Those poor feckers with long term bets on Buddy Rich for this. Sickener.

Or on the other hand NRNB bets are refunded and money isn't down the pan after he would have pulled up, anyone with an ante post bet however it's a shame they won't get to see him pulled up

Oh of course. But when you get one through the winter and on the day the place turns into the Somme - you're bloody unlucky.

Exit Poll for me in this. Full borther loves heavy ground, sire and damsire have horses that do well on heavy and he should lead, which has worked well for LHomme Presse already today
 
Global Citizen looks an odds ball here
134 over hurdles.
Been hurdling in Grade 2 and listed since last wind op, running RPR's of 147 adn 143. Chase mark 136.
Will need to jump but seems weird to throw him in this race, a chase....

40's
 
Can't say I fancied him too much over fences but he's just paid for my festival and a bit more. :indecisiveness:

Changed my mind for this and going to do an outsider for this who I think has a genuine chance if the horse goes and I really hope they do, Global citizen, I couldn't believe the horse is on a rating of 136!!. Its gone down a massive 20lbs off its chase rating and was racing with the likes of Rouge Vif, Al dancer and Notebook. The horse has been racing over hurdles and has an entry for the county hurdle, personally I think the horse would have a much better chance here in a weak race. Buddy rich I have been tempted and I just can't help but think the horse lacks finishing its races off. Global Citizen is still 50/1 which I think is so over priced.

Called it a few days ago I knew the horse was well in for this

Frero Banbou backers can feel a little cheated there. How an earth are you giving so much ground at the start? Need to be in the front 5-6 of these big fields given the conditions
 
Absolutely brilliant. Maybe the British horses being dropped is the way to go in these handicaps.
 
As if the day couldn't get any worse, I thought I'd backed Global Citizen and I realised I only had him in a multiple. :grumpy:

Fair play Global backers, thought he needed a flatter deck. Odd tactics with Gumball on a day when you need to be up there.

Gave him the same ride in the Dolos race. Easy to see why that day now in hindsight, but that was a shocker today.
 
The winner did win the Wayward Lad Novices Chase and 4th in the Arkle behind Put the Kettle On - but then seemed to lose his way over fences. Fiddle or inspired training?

think if you take a look at my diary I pointed out a while back he had wind problems, successful wind surgery has seen him return to a 150 horse, so it's neither a fiddle or inspired training, just a horse running to his form
