I was really annoyed that the donkey of the race created two false starts. You should not be allowed to run no-hopers in top races. What if he brought down a well backed horse? On the flat the horse would have to have a stalls test. I would fine the trainer!Rant over, Master Minded is a real decent horse and showed his class today! Dual Champion Chaser at the age of six!

ReplyDeleteI'm guessing you pair have never sat on a horse.
ReplyDeleteHow you can defy Marodima, a donkey whose race record reads
20 runs
7 wins
5 seconds
4 thirds
Winner of a Grade two also - won three of his last five starts.
The buzz of Cheltenham, not only affects punters but horses. They are trained too peak for the moment and not machines which you can turn on or off.
The owner of Marodima paid the same entry fees as Master Minded connections.
The Result reads... raced freely, led after 1st, hit 2nd and 3rd, headed 4 out, weakened quickly, tailed off opened 150/1, beaten a distance..
ReplyDeleteNot to mention the start!
