Petit Robin was Twist Magics only competition on Saturday but even he was riding on the disastrous side of things despite having AP McCoy riding him. Three massive blunders over the fences, one after the other, and there was nothing else he could do but fade in Twist Magics shadow.

Overall this is how I see it – only seven competed, Kinkeel wouldn’t have won it if he was the only horse running, that leaves six. Lennon tried to get ahead in the early stages but quickly lost stamina and Well Chief, who really should have up there competing hard was nowhere to be seen. As mentioned earlier, Petit Robin was having a bad jumping day with Cornas appearing to make up the numbers and Oh Crick tried to give chase on the run-in but left it too late which , almost by default, gives the win to Twist Magic.

I’m not taking away from the fact that Twist Magic is a fabulous horse with enormous potential and Ruby Walsh is the best jockey around but I think the bookies are getting ahead of themselves by making him second favourite for the Queen Mother Chase and with odds as low as 5/1 with Paddy Power I think I’ll be putting my each way bet somewhere else!

It was originally known as the National Hunt Two-Mile Champion Chase but was given a name change in 1980 in recognition of the support given to jump racing by the Queen Mother on the year of her 80th birthday.

With a prize fund in 2010 of £320,000 this is a potentially huge money earner for the successful trainer and owner team who get past the winning post first and this year’s favourite with the bookies is Master Minded, the French 7 year old who is trained by Paul Nicholls. He is going for his third in a row and unless there’s a major upset on the day he just might get it!
