Cheltenham 2025

Marine Nationale trainer has said he has aimed the horse to peak for this race and is confident it will run a good race. I went head over heart think if Marine Nationale wins would be great for all involved when you think of his jockey that won in Cheltenham dieing after a nasty fall a few weeks back might be written in the stars that this horse wins.

Fucking starter is a tosser, every bastard year, and that then was a shocking start, Jonbon would have pissed that otherwise, easily

Even if he started the race better he was not going to win. Marine National had way too much. After the last he didn’t have to do anything. As for Nico he’s under pressure big time on 2 big favourites 1 fell and the other hit one hard. Like a fool i went with Jonbon so goes to show I went with the hype horse.

Hardly an hype horse, it’s a cracking beast, I mean how the fuck it pissed through them to finish second was beyond belief, others would have given up, and as De Bonville said the tape was under its nose, as I said a shocking start which ultimately cost it the race

The starters have been a complete disgrace they fucked up the cross country aswell as the ultima yesterday. Ooh look at me I've got a flag I'm really important.

What a story though the 2 horses Michael O'Sullivan rode to victory 2 years ago at Cheltenham both winning back to back. Its magical this festival still it really is.

The tape was under all the horses noses. The winner had the same start as Jonbon. Also they showed the start and focused on Jonbon and Nico moved him closer to tape. He has himself to blame. Trying to find excuses for a short price winner not winning. How many combinations in the last 2 day’s went on a Nico horse 2 sure things it’s hard to win any race at Cheltenham this shows even the favourites can regularly get beaten in jumps racing that’s why we love it.

Always seems to underperform at Cheltenham Jonbon for whatever reason, all his defeats have come round here.

I'm fuming I'd £200 on it, as I thought it was a banker, even though it had never won at Cheltenham before, Nico said he wasn't wanting to blame anyone, but he was generally pissed off with that start, and he's been around in the game years, so he knows what he's on about.

Why did the start make him jump badly?

Standing start was poor for all of them, Solness was worst affected by it imo. Think Nico was looking for excuses though personally.

That's what I feel I do wonder if he's got a bit of pressure with that job with Henderson maybe there might be a change of stable jockeys who knows. Sometimes a change is good for all. Just looking back at the top stable jockeys Henderson has had in the past I don't think they get found out as much as Nico over the years

Deffo this . Henderson not the force of old the last couple of seasons and powerful multi millionaire owners demand winners and glory for their huge investments. Possible De Boinville has had his time at Seven Barrows , he did recover well on Jonbon today however but JP would have had a huge punt to win presumably. Constitution Hill owner looked proper pissed off yesterday and 100% record gone . Ruthless game !
