Cue Card out now.

Dropping like flies - the poor Tizzards. From RP - Tizzard said: "He has not been quite right behind for a week and the decision has been made this morning that he will not run at Cheltenham"

Such a desperate shame for a small yard like that.

Very sad news, but hopefully he'll be back as new next year.

Cheltenham really losing its headline performers.

.......

Cheltenham really losing its headline performers.

Will we see the up and coming and rising stars? I agree, it's a great shame when we see the old faithfuls and they're unable to compete, but It'll still be "The Festival", with luck!

Think the hurdlers and future chasers are going to be the stars this time round - nothing has particularly grabbed me on the chasing front so far.
Long Run also reported to be going straight to Aintree.

 

[Dobiegirl]

It is a great shame but as they seem to think its pulled muscles they are hoping he will be able to go to Aintree.

We always lose a few prior to Cheltenham, its a feat in itself to actually get the horses fit there and do themselves justice.. Last year Big Bucks and Al ferof were the casualities and Im sure there will be a few more to drop out this time.

 

[Mariposa]

Noooooooo!! Absolutely gutting! I hadn't heard about Cue Card.

Shame for them but right decision for horse.
