Quite right, Nass, for myself, haven't been yakking in bookies & pubs for some time now. Thank God for Micardis!
Well that was easy enough; Enda Bolger, Nina Carberry, JP, well backed fav. I didn't back it, obviously.
Diplomat @ 20/1 4.55 Punch. The stable of D.K. Weld is in cracking form on the flat, he doesn't have many runners over the sticks but does like to lay one out for these Irish festivals! Diplomat is down 2lbs for his last run over hurdles in the Schweppes on unsuitable soft going, he was given a spin on the flat at the beginning of the month over 10f on heavy going, led till headed 1f out. He will relish today's conditions and looks like an excellent E/W bet @ 20/1 first 4 places paid. Good Luck!
BADA BING i know it was 4/5 and some of you don't like that whiz but the bet I've just landed deserves a celebration. I think he may be the most gifted NH horse i've seen.
Just a coffee break in the end! Your Faugheen is a real talent, quite spectacular. Hoped Real Steel would get a place but no luck. Are you going to Punchestown this week?
What. A. Horse. Champion Hurdle, Arkle, take your pick. He'll obliterate anything that stands in his way. Punchestown Festival bank loaded. 4/5 gift.
Haven't got to watch it yet but Faugheen does sound mightily impressive. This is from 4 out on the text commentary. 4 out Valseur Lido lies second Western Boy third Real Steel making headway they're packing up Faugheen continues to dictate Valseur Lido lies second Western Boy third Valseur Lido driven along 2 out wide open Wicklow Brave has fallen Faugheen pressing on Faugheen has shot clear Western Boy lies second Valseur Lido third Faugheen destroying them final fence Faugheen sails over the rest playing for places Faugheen in a different league Valseur Lido lies second Sgt Reckless third Faugheen absolutely trounces them, he's a super star Wicklow Brave glady on his feet, appears fine PUNCHESTOWN 4:20 1st (1) Faugheen 1/2 2nd (6) Valseur Lido 3rd (4) Sgt Reckless
