Can anyone with half an ounce of horse racing knowledge/insight give me an opinion as to whether Sprinter Sacre can be beaten today?
Just read that it's won all 7 of it's races by an aggregate of 95 lengths, never winning by less than 6.
You can never say never but unless something goes down in front of him and he doesn't get injured in some way, it's pretty safe to say he should win.... But this is racing and stranger things have happened.
Aghhhhh. Pipped on the line. He's a bit of a monkey Tofino Bay. Went again when the winner got to him and crossed the line with his ears pricked. Rival D'Estruval falling didn't do TB any favours. Jumping OK but a few guessy ones perhaps indicates why novices shouldn't take on the GN.

Mugged by the Mullins' .. I am sure that a tougher Jock would have driven him home. He'll defo get the GN trip, as will Back in Focus !!
The first two of my Lucky 15 (Godsmejudge and Pont Alexandre) can be filed in the "Epic Fail" category. Now relying on Unioniste in the 2.40 and Shield in the 5.15 otherwise I'm going to have to have Twitter words with Balding!

boston bob in the next
Nathan wasting his dole money again!
Had Bob but liked the winner and 2nd too. The last race they all ran in, Boston Bob won, just ahead of Lord Windermere, just ahead of Lyreen Legend.
Would have been exactly the same again had he stayed up
