Some very interesting runners at Thurles. Champagne Fever, Lord Windermere, Augusta Kate. Also a horse called Chesapeake but he isn't a bay ............ I'll get my coat.
Great to see old Fever out, class horse especially at Chelts where he just eats up that hill!Still only nine so will hopefully make the festival again and not get a love bite on the boat over like last time.
Most interesting debutant has to be Mark Pitman's unraced Sea The Stars gelding Sea Sovereign in the 3.45 at Towcester. His dam, Lidakiya, was bred by the Aga Khan and has thrown a couple of half-decent types in Lingapour (rated 91 on the flat) and Lilanda (rated 80 on the flat).
They've been having a go at Scottsdale again Oddy. I felt Brennan didn't do the horse much favours lto, perhaps thought he had more to give than he actually had. He should prove tough to beat but I won't be backing anything in it so wish your one well
Off to the races in Dundalk Friday ste...any good pubs I should visit around the town? Only ever passed through it once so I know very little of the area.
Never been to Dundalk STH but did go out with a wee gal from there during my college days.Lovely girl but that accent took a while to get used to!Heard the town has a ****load of pubs so I'm sure you will find somewhere to wet your whistle! If I hear anything juicy running I'll be sure to share
No problem. Looking forward to it now, sure we will find some nice spot to sink a few there after and before! More importantly ste...If you hear any horses are going to win, let me know on Fridays DT
Where is Woolly to give us the nod for GORING ONE tomorrow then???? Wadhams in the first at Towcester is expected to go well.
Re Dundalk have been a few times. Nice little town I think. Loads of pubs, lots have excellent food. Recommend going to the bartender or the pheonix (next door to each other in the centre of town). Rum house opposite for a late bar.
Sorry stick-didn't get a chance to get on yday - the horse came out of Fontwell very well (pretty obv I suppose otherwise he wouldn't have run here) Saw him work the other day and has come on abundance for the race! Expected to run well ew at the least!
Yeah i only saw his price about 5 mins ago! Couldnt believe my eyes! I took a small bit of the 33's as soon as prices went on yday
Great to see Champagne Fever out again, he would have no doubt gone very close in Dodging Bullet's champion chase. He tends to shine most during the spring and i think he can be beaten here. Roi Des Francs is my selection, the yard are going well currently and last year he had the impressive Sub Lieutenant behind twice on winter ground - that looks pretty solid form now and he was then undone by quicker ground in the spring.
For a true Del Boy story, in the 3:45 Towcester bumper, DELLS RAQUEL runs after being picked up for £600 at the sales! She must be hooky!
