Not a massive price or tip at 9/4 but I think Franchoek is unbeatable in the Triumph Hurdle on Friday.

U cudnt pick your ass by the sounds of it. Leave the professionals to the betting and u just concentrate on watching them flashing lights. Cmon Harchi lad!!!!

I expect Osana to set a strong pace, setting up both Sizing Europe and Harchibald to come through if they are both up with the leader. Sizing Europe to outrun Harchibald up the hill and win by about 5 lengths. Harchibald does have a tendency to idle sometimes, imho.

Joker by name joker by nature.

Joker, how about your reasoning for being so confident about a nine year old who has never won at the festival and finds little under pressure ? I am intrigued why you would bet this and lay a potential champion like Franchoek who ran away from a good field lto.

rook1984 · Post by **rook1984** » Sun Mar 09, 2008 7:30 pm

Im not so sure of Franchoek. Its a qood field and hes been beaten before.I just think 9/4 is to short. It might bolt up and be a champion, but id rather be a layer than a player. at that price. Not long to find out anyway
