    Kilcruit beaten at 1/14!

    Loads of questions re the heat though as he did beat 14 horses by 24 lengths and upwards. If Largy Debut hadn't run, right now, we would possibly be proclaiming Kilcruit a superstar because of his wide margin win!

    But does Largy Debut's romp make him a superstar??? Even the latest reincarnation of Pegasus???

    But whatever the answers I'd wager Jonbon is now on the short side of short re the Supreme.

    Jonbon between 5/2 and 3/1 for the Supreme - Kilcruit out to 10s. Lieutenant Henderson has the first 2 in the betting with yesterday's runaway Sandown winner Constitution Hill a best-priced 5/1 shot. Irish domination - what Irish domination? <laugh>

    Some wonderful jumping at speed in the Peterborough Chase and First Flow did that really well.

    Time for the big one now, hopefully it will live up to expectations.

    Very good Energumene. Will be some clash with Shishkin, hopefully it will materialise one day.

    15:27 Huntingdon - Peur De Rien

    (Top weight but should do well in this contest. Jonathan Burke takes the ride for the Oliver Sherwood yard. Best price is 9/1 in a couple of places at time of writing, probably 17/2 would be more realistic.

    Think I will also put-up a cheeky Rev. Forecast with the top and bottom weights, i.e. Lord Sparky and Peur De Rien! :emoticon-0105-wink: :bandit:).

    Well done, Pilgrim! <ok>

    Darn it, mine was withdrawn, not under orders, confident he would have given Macfin a run for his money! Never mind, that's racing! :emoticon-0101-sadsm :bandit:
    Enjoyed the racing at Punchestown. You know, young Bryony 'might' well stay over there permanently? Love conquers all?

    Willie M. seems to be inclined to go to Kempton. Fingers crossed.

    From Sportinglife:

    "Asterion Forlonge was running a cracker when he put in one of his usual mistakes and unfortunately came down but there’s a big race in him some day when the stars align. We might head to the King George with him."
