Feel like the Jimmy today and festival bet deserved better.

Might have to take the 20s for the Stayers now :lol:

Nice to see Bob win again though

How is kopek 5/1 for the champion chase

Iv not had a single bet for next years festival

The prices are scandalous imo across the board

Youd think most of them were NRNB or something

Good old Bob. What a horse.
Jimmy the one to take out of the race for next season . Hope a few took the 33's.

Agree. Getting worse as each year passes.
 
…..nasty looking fall for Kopek.
Watched his fall back again. Odd fall? Seemed to jump it ok but landed steep and his front legs just crumpled under him. Be interesting what Willie/PT say.

I'd say watch it again, on the front angle you can see he never got his front legs over, they went through the fence.
For such a superstar he needs to work on a few things before next season, that said Gaelic wasn't straight forward in his early days either so..

Surely only one place Soldier In Milan will head next season, imo of course, will be the Grand National.

He got a stone off the Irish handicapper, be surprised if he gets too much more of the English, especially if pissing about in Grade 1’s before Xmas.
 
Zanoosh will be interesting, 3m a step too far at Punch, but on a line through Charme De Faust she's clear of the MNH form. Heavily raced this year though
