4-6 on ATR but surely that wont be available. He is for me one of the most exciting novices to follow this season. Another will be out at the weekend, GONE TOO FAR.
Quiz question: With Waxies Dargle and Pairofbrowneyes running today, and Streams of Whisky running on Saturday - who cal tell me what connects all three? And not something obvious, like they are all brown! Edit: Oops - Pairofbrowneyes ran on Sunday, but same question
Morning, crew. Hope everyone on board is well. Nothing for me today but I see that Mr Henderson is ‘at it’ again re Lieutenant Miller and a ‘Pertemps Qualifier’. The forum’s favourite trainer has got him entered in another one, this time at Kempers Park on Monday. However, I see the old boy is perched 35 lbs below Grands Cru so if that one takes up his engagement in the same contest the Lieutenant will be quite a bit out of the old handicap. Still that may not be a bad thing as he’d need a substantial handicap increase (currently only 120) to make the Final of the series at the Festival. Talking of Mr Henderson I see he’s got a new tome out. It’s titled ‘Henderson's Heroes: The Story of an Unbelievable Season’. Order your copy now, people. Reebs, 2 of them are songs. Is that it?!? Good luck, all.
going to have a little tickle on Russe Blanc in the 1 40 C--had a taste of the track last year--could spring a suprise..
Afternoon everyone, Didn't get to see any racing yesterday so wanted to know what Taquin Du Seiul was like over fences? Today i like the look of Toe The Line in the last race at Punchestown.
I added a brief article on the Arkle thread here. Won without breaking sweat, jumping I would describe as safe and economic, rather than flamboyant or spectacular, but a very pleasing debut.
I couldn't be taking 2/7 about the Liquidator here - the horses that have come out of the festival bumper haven't exactly advertised the form (Purple Bay, Regal Encore, Pure Science) and although he won at Punchestown thereafter they did finish in a bit of a heap - the first 6 covered by 9 lengths, and only Blackmail having done anything for the form. AP's horse looks a knocking e/w to nothing
I'm very much looking forward to the chasing debut of 2.35 Punchestown Way Up In The Air 6/1. An absolutely massive mare standing 17'2, I feel the old adage of whatever she did over hurdles is a bonus definitely applies here and I think she could prove to be a very, very good chaser. A very strong travelling sort and a lovely jumper, Way Up In The Air showed some good form over the smaller obstacles but I think Robert Tyner's 6 year old has a big future in front of her now going chasing. In a decent looking Beginners Chase, Way Up In The Air has a first time hood applied and I'm confident of a massive showing today which can hopefully see her score at the first time of asking on what will hopefully be a very successful chasing career.
Weak finish by the rider on Spookydooky Racing Post says head in chest for The Liquidator - must watch the replay tonight, sounds impressive
