The Cheltenham Festival 2014

Just seen Paddy Mullins says he mightn’t go on Twitter. His price should be a lot longer on the machine if he’s a definite NR though.

Only left in if something, God forbid, happens to The Fly. JP will be well peeved if it runs after shelling out 20k to bring in CaptainCeebee:p

Would be some spectacle if CCB and UDS head off and take each other on!

What business has JP supplementing CCB for 20k for the champion?

Worried that lack of pace will do MTOY and Jezki. I thought they would let Jezki try and make all. Fact that they are not doing so would lead me to believe that there is not an awful lot between Jezki and MTOY.

I reckon AP chooses Jetski. He’ll want to make up for all the ballsed up rides he’s given it so far.

Live Betfair preview here with Nicholls, McCain, Chapman, The Couch and The Voice

Barry Geraghty confirmed he rides Jezki

Nicholls losing the rag here

The Couch
‘there’s been more bollox talked about Annie Power than any other horse in the history of cheltenham, must be the best thing to come out of Ireland since Una Healys tits’:D:clap:

Total farce of a preview this btw, real cringe ameuter effort, someone will end up getting a smack, probably Chapman

How long has this been on mate? Great idea that they’re streaming these online now, they’re worth a look obviously taken with a pinch of salt though.

Their going race by race and are up to the Triumph now, be on for another hour I’d say. For all he said he thinks it wins Nicholls didn’t sound confident on Big Bucks at all

Would Nicholls be considered a good judge? Yes i know he’s champion trainer elect etc but has all the ammo, but if he thought a horse was going to win a race would his opinion be as good as say Johnjo O’Neill under same scenario?

Yes imo. If Jonjo thought a horse would win you’d be the last to know, Nicholls will tell you straight out what he thinks

I think Nicholls is different class.

If CCB tears off in front will it not play into The New One’s hands given his superior staying ability to MTOY?

SDG @ 9/4 is starting to look tempting now…on ratings way ahead of everything…

Chapman - “Gary O’Brien is owner of a horse called Bayan going in the Coral Cup, or at least part owner, with a group of hooligans.” :D:clap:

Sounds like O Brien wants Bayan to be saved for the flat.

seems to be a lot of support for the mullins novice artic fire in the county

As a judge when puts his neck on the block. Not disputing him as a trainer. Is he known to regularly tip up winners for example
