Looks like Gorgeous George will miss the QEII on Saturday. Anyone else disappointed?

Update:

George Washington is (or maybe was) a top class racehorse. The QEII is the big race this weekend at Ascot. Read the article and you'll understand the question!

    Yes any racing fan would be disappointed ... however it should take away some uncertainty in the betting. . George Washington can be either bloody brilliant or bloody stubborn!

    But yes betting aside his absence does somewhat detract from the race.

    How can I say this without licking my lips? Yes I am sorry he may miss the race as it would make it a really good race,,,,,but,,,, having already backed Darjena to beat Gorgeous George, I was concerned to read yesterday that Soumillion was afraid of him in the race and was concerned as to if he could beat him again..so..inside I am JUMPING FOR JOY...my bet seems safer with no deductions for withdrawal.!!!

    bring it on ! no im not disapointed at all though i truly respect george washington i wasnt backing him for this and great news that betfred are refunding all anti post now it certainly isnt a two horse race as the betting seems to suggest but you cant help for believing that this is going to be a great contest between darjina and ramonti whilst LOAN SHARK strongly fancies darjina ive got a real soft spot for frankies ride my only hope is that he doesnt push him to hard and to early bring it on.

    Yes, I am because its absence reduces the prices of the others
