I was probably one of those beefy but he's gladly proved me wrong. Have to remember he's still a nice age as well, getting better all the time. Tremendous round he had today.
Only 6 he is STH, I think he'll progress past Coneygree this year. Will be extremely interesting to see how the Lexus and King George go in a few weeks time! Would love to know how confident the Mullins yard are Vautour stays 3m+. They don't seem too worried any time there questioned...
I'm due to go to the Lexus as we usually make the pilgrimage up for some of the Xmas festival. Hopefully we manage to get up for Lexus day as it could be corking. The picture will be somewhat clearer In 4 weeks time possibly alright. I love the Christmas racing period
Lexus could be exceptional especially if Coneygree comes over, think it'd suit him hugely, track and going not to mention he'll not have a fight with Vautour to lead. I suspect Don Poli especially will love him there to get a tow!
I'd love Coneygree to come over. It gives the race a real edge and the crowd will be buzzing too. Be nice to see him do his thing up close. I just hope all turn up and we get a real racing spectacle to look forward too.
Think the best day I had at Leopardstown was day my namesake beat the triple champ Matey, the roar will live with me forever as Beefy jumped upsides them on the steel 2 out, travelling all over the lot of them then Carberry does his 'catch me if you can' to Culloty! Couldn't a done it to a nicer twat
Your namesake has an unbelievable record in the race doesn't he, few wins and some placings I think. The year Bob's Worth won it was probably the most deafening I heard there, the whole place was obviously on and he came home very well...maybe because I was on Sir Des Champs and was totally silent I noticed everyone else shouting him on
