Would love to see Pendleton win the Foxhunters. It won't happen but I'd love to see it

think wed rather know what your mrs is backing tomorrow
She has gone Don Poli in the Gold Cup
Not sure about the rest mate - think she had a good treble today with Vatour , Thistlecrack ( will be our bet for the King George and next years Gold Cup ) and Limini.
Arguably but as a sporting achievement it'll be something special

I thought that as well but McCoy on 5live was praising her and the good press and attention she has brought to the sport over the year
A few rumblings that she hasn't earned the rides properly
A good result all round would be her getting round safely and possibly picking up a place
Like it or not she's done loads in the last twelve months to raise the NH profile

vautour wins next years gold cup
Possibility of being a peach of a race - did you see how easy it was for Thistlecrack to accelerate ? He is stocky but very powerful.

really? what being sat on one of if not the best horse and given a chances others could only dream of
theres more than a few rumblings within the horse racing world, talk to any of the wannabe jockeys who have been riding out for years at 5am, mucking out etc working to get the odd ride here and there earning pennies and then someone gets paid an extortionate amount of money to fulfill their dream, riding at the cheltenham festival, despite clearly not being good enough all because they were good on a bike
has she? plenty think its all been an expensive embarassment for the sport

It's an impressive performance
I see it both ways and can see how the apprentices have the arse ache big time and totally get that. However for the column inches and TV coverage, especially in the last few weeks, like it or not she's raised the profile of NH racing. I kind of hope a) she and the horse get round safely and b) she calls it a day and doesn't pursue it any further

The reaction within the sport is very much mixed - a lot not too pleased and believe it to be a gimmick but certainly spoken to a few when at races with the wife that it has had a positive effect on the sport.

only heard the negative, not heard one person from the yards etc positive about her. I wish her luck because shes braver than I am to ride in that sort of race with her lack of experience, I also think she will need a lot more than luck tomorrow!
I can see why there would be mutterings and dissent in the yards. Bit like anyone coming in and taking a ride/position away from someone that has worked so hard for the chance.

Well done all those on the mullins horses/ thistlecrack yesterday. Today's all about Cue Card for me. Owes me absolutely nothing due to past festival successes and his dominance this season.
With regards the VP scenario. I hope to God she gets herself and more importantly imo PDP round safe as those who aren't into racing (and opposed this PR stint) will feast upon it.
