Form of the VDJ 2017

Might be early days but the form of the 2017 VDJ doesn't seem to be holding up.

Makes u wonder after this weekend :dry:

Considering only one horse this millennium has done the VDJ and Champions double , I'd say it never holds up this early to the race

Very few horses that are trained to peak on July day ( which is already near the end of a long season) produce their best on Gold Cup day. There are, of course notable exceptions, and the performance of the Gold Cup winner is an example.

Regarding the July itself, Marinaresco and Krambambuli were below par; Nightingale and Bela Bela slightly below par. The well weighted July runners like Black Arthur were never going to feature in the Champions Cup when at least 4 kg out at the weights.

Guys take this advise none of the first two horses will again finish ahead of Edict of Nantes again use it or dont

Surely EON must be destined for an overseas campaign.
