class from Fehily in the first on a horse who isnt exactly straightforward, got him into a lovely rhythm and took it up at the right time, runner up a non stayer, think Twiston Davies horses might be in better form than they were at Cheltenham and as much as I like Buveur Dair, The New One deserves his day in the sun today Conti looks a good bet at 10/1 in the Bowl, this is his swansong
Glen Valley in the novice stakes at Southwell. Early foal, bred to be decent early and should stay well. That might be the key today.
astounded you didnt collect on Flying Tiger e/w bob, looked like the e/w bet of all time at the prices this morning for those inclined to bet e/w extra sickening that the same stable just win the big race of the day
Good isn't it? The fact they get racing really early is causing them to come home slowly. Flying Angel finished well in the novice and that last race they went far too early.
Very well done to Lizzie Kelly on winning her second Grade 1 on Tea For Two! Cue Card has been a grand servant to connections, but maybe now's the time to retire him.
Gerraghty said it was dead, watered, closer to gd to soft than good Music to the ears of Buveur backers
Great race by CC but beaten by a better horse on the day. Looked to be getting back up but post came too fast. A stinker by Empire of Dirt I'm on Old Guard wo the fav next
Didn't sound like they have any intention of retiring him L_M. Putting him away for the season and will aim him at Haydock next season.
yeah i just heard he was pulled up ..... but didnt seem to be right from mthe off. Hopefully nothing too serious
usually the first day of aintree is a guaranteed 10 pager on here, looks like the jumps has not delivered this season, Mullins drugs and Cue Cards head carriage there epitomising the general widespread disgust with jump racing at the minute, only The New One can possibly pull it out the fire and bring back the feel good factor a couple of nice horses running at Chelmsford tonight, quite surprised actually at the quality turning up at this track Mustarrid and Fibonacci Fibonacci ran absolutely clueless in one of the hotter Newmarket maidens last season, his dam is a half sister to Champion 2yo Fasliyev and the mare Butterfly Cove who produced Misty For Me, Twirl and Ballydoyle, gave the impression that he would be a different horse this year and id be astounded if he didnt turn out better than the Godolphin favourite
