I thought that Henderson horse looked leniently treated. Hosed up. Another good run from Rock Danse - hurdled beautifully again - but he was badly outpaced by some smart horses at the business end of the race. Clearly the going much too lively for him, hopefully that EBF final will be run on juicier ground.
I was having a right swear at the one(s) that crowded him out; cut him right up, bastards. Obviously wouldn't have got near the winner but I think he was inconvenienced by that hustling. Jockey is very good with a good eye for a stride. I thought that last time he ran
1-2-3-4 for Mullins in the Grade 1 juvenile hurdle at Leopardstown. Not sure any of them will trouble Sir Gino though.
Take a bow Danny Mullins - what a day he is having. Marine Nationale soundly beaten - that throws the Arkle market wide open All eyes on Gaelic Warrior tomorrow - if he wins well will Willie be thinking Arkle with him?
In the Bumper at Leopardstown (16:40), a Grade-2, Class-1 affair over 2m on soft ground, will take a chance at the current odds on the Walk In The Park gelding, The Enabler, who has a decent squeak at making a podium finish. ADTS is an overwhelming favourite of course, but if found a bit short on fitness after a 283-day layoff, then maybe there will be a mild shock? We'll see. Mr. Harry Swan rides for the Gordon Elliott stable. 11/1 (PP/Betfred/ BetVictor) is the best price at time of writing. on ATR. E/W preferred option.
16:35 Musselburgh - Restandbethankful e/w 17/2 bet price ((Wm.Hill/BetVictor) best price with ATR at time of writing.
I had to drive to Edinburgh and back and missed the last 2 hours racing but what a result! My 9 quid stake returned 277 but some nice winners in there. dancing city at 18/1, Found a fifty 2nd at 12/1, Inis Oirr at 6/1, Maxxus 40/1, jeroboam machin 12/1
