If Denman had got into a battle with Kauto, would Thomas have ignored the (presumed) instructions, and gone for the win as the rule book dictates?


Thank you for the paddock eye view! I'd assumed the instructions were basically not to blaze off as he'd done last year, to look after him and ride him as he found him. He certainly tried to kick on - and he appeared to ride him out to the line.

Ruby said he was surprised to see Denman still there at the top of the hill, and going well enough, which says volumes to me. I was pleased to see Harry say "and Sam on Denman2 when talking about next years clash.

I don't suppose you noticed if Ruby had anything to say to Tom after the race?

how is 10years old and elder statesman who will be having only his 24th run over fences at next years gold cup and by all accounts KS is better than he has ever been so how have i to get real?many would argue that im on a hiding to nothing.

I suppose the right thing to do Lochsong is have the match bet aswell if you think its 'unreal'

Go on walk the walk...

I'm agreeing with him David.

I'm surprised you haven't bitten his hand off. Being the match bet King and all...

I don't know if John Hales has changed his views on Neptune Collonges run now that we know he picked up an injury last week!

Nothing has been said!
