I'm really not understanding why Ruby, and the pundits/bookmakers/and above experts on here are favouring Back In Focus over Boston Bob???

Back in Focus needed all 4 miles at Cheltenham to get the better of Tofino Bay. Boston Bob had a better field beaten when it came down at the last in the RSA. It will only be its 4th run of the season and be fresher. Also, I think it's simply the better horse.

That is true Terrence. It certainly wasn't beat when it came down though.

Because sometimes some of us just blindly follow the Mullins / Walsh combo and there's not much more to it!! And sometimes some of us miss the combo ala Briar Hill at 25/1 in champion bumper and go "good gosh I'll not be letting that happen again!"

Backed Sizin Machine in the big h'cap win only, was sick to see Il Fenomino get his head in front as backed this one in the county hurdle last month. So that's him and GODSMEJUDGE in the last few days that were losers for me at chelters and have since sluiced up without the burden of my shillings on their backs
