scratching my chin over. Slade Steel in the BANC. Lobos makes a compelling case. Any road to avoid Ballyburn leads here if he runs at Cheltenham. Not like HDB to fast track one up to 3 miles though. It's a poser.

Betfair & KG entries starting to come in - close at 12.

Willie currently has nothing in the BF but Emmet has chucked Corbetts in. :rolleyes:
 
Might be time to chuck RPR's in the bin :highly_amused:

Romeo Coolio given 110, when Prairie Angel in the first race, carrying 15lbs less, and an ever so slightly slower time, gets 111, having been ridden to win. Romeo done his on the snaff. I assume this will be revised.

That's not even close to what I thought he might get.

Makes even less sense when you compare his Top Speed (TS) figure in comparison to previous winners of the race.

It's definitely wrong as the mark should be at least 117 through the horse finishing 2nd.

Ignore that - thought the 2nd was a mare getting the sex allowance but the 7 pounds is the claim. Still increased to 120 and increased the 2nd by 2 pounds as well.

Nice early antepost kick in the gonads with FOS, hopefully not an issue but it'd be odd not to even get an entry otherwise.

Kick in the gonads is an understatement. Teeth and nails being pulled out by an ISIS interrogator is more like it. Balls deep in FOS I was

Ruined my Xmas already :grumpy:

Fastorslow not being entered hurts. Martin Brassil specifically named the King George as a target so there must be a problem. Anyone know anything or seen anything as to why he is not entered ? Teach me to be sat smug about 10/1. Another reminder Ante Post betting is a dangerous and expensive "hobby" !!
