Yikes! Henderson's one ran another shocker. Don't the Gleneagles partnership know Willie Mullins is only a stones throw away...
Top Notch nearly won the fighting fifth, so I'd hardly say beating him makes you a handicapper. Peace and Co is a class act on his day, and if they set a proper gallop he'll be a threat in G1 races. He threw the race away by pulling to hard today
Group 2/3 horse at best. Identity Thief won cosy enough had he not smashed the last hurdle he would have won 6 lengths. The fighting fifth is a terrible race, your no actually taking that serious are ya!
It was still a G1 race. Both Peace and Co and Top Notch are still very young, they are only 4 after all, so they are both horses with lots of potential. To write them off now because one couldn't beat older horses in the fighting fifth is silly. Wether this year will be a successful year for them who knows, but I'd be fairly confident that Peace and Co especially will win plenty more G1 races in his career
Old Guard a champion hurdle contender lads? I doubt it, solid horse, great attitude as well. Hargam ran what I view as his best ever race too today, dispels the notion he needs better ground.
I'm not writing them off at all. Good horses. Just not top of the class. Peace and Co will make a nice 3 mile hurdler In 2 year if he doesn't go jumping fences. Shame he's not with a more enthusiastic trainer at the moment. Nicky has his feet up and guzzling the gin non stop now he's reaching retirement.
Credit to Old Guard but to be truthful, only More Of That looked anything like a festival horse over the two days for me. Not a spectacular meeting. Peace & Co certainly pulled too hard and of course thats had an effect, so we have to see if he proves himself next time out. Mullins holds the aces right now though and that's a fact.
One of my favourite trainers Beefy,I back his English raiders religiously which has been good to my wallet!
Man utd have been distinctly average this season though they have been impressive in defence.I think they have a few goals in them today and taking them to beat Bourmouth -1 7/2
Jonjo O'Neil "we could even go for the Gold Cup- I wouldn't be afraid to put him in there but il have to speak to the boys" 14/1 for Gold Cup More Of That
Shrewd operator Ste. Remember backing one against his at Downpatrick over the summer, money poured onto his before the off, I knew my fate! Was the very definition of an armchair ride for Paul Townend..l
Had a couple of decent bets on Weapons Amnesty for Byrne's at Chelts,definition of a course specialist!Always thought he was a gold cup horse in the making but wasnt to be. Beefy are you going to watch the McGregor fight?Might set the alarm and get up to watch it,think its going to start about five?If anyone knows any decent streams please let us know.Im going to try first row/haha sport.
Shame injury ruined Weapons Amensty career, he was special. Nah, never watched UFC in my life Ste, seems your man has half of Dublin over with him!
