So hes done it again. The British handicapper is on something surely, either that or he thinks the Irish handicapper is a complete tool! macmanus takes out 3 leading chances due to the hcp mark of the British assessor compared to the Irish hcapper but choooses to accept rating s on others! Either they are all wrong or all right! You cant pick and choose surely!
Irish handicapper rates Ivan Gorbatchov 137 (based on 2 seasons running and lack of wins), The British hcapper says "oh no, im rating it 145"...based on what exactly? Yet chooses to leave the other Irish horses in the race on the same mark as the Irish hcaper!!! But then again this buffoon rates Cyrname as the best jumps horse in Europe and Altir is inferior to it! Ie Cyrname has won 6 out of 16 (none championship races) and Altior 18 out of 20 (defeats in bumpers) and unbeaten in 3 years including Championship races!
But no doubt Nicholls will sneak some french horse into a race and the hcapper will bend over as required! (cant mention Chelt without mentioning the fat Oaf!)
On a serious note though, O leary has spoken out, now JP...the two biggest owners in the world of jump racing...how long til a boycott? The BHA have found yet another opportunity to shoot themselves in the foot as per usual! racing is becoming a laughing stock....Roulette machines running racing, ARC screwing every trainer and owner and the drunk hcapper in a world of his own!
