totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase Grade 1 3m2f110y

Got a kick out of this in an email today from Racing Post.
This race distance got me chuckling.
I wonder if anyone has been waiting for one of the horses to stretch out from 3m2f70y?:D

"That added 40y should help her out," replied the trainer."She never gets rolling before 3m2f."

On the flip side:

"She was game, but she just couldn't get that last 40 yards....."

"She's a real good 3 and 1/4 miler, but the added distance today really was her undoing....."

I told him to make his move after 3 miles, and she took the lead 40 yards out, but just could not hold onto it....."
