Getting in early tonight on the ones I like tomorrow! Southwell 1.30 Dubia Hills 9/4 NAP 2.00 Even Stevens 9/2 2.30 Fast on 13/2 Uttoxeter 1.50 Di Caprio 13/2 Put them in a lucky 15 and a single on the NAP. Best of luck all
Same nap I am afraid Bucks Dubai Hills looks a great bet, course form is quality, and I got lucky to get on at 11/4 early doors. I am also with good old Pete The Feat tomorrow at Fontwell. Improve his jumping and he hacks up.
http://danshorseracingblog.wordpres...val-ante-post-second-guessing-willie-mullins/ Cracking article lads- get yout teeth into that if you wanna get the ins antepost debate started. Very logical guy
I'll bet my life Faugheen is the Irish gamble in the novice races. He is a super duper star in the making.
Moyle Park will be by far the horse I have the most money on antepost. Think he is a machine and I've been backing him weekly for the Supreme and will continue doing so until March. I chucked up my reasoning on the Supreme Thread about a month ago.
He does look like a beast alright. I think Moyle Park will decide where he goes. I think Willie's logic is that Faugheen has the pace/stamina for probably all 3 Novice events (definitely the Supreme and Neptune) and if Moyle Park can show he has the pace at the minimum trip at the top level then Faugheen will go the Neptune route. If not, then I think they'll swap from what you would assume is their intended targets. Personally, I think the obvious (Moyle Park going Supreme, Faugheen going Neptune and Briar Hill going AB) is the most likely at the moment. Moyle Park has already shown his tremendous battling abilities and desire to win in the Punchestown Bumper after pulling so hard and Champagne Fever showed last year how invaluable that can be for a horse with a fair bit of stamina in their pedigree.
Has a trainer ever won the three novice hurdles and the juvenile hurdle in the same season at Cheltenham?
I very much doubt it - the Albert Bartlett has only existed for about 6 or 7 years. Will check it out quickly though
Nah, no one has ever won all 3 novice hurdles. The last trainer to win the Supreme and Neptune in the same year was ......................... Willie? No Mr Henderson? No Paul Nicholls? No Howard ****ing Johnson in 2005 - Arcalis won the Supreme and No Refuge the Neptune. Both owned by the Wylies .........................
Interesting NFL game tonight. Dallas Cowboys away to the Chicago Bears. Chicago's qb is out injured. They have another couple of fairly important players out as well and have a terrible rush defence. Dallas are playing with a fair amount of heart at the mo and have one of the best qb's in the league in Tony Romo running their offence. They ran it a fair amount last week with moderate success and I'd imagine they will look to capitalise on the defensive frailty. Dallas are not usually great against Chicago so my bet is tempered but they look value tonight at 11/10 to win. Bet: Dallas to win at 11/10. I'd take any price above evens though.
The quote for Dubai Hills - “He is very well in himself and I couldn't be more pleased with him. I couldn't tell you what it is about it but he just seems to like the track.”
2.30 Southwell. HUSSAR BALLARD 4-1. HUGE BIG BIG WIN BET. Won last time out at Southwell with plenty to spare. Been told this wins again. Also entered for races at Southwell on Friday and Saturday which sort of gives the game away really. Hopefully the likes of stick have blocked me so won't get to hear about this one tomorrow
Im putting my gumshield in an going against the champ could be a detrimental move but a big reverse line move with Chicago moving from +1.5 to -1.5 despite 68% of the money on Dallas leads me to having a nibble on Chi at -1.5 at 10/11. Token bet on Alshon Jeffrey first TD, Dallas' shutdown corner will be on Marshall so hoping Jeff can get in there keeping this in mind.
Best of luck Truth. There's been Movement on the line, I think, for a few reasons. Chicago weather after Philadelphia yesterday. Chicago's record is fairly good against Dallas. Romo's ability to go through the air in adverse conditions. I think there's a fair chance either side could win but liked the odds against for Dallas when Chicago's leader isn't playing.
Welcome to the Moyles Park party Oddy I haven't topped up since my original bet at 20's - I may well do so, especially as there is the free bet option with Victor (which will no doubt end up as a loser!) It's an interesting read alright and he talks a lot of sense; I've bookmarked it to return to later! I'm keeping an eye on what plans Mullins has for Twinlight, who I think is a live contender for the RSA, he will almost certainly be out again before Cheltenham and if he wins as emphatically yet again, he may force the trainer's hand
I have to say, I am yet to see many novices in the UK that I would be interested in antepost. Hinterland edging Grandouet in a Sandown grade 1 doesn't answer the Arkle question for me. I dont think there has been a more impressive chaser than Felix Yonger for that event, but the Champagne Fever trip debate means you would have to back Felix for both Arkle and Jewson to be safe. The Supreme novice feels threadbare to me at the moment and the Irish have the edge so far. Any likely upcoming novices to be unleashed?
