Walsh is the better jockey for the big event

Very very true, you cant go wrong lumping on Ruby to be top jock of the meeting he'll do the same at Aintree.

Agree that Coleman is also the future not sure about Townsend tho, he's had a few shockers on the Mullins horses.

I think I was the only person at Cheltenham on Weapons Amnesty. Every little sheep cheering on Ruby's mount as it looked like it was going to get up but Russell drives his horse out to win - SILENCE

Well done, Dave ! Silence really can be golden sometimes, eh?

I had a little anti-post nibble on Weapons Amnesty myself. Taking into account his previous form over 3 miles, and the trainer's excellent record in the race, I had him down as a "must bet".

I didn't have the privelege of cheering him on from trackside like yourself -I had to make do with watching on a portable telly from the tap room of a particularly ropey Bradford pub.

But he paid for my beer for the rest of the day, a takeaway curry, a taxi home, and a family sized box of Anadin next morning....so I'd guess I was nearly as happy with the result as you !

Will Denman make it to the National? Can't see it myself.

denman taken out of national b4 he ran gold cup. if he stays fit and keeps form possibly in 2011 national

just got back to work after a week off. backin ruby in every race apart from champion chase paid off

Denman's not running again this season. You'll get used to it, Findlay talks so much rubbish it's unreal.

Kauto is the real champion

the price now looks good but @ 5/4 all that had to happen was for him to get trampled on when falling off tatanen and the game would be over

Possible but unlikely.

Kauto Star is 3/1 to win next years gold cup, which is stealing money, im desperately ringing bookies to get a price for him to break the record and win 4 gold cup's, however no bookie is willing to give me a price.

not a dead cert as the horse has to stay fit. also if it comes up soft again like last year then denman or even neptune could be the 1. was mightily impressive this year though and for some reason people still knock him
