7/1 for the 2009 Gold Cup

A massive price!! I am with Tighty..he's tired after a long season and made a mistake (2 actually.) Our Vic never would have won it if he hadn't..you won't get 7-1 for the GC at any stage after Kauto returns next year.

5/1 is the price PP are giving it.  Will have a look around.

Laddies 7/1

yep..and Laddies will pay for that very rapidly I think...

Great performance by Binocular, a flat horse on a tight level track....would back against him every time at Cheltenham up that hill which saps the speed and rewards stamina

Of course he never backed it, it won...if he had backed it it wouldn't have won.

Standard.  I backed the first 2 and then gave up.

As i said in my op i'm a big KS fan but i was fairly sure he would get beat today and horses that have a hard race in the Gold Cup don't do well in this race,i just picked the wrong horse to beat him.

While i agree 7-1 is a massive price for next years GC,it is possible we have seen the best of KS, French bred horses mature early but it may be the case they go over the top quickly too. I hope i'm wrong cos i love the horse.

[Colchester Kev]

My Lucky 15 for today

2.00 Blazing Bailey
3.45 Buckby Lane
4.20 Magic Sky
5.30 Ring the boss

only 50p each way, but a good start never the less.

5/1 winner
Fell when handy and in touch
touched off for a place at 16/1
placed 25/1

oh well ... pays for tomorrows punt.

Don't get me wrong..I'm not saying he'll win the GC next year..but if he goes to the GC you will never ever get anything close to 7-1.
