I say that’s a lovely name for a filly. Deserves to win for that moniker alone. Good luck. Not backing it but my eye in that heat was drawn to Big Fiddle. At the huge odds of 80/1. I know the family very well as it’s an old, old Hendo one. Big Fiddle’s dam was Fiddling Again (a dual winner winner for the Lieutenant) and his grand-dam is none other than the legendary Fiddling The Facts. As well as both these mares the great man also trained many of their respective offspring as well. Big Fiddle was only 10th first time up though and is barned with Dickie Phillips rather than the forum’s favourite trainer.
Thats an interesting sort Barney. The owner still owns the mare and breeds from her. They won a bumper with its half sister too so could be over priced. The one negative is that this mare had wind surgery before it ever saw a racecourse. No forlorn hope though! Good spot.
Gee Whiz, I only just joined this forum, I didn't realise it was a pissing up the wall contest where Kings walked with Serfs. With unraced Bumper horses you can only go by the trainer and the betting to look for clues. Anyway, please yourselves. I gave my reasoning based on the form and someone comes out calling it a no bet race. I have a right to take issue with something based on no more than a tenuous fear of the Skeltons and an ex-French horse. That Skelton horse was 8/1 last night and can now be backed at 40/1. It doesn't look like the bookies are wetting their panties. Sorry for only being an Active Member. Maybe I'll piss off and leave it to the clique to run the board.
Bumpers aren’t just about trainers and betting, in the same way the race I put up wasn’t just about flat form translating. Not sure why you were so defensive when someone gave their opinion, it is a forum for that sort of thing.
No clique, you were just ****ing rude and there was no need for it. I merely expressed an opinion. As I said earlier, good luck with your selection.
You won't win on here Grendel, I have been watching this forum for years and if you dare to criticize or call out the 'Dear Leader' you will swiftly be denounced by all his devoted subjects. However, I have noted several occasions where someone has questioned one of his selections and you would think they had personally insulted a member of his family! Remember if you want to fit in on here you have to massage his inflated ego every time he posts!
