after Sprinter Sacre demolished Cue Card today can there be any doubt he is simply the best ? The way he wins hard held is astonishing and I think he will stay even further than today`s trip, he is as low as 4-1 for the King George ffs

Unbelievable !!!

They're calling him National Hunt racing's equivalent to Frankel, and
praise doesn't come much higher than that.

Going by what Nicky Henderson said after the race, it doesn't seem
likely that they'll try him at three miles, which I think is a pity. He
got two and a half miles so comfortably that I think there's every
chance that he would get three.

Yes, it's always satisfying to see good horses win impressively.

Barry Geraghty said after the race that he felt the horse didn't want
any greater distance than the 2½ miles. So I doubt the King George
will be among his agenda.
