I wonder if we will see Douvan as good again. The same could apply to Thistlecrack who has questions to answer assuming he lines up for the King George. How many of those in the ante post betting list for the king george won't turn up?
DId anyone see Sunshade bringing up the old hat-trick for Mr Henderson and HM Queen God bless them? Might the filly be going places?
Didn't see the race but would appear Jenny's Surprise ran her usual honest race. My selection didn't make the start line so money back. I have just seen Jack Kennedy's recovery on Robin Des Mana and subsequent win over at Clonmel. Crikey, a shortlist of one for ride of the month me thinks
Just came out of the bookies, told me they took a lot of money for Mercury 9.00 Chelmsford. Here’s hoping
A quick question for you. Why didn't you run Jenny's surprise at sandown? It seems, she enjoys herself round there with great success .
Yes, I noticed that stick. Do you reckon that accounted for 12l stick? Worth another chance maybe? Really fancied that for a place but it did drift out to 25/1
Fergal ruled out the Saturday race as he thought it looked too competitive for a horse on the comeback trail so it was a toss up between Wincanton and Sandown on Friday. Fergal wanted to go to Sandown but I think Paddy convinced him she would win the race at Wincanton. The ground should have been softer at Wincanton and they are fixated that she wants bottomless ground (I dont agree). She didnt jump out of that ground today and lost more lengths at the fences than she got beat in the end. She jumped beautifully at Uttoxeter! By the way, can you PM me your mobile please. Have you bought Sandown tickets yet?
I will we are going on a paddy power jolly so I don't know all the details yet my brother organised it.
Thats cool, I have tickets already and have been offered some owners passes so thought they might be of use. Send me your number anyway as I want to sort something else out!
