did it easy enough on Friday. perhaps not as impressive as his other wins this year, but he got the job done, jumped well and comfortably held exotic and turpin (who my bet at 10-1 to be placed on Betfair wasn't matched!!!).Onward and upwards I hope. I suppose if there is a bad omen, it is that the last three Gold Cup winners before KS (Best Mate, Kicking King and War of Attrition) never even made it back to try to defend their crown.. Let's hope he gets there next year in one piece, in the same form and ready for a mouthwatering race with him, Denman, Star de Mohaison and Neptune Collonges. Nicholls 1-2-3-4...
