Tough Oddy, still critical, tried to bring him out of the induced coma but he has a bad chest infection now so was very agitated, so but him back to sleep untill tuesday and pumping him full of antibiotics he is in the right place and getting looked after very well, Time will be the healer CHEERS MATE
Fighting Fifth, what a joke of a race. If i was Stanjames would i want to sponsor another one? NO 4 runners. Pathetic stuff for a G1 race
**** me just got around to seeing Gores Island and he was a monstrous eye catcher. Made sublime progress on the bridle from the back of the field to sit 2nd before clouting 3 out which absolutely ruined his chance!
To True Gal,, Bet The course are not impressed, used to be a big spectacle up here but its very poor turn out
Holy **** that was impressive! Knew Cinders wasn't going to win but Trifolium looks a shade of himself from last yeara
Great ride by Dennis but it was a poor race in my opinion, both horses stalked each other, think JM should have done better, well done Country Wide backers
great performance there but Cinders maybe needed the run and also the ground means you can almost put a line through it. I wouldn't touch 8/1 for the Champion Hurdle, will be a totally different race. I'd love a bit of 25s from 10 minutes ago though!!
Right ROTO, gone against The Joxer here as you persuaded me how good Miss Mangan is, so ive backed Beef to the Heels
Agree it was a poor ride from Maguire Dan, mind you it wouldn't have made much difference. Tell you what ****ing annoys me about horse racing though - I lumped on Grumeti in the Triumph and Countrywide FLame wins. So then I'm at Aintree and lump on Countrywide Flame and ****ing Grumeti goes and wins. So I back C&A today and ****ing Countrywide Flame wins. All I can say is
Really fancy Princely Player here BUT it's Saturday and Nicholls/Walsh are banging the winners in so am severely tempted to jump ship for Salubrious
Sorry but how was that a poor Maguire ride ??- he stalked the leaders had every chance going to the last but couldnt quicken due to soft ground and the Flame's big fitness edge. Quinn's horse still one of the most underrated hurdlers but Champion hurdle may be a year too soon as its a very tough race for five year olds. DOR shows he is as good as any around when on the right horse.
Spent so long deliberating I missed the off Just got Princely Player in the Lucky 31 on the comp picks then
Well that was a good way to start. Cannot believe he was priced up at 5/1 earlier this week. Just need Magnanimity to complete a nice double.
