@DFrankcom Far too classy for the AB on that performance

@dontgiveafuk100 Gold cup horse mark?

[BH @benhancock_]

@IamMattyStevens @mambomurph @MarkO_HKR @racingblogger But bets are sometimes translated on to the system later on. There is also the argument that he gets a bigger stake and returns if they place even if the win can’t be paid at the full amount

[BH @benhancock_]

@ellislfc2 @racingblogger He’s becoming an expensive certainty mate. Not shown any of the same ability since the time off and fallen the last twice.. I wouldn’t like to have my money on even in a race like that

[BH @benhancock_]

@ellislfc2 @racingblogger Just like he was the last two runs🧐

[BH @benhancock_]

@RyanWhatmough @tayz2017 Also looked like he wanted a step up in trip at leopardstown though. Looked outpaced early

[BH @benhancock_]

@wood_bradders @PhilRichards01 @racingblogger Will be 9yo by then and regressing from age at the least. He hasn’t even shown any of the same ability this season to qualify still at the level of the best/2nd best

[BH @benhancock_]

@MrBlue1701 @RacingPost Look how many top horses Willie has that don’t last past their novice seasons or a year in open company. Plenty of horses struggle to keep up at willies and CH came to Nicky with issues as well. Personally think that’s very harsh

[BH @benhancock_]

@Snail722717 @NeilMcConnell70 @IzzyPhillips Thing is them two had hard races and we’re all saying they have cracking chances and no question about the turn around. Gold cup was a fair pace though mind

[BH @benhancock_]

@CaseyjohnAFC @RacingPost Not sure about how he’s come out of the GC but he would’ve walked it this year if targeted for it

[BH @benhancock_]

@icyestretro It’s a different race these days though. The number of horses there towards the finish last year makes it feel more like a glorified handicap and not quite the national as we knew it

[BH @benhancock_]

@dontgiveafuk100 Absolutely mate considering some of the holes you can poke in them. I’ll be honest it’ll be a disappointing day competition wise if the acca does come in

[BH @benhancock_]

@Christo20805012 @racingblogger Won’t get any good ground on the cross country course by the looks of it. It is different to the other 2 courses and has no proper drainage

[BH @benhancock_]

@_fraz6 @Hennersr93 @TWEnclosure @itvracing On what basis? He won it last year ffs

[BH @benhancock_]

@tayz2017 @KyleMckernan1 Cheers for these updates

[BH @benhancock_]

@DawsonsRightPeg @grahamstuart How does that explain this pivot from Trump though? He has completely undermined the entire international order and weakened all of our positions in the world. Why?

@mcevoy_tom31760 @swadlad @ReinItInHR Bang on mate. Need to keep a level head with races like these at the festival. This is the bet of a lifetime for some people that could put them in a pretty rough position on day 1

[BH @benhancock_]

@icyestretro This is top work icy. Looking forward to the next ones. The two spaces last year with hector and the one that fell apart with some drunken arguments actually struck more of an authentic chord for the actual punting reality of Cheltenham than any preview night ever.
