Great ride Mark Grant...very underrated jockey...thats 4 winners in the last fortnight.I remember him riding in Ireland a few years ago,his brother Danny rides on the flat there.

Wonder will he get a few days for that slap down the horses neck at the last
 
That has to go down as one of the most impressive bumper debuts ever! What price for the Festival and how come the yard didn't punt it to odds on? McCoy never moved.
 
One for you boys on wednesday as i may not be about Ivan Boru, very well thought of at Reveleys, its in the bumper at catt but may not get in as 40 entered already
 
Evening ROTO

4.20 Kemp - ZAHEEB @ 7/1(maybe bigger)

2lb lower than last win over C&D

5.50 Kemp - LASTKINGOFSCOTLAND @ 6/1

6lb lower than last win over C&D. I expect this will start a fair bit shorter.


Good luck all!

Two heads short of a blinding day. Cannot believe Lastkingofscotland nearly went off at 10/1 on BF and 5/2 was readily available on the place market. Not bad for a horse i had down as a 4/1 shot. I agree Stick, super performance by Kings Palace at Plumpton, to come away like that on the bridle up that hill takes some doing. Looks a future star in the making.
 
My good EW shout did as all good EW shouts, finishing 4th in a 3 place market. Always another day, notebook filling up with more AW platers.
 
Is there no end to your research Gal, I thought I was a freak but you....................
Torn now as I really want to take some of that price but I hate ante post non runners!
 
champion bumper <rofl>

ill give you 5 million/1

beat widden pallets 18 lengths on a monday at plumpton <laugh> champion bumper <laugh>

freakishly poor animals making an average animal look special

mullins will have one win a decent bumper by 18 lengths at a decent meeting, and it might not be his best <ok>

kings palace <laugh>

Strikes me more as a Neptune horse tbh, it'll be interesting to see how he gets on over hurdles.

You got in there before I could! What a load of utter rubbish. A Plumpton bumper on a Monday for David Pipe! A recipe for Champion Bumper winners i think not.

What like CUE CARD winning by 6 lengths on a wet Wednesday at Fontwell<ok><laugh>
 
What's your point? I'm sure you aren't insinuating that racing on a Monday is as good as racing on a Wednesday.

Having been a regular at both tracks on a Monday & Wednesday, i can assure you there is very little difference in terms of quality.

Let me rephrase your own view

"You got in there before I could! What a load of utter rubbish. A Fontwell bumper on a Wednesday for Colin Tizzard! A recipe for Champion Bumper winners i think not."

Judge the horse, not the race or day it runs on

Absolutely. On the issue of Kings palace i don't think i could back a Pipe horse for the Champion Bumper as i'm still sulking over the non appearance of Gevery Chambertin last year!
