When you look at that field and the 1-2-3-4 you realise what a great crop we have for us to enjoy watching. I love Exotic Dancer its such a shame for him that he is the best horse OTHER than Kauto Star and Denman 2 of the best horses of all time. If he had been born 3 years earlier he could have won 2 gold cups.
My Will, Roll Along and Exotic Dancer all look good for the National, with My Will particularly well in on the weights.
Why wasn't Denman ridden more vigoursly??? Every time he's won he's dominated the field so why change tactics now? I found it very strange, the Nicholls camp wanted one horse to win _________________ King Kieren is an innocent man!
You're right Matt, terrible ride, absolutely shocking! Christian Williams was just as bad, were they both riding to be Nicholls 2nd jockey next year? Either that or they are both mentally wrong! _________________ King Kieren is an innocent man!
He would of been told to ride Denman like that. It was clear they had no idea how he would go, so rode the horse for the best possible finish. Although he looked much better than Kempton, he still hasn't fully come in his coat.
Next year providing both horses make it will be the race of our lifetime. Although I feel they may train Denman for the National as he will be 10 next year, leaving it another year and being 11 could very well be against him. Plus they will want to give Kauto every opportunity of getting his 3rd. Will depend alot on how Cooldine does next year.
