Not sure I agree with the second statement as Monalee still looked a stayer to me, but the winner was different class and should run a nice race in the gold cup...

Even if you thought he was a stayer he has still got tonked.

Yes we have all just seen PP is a classy animal but again the second was in the correct race, unless your a better judge than the owner, trainer & jockey??

But well done anyway...

So you don't think Monalee could have won a poor JLT? If you are disagreeing with me that is what you are saying.

I am not sure why you have mentioned all the connections as if they never make mistakes. If the owner had a large bet on the RSA it probably didn't matter what trainer and jockey thought.

Well he won extremely well. I was 100% wrong. Very well done to the winners. I can't believe how well he won. He's obviously alot better horse than I thought he was.

What price is he for next year's gold cup? :highly_amused:

Happy to take all criticism

Hi all, new to the forum but been reading all the knowledgable posts so thank you and love the forum. I was just curious as to why you were so ultra confident, to the point of not even backing PP at 33/1 and above why it had no chance? Full appreciate, and very big of you to come in and hold your hands up as to the fact you got it wrong - we do in this game! No need to answer but was interested in your thinking.

It was his run behind shattered love and jury duty where he diddnt travel with ease and made w few iffy mistakes. Also his run at punchestown over hurdles his 1st run in the top grade where he came nowhere. I had no respect for his win in the 3m4 handicap as the horses behind were awful.
And I thought he wouldnt jump well enough at pace.
He was very very good today.

If PP wins this. I know nothing about racing, I'll go out get a proper job and never gamble again. And all the money iv earned would have been pure luck rather than judgement.

Appreciate the reply and he was good, I thought course form and his run against Our Duke was strong enough form. Does it give much to enhance Our Dukes chances in the Good Cup - I’m not sure! Good ground would have been good for the horse I fancied - road to respect but can’t see that now. Good luck for the rest of the meet

I think he was 40/1 :p

Presenting Percy certainly divided opinion on here :highly_amused:

Good debate, can be nobody knocking him now as a genuine Gold Cup contender? Any ground, distance no problem, 'loves' Cheltenham, jockey top class over fences, doesn't matter what kind of prep he has!

Boost to Our Duke's claims too :p Goonyaboat!
