Tell me the truth, If you knew what I just pointed out would you still back this horse? 10 Rush Cad Daryl Jacob 55 £3 200 £3 420 £10 Someone been very brave in offering such a price for this horse, Let’s look at who owns the horse, Owner Sir Peter & Lady Gibbings, Not just your average owners( Unless they brought the titles on E bay), More than likely Sir Peter dose not bet on the horses, So I can understand him been a big price, Look at the breeding SIRE COMMENT: high-class 1m4f horse, top-class jumps sire, progeny inc. Big Buck's and Long Run; Then you have Petrarchick James Banks 11.5 £2 25 £16 26 £5 990 £6 His Sire still commands in 2012 a Stud fee: USD 30,000, Look at the running comment of his most recent run: Chased leader to 4th, went 2nd again after next until approaching 7th, every chance when blundered 3 out, ridden and weakened before next- That was in a class 4 race, Today he races in class 5, The Comment tells you he was right there with every chance but Blunderded, If you look through his form that was a big improvement on his last few runs,and if you go back to his first run you will see his best form was at this track. When these big priced winners pop up now and then, the first thing Norbert says how how( Stutters) the the bleep did did that( out of breath at this stage) Win, Well it won because there were factors which were there, But were dismissed by you, Thats how. If push came to shove and you asked which one do you think as the strongest possibility to win I would say- Regal Park Jamie Moore 6.4 £17 6.6 £21 6.8 £3 7.4 £13 I would not be put off by first time blinkers; we know that Montjeu had his quirks which were transmitted to his off spring, Ran off high 80s on the flat, Montjeu aside, Regale Park dose have plenty of substance on the dams side, Unlike my selection he was not bred on a Pony stud, If  Just going back to BARTON STACEY: All runs to date have been on GD-GF yet to race on GS, Its interesting that all his runs were in the summer (Ground Factor?)  Most punters will cotton on to the fact that he won first time out so they should not be too concerned with 224 days layoff, in my Opinion they would be wrong to assume this, That first time win was gained over 2m on GF  in a NHF race, Not over hurdles, not over 2m4f
