He was going well today, and just as he made his move he ended up falling. Didn't fancy America or total recall , but the latter ran a great race.

Rugeley Villa Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Who's everyone on tomorrow in the big one? Two obvious choices are Blaklion and Vieux Lion Rough . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on Vic De Touzaine (20's) and Highland Lodge (12's) both e/w in the same race. Other races I might take a glance at deeper and see if a bit of value can be also found elsewhere across the cards.

Rugeley Villa Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I really fancy Vieux Lion Rough. He has a great record on heavy. As De Mee also takes my interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 You could probably make a good case for quite a few of the runners. Annoyingly i had Gas Line Boy at a very decent price Antepost, but he's ended up in the Grand Sefton not the Becher - the perils of Antepost!. So i've gone for Viva Steve and Goodtoknow, both small stakes EW, for a bit of interest. Fergal O'brien having a good season, and Goodtoknow has a decent record on soft and heavy. Hopefully one of us gets a winner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Absolutely gutted watching starchitect, who was on the path to glory, break his leg and have to be put down. Fine horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 RIP - Sad shame. Adam & Claire Rooney have a great stable of horses scattered across the yards and shame to see one of their up and coming stars tragicially die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxtail hill was doing his usual setting the pace, but then starchitect left everyone behind. I was watching it and it sickened me. I suppose that's life, but yes it was tragic. The owners of guitar Pete should pass the victory over to starchitect in his honour because he left everyone that far behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I was reading a bit about horses with broken legs, and it really is a death sentence. People say why can't they retire them to a farm and let them live out their lives there. It really is not that simple and most of the time the only option is putting the horse down.

Correct, the amount of weight on their legs would just not be fair to expect them to live in pain. Sadly their only option is to sadly go to horsey heaven with the rest of the legends.

Rugeley Villa Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Big race today at kempton with the king George. I like Bristol de mai, but I don't think the ground suits today. Tea for two is a great E/W bet at 25/1 and has a great record at kempton. Then you have Thistlecrack and Whisper, but I'm on Might Bite. Let's hope he don't do anything crazy today and start running the wrong way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope he don't do anything crazy today and start running the wrong way Yeah Might Bite seems the horse to be on.. a weird race and at first glance would do the Nicky Henderson 1-2 with Whisper in the forecast. Bristol de Mai, Tea for Two could pose a threat. I would definately avoid the 2.10 - 4 Horse race and the fav is 1/7.. avoid like the plague. My bet for today is 5pts Mite Bite with a 2pts F/C with Whisper. Best of luck to those getting involved today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a bigger field I'd take a E/W punt on tea for two, but he's up against it today. The race has come too soon for Thistlecrack, imo. Just can't see Mite Bite being caught. Heavy ground, then I'd of been on Bristol, but can't see him cracking it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes same as you Ruge, had a look across the cards but nothing is really leaping out at me other than the King George, and that is not exactly a star studded field itself. If forced I would perhaps also maybe whack a few of Dickie Johnson's rides at Wetherby in a Win stake Lucky 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
