Typical comment from someone who obviously doesnt follow bumpers, all to easy to simply look to Mullins.
It may have won by 18 lengths but it could have been a furlong.
I repeat, one of the most impressive bumper debuts I have ever seen.
I will have a tenner each way at that price please.......let me know where to send the twenty quid!

As Galaxy rightly points out Cue Card won a Fontwell bumper on his debut and not as impressively as this fella yesterday!
 
Boris might not know his bumpers but i do and it's all to easy to fall into a trap of over valuing a performance. Let's see what the form amounts to before we talk in the superlatives that have been thrown around. I'm happy to be proven wrong as most of the time everyone is in racing. However, there's no reason to think yesterday's race at Plumpton was anything special as of yet. I'd want to see him against a Newbury bumper winner or in one himself. Also, how many runners has Pipe had in the Champion bumper over his career? I can't think of many of the top of my head.
 
If you read my earlier comment bob you will see that I made the point quite clearly about the Festival bumper not being a race he targets.
It's easy to overvalue form and it's also easy to undervalue it too. As in the Case of Cue card, how many people honestly believed that his performance at Fontwell on his debut was Festival Bumper standard. Only one poster on here trumpeted his cause and I dont think even he thought he would be Cheltenham bound.

I stand by my comments earlier. It was one of the most impressive debut performances I have ever seen in a bumper. I think it only right to point that out to the many people on here who may easily not have given a second glance to Plumpton bumper on a Monday.

It will be no surprise to me if his next run isnt in a novice hurdle at Chepstow. It will be equally of no surprise to me if he didnt show up at Cheltenham in March a pretty short priced favourite for one race or other.

Regardless I now have a tenner each way at 50,000,000-1 for the Festival Bumper. Hope I get a run for my money!
 
I'll have 1P ew at 50,000,000/1 please.

Correction odds are 5,000,000/1

Oh **** - if this horse now goes on to win it'll be the funniest thing since some one called Moscow Flyer said he'd swim the channel if Katchit won the champion hurdle - or some tit saying he'd get a tattoo of Nicky henderson on his arse if Binocular won the 2010 renewal <whistle>
