That's a blow Beefy - where's the info from? In other news, Al Ferof has moved to Dan Skelton, and Toppy has had a fiver e/w on him at 97/1 on Betfair for the Gold Cup
Old Supporter 9/1 Punchestown 4:50 - probably best known for his jockey being held up by a passer by when pulling up lto, if he can jump better today he should take a fair bit of stopping. Colm's Dream romped home that day but Old Supporter slammed that rival prior to that race and meets him on even better terms today so he rates a solid chance for Denis Cullen to double up today.
Heard that earlier, he's young so has a chance to make it back, whether he will be the same horse again only time will tell.
Question to you Irish lads - any news on Defy Logic? Are we likely to see him race again after he missed the whole of last season?
I can't find any info regarding Defy Logic Oddy and I haven't heard anything either. You could contact Paul Nolan via his website and ask them and they should respond within a few day's though if you are keen to find out https://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&sour...TUAC_8&usg=AFQjCNH_U2WMzcT5kHtSiGf9oLzukUUDEg
Shout ste Old Supporter got smashed in the betting but didn't want to know! Shield is becoming frustrating for punters, seems to get well backed each outing and falling short of expectation.
No 3 course supper or GnT, I’m afraid. When I heard this news my monocle fell out and the only thing on the menu was the hasty application of the smelling salts. To use a footballing analogy West Wizard moving from Seven Barrows to Nige Twiston-Davies is akin to dear old Theo Walcott being transferred from The Arsenal to Chippenham Town! I’m sure the ‘transfer’ came about because Mr Henderson suggested to his old pal, the 11th richest man in Wales, that perhaps a change of scenery would benefit the old boy. Upon hearing such wonderful and totally unselfish advice the 11th richest man in Wales would, I believe, have promptly slapped him on the rump (West Wizard not Hendo), and proclaimed, ‘You’re off to Twister Towers’. I’m sure the horse had mixed emotions upon hearing this. Devastation that he was leaving Seven Barrows but total relief that he wasn’t off to the Pipe’s – another yard that the 11th richest man in Wales patronises. Going to be very difficult for West Wizard from here on in though, people, because as we all know, you can’t improve upon perfection.
I haven’t been monitoring it, but have certainly noticed, the huge number of times this horse gets chalked up as a non-runner. Happened again yesterday! Connections seemingly will only run him when everything is in their favour. They may not have Swashbuckling for long though as I note he is in the Tatts ‘Horses In Training’ sale later this month.
