Think Ruby said today he is 'leaning' towards Min but could the ground could be a deciding factor.Lads who would you side with between VVM and Limini in their respective races.I wasn't really impressed with Liminis jumping but the opposition looks piss poor,although I read Brian Ellison was particularly bullish about Smart Talk in yesterday's Racing Post.I think Polly Peachum will give VVG a decent race in the Mares Hurdle.
Regarding the Min drift and the Yorkhill move, the exact same thing happened Vautour and Wicklow Brave in the same race a couple of seasons ago.... Do think Yorkhill has a chance of giving him a real race. Regular readers of Beefys jumpers to follow will no doubt recall this lad as being second on the list behind none other than the mighty mare Limini!
Question lads, Taquin is going to run in the plate over the Ryanair C&D off 157. If he wins surely it takes a 160+ performance which would probabaly win this years Ryanair anyway? Its a piss poor renewal of it and he shows no ill effects from his injury. I know hes not in but possible supplement?
I heard them mention handicaps tward when he won but as we all know plans are very fluid all around aren't they...And the fact it's Jonjo brings another chance of that too
Mins form got shot to pieces at the weekend as well, looks like he has been beating G3 horses but same goes for the rest to be honest. I'll be taking him on with one of my bets of the meeting but wont be surprised if he turns out to be a class above, at least at this stage, I think im on the best horse in the race long term. Yorkhill should be running in the Neptune, got him for that at 16s single and a double with Limini 7/1, my only two mullins bets, I think if he runs in the Supreme that has to be a negative for Min, Mullins always goes for the easiest winning chance, he must think Yorkhill has a better chance of beating Min than Yanworth.
It appears i was bang on about this and he has now been supplemented to the Ryanair. My dough is on the Plate though NRNB.
Just seen that two of my 5 ante post accumulators that included Faugheen are still on. The rest i've lost my money on. I think it will be reduced to one soon though as one of them includes Annie Power for Mares not CH. I'm not sure what happens with that, whether i lose the whole acca or its another void runner
Think it might be dead! Leaves me with one but it's one I don't even remember putting on coz I've got bloody Don Poli in it and I don't fancy that at all, must have been pissed!
And on it goes... Someone's told me YORKHILL is now going Neptune due to comments at a preview night IF this is true I'd be over the fecking moon! Been saying all season that's where he should go... Would probably be some vote of confidence in MIN too, showing they'd rather take on the certainty Yanworth. What a clash that would be, makes the Neptune a seriously good race. If it does happen....
Been told by a good source that the Mullins staff tip is McKinley in he handicapp chase on Tuesday.Granted Mullins has a poor record in handicapp chases at the festivel I done a small Ew wager at 16s
Yorkhill drifted like the proverbial barge on Betfair. Having been backed into 5.9, he sits at over 11.0 and the money waiting for him on the other side is in the 20s. He's heading to the Neptune it seems.
Pipe stated that he'd run out of time. Had a few quid on Douvan/Vroom/Nicholls (also with Old Guard instead).
If you get LIMINI beat you really are the jinx of jinxes. Hard luck with ALTIOR too then, I know you haven't stated this openly but you're pretty predictable with your Hendo's here in the past...It's pretty obvious that's your 'class' bet
You not worried about the Min form beefy, joking aside? Attribution and Gurteen both outclassed in a listed novice won by unfancied outsider. Double Island beat the same distance by Haymount, Inch Rise beat off 116 and beat in two maidens since. Doesnt look like Ball Darc has beaten much in his two wins either.
Gurteen was injured the last day. Min beat them senseless, let's be honest. 9l could a been 99l. MIN's been different class, I think we'll see that on the day. Bar the Hendo pair, who I don't rate, it's 20/1 the English here. No escaping the fact that says everything about where the books think the best novices are.
