@willstott70 @Moray_Smith Great point here. I like Elliot always seems pretty open with most of his horses. Tbf its generally only Mullins roulette we have to play isn't it. Most other trainers in my mind are fairly straight forward?

@Moray_Smith It’s disgusting Moray, I am astounded these trainers are not strung up, bookies get slated and abused for the smallest thing, yet trainers allow punters to back their horses for months in races they know they will not go in

Everyone wanting to bet in the Supreme or Turners at the moment is still wondering which (if any) race Mighty Park will run in. Not only do we have to wrestle with the form, we have to try to work out how much credence to give to a comment at a preview evening that he's heading to the Supreme. Who knows? A few days ago someone apparently said he'll be avoiding One Park Star. The race is just around the corner what will you know next week that you don't know now? If it's the weather, say so and let us in on your thinking. To have to rely on whispers, nods and winks is frustrating to say the least.

@Moray_Smith Anyone a Fan of National Hunt wants him over hurdles!!! He is a hurdler. This flat stuff is nonsense

The Champion Hurdle bananas continue! What do we make of Constitution Hill? I think we at least know that he will probably go off favourite if lining up but what are the chances of that? No big clues from Nicky or the owner in their post race interviews. The latter saying that "firm ground flat races over the summer may not be his thing" probably the biggest hint towards Cheltenham? I got the impression they will give him the green light. Will Betfair put up a market? I'd be 70/30 on him going to Cheltenham. What do others think?

@OTTR_Elliot Telling factor for me in the comments was the trainer was contacted by telephone to wxplain why it ran so bad. Surely be at the course to watch your stable star or one of them run? I know one of the syndicate owners on the winner so glad it ran so 'poor'

@AndrewBarc5644 @BasherWatts Wow... aside from that must have been a real honour to be involved in such a horse. I can think of only 5 multiple winners in my lifetime and they were all pretty special. Stradivarius Yeats Kayf Tara Royal Rebel Kyprios

@HeavyD312 @BasherWatts Yeah 100% mate. I exercised and led up a Royal Ascot GC x2 winner in for a big owner that didnt even give me a smile let alone a thank you when it won both Gold cups. With Basher I saw a horse who finished 3rd and he did a whip round for the stable lass. That’s PROPER ownership.

Paul Nicholls wouldn’t be human if he didn’t get a real kick out of that success It’s no harm to see someone drop the pretence and tell people exactly how they feel. Given the circumstances I think the reaction is both very understandable and the failure to hide it is commendable
