    I see Geraghty has had a treble at Bellewstown including Bessie Lou in the first trained by one M J Fitzgerald - not the former jockey is it? Seems to be commentating on ATR tonight

    Turns out Await The Dawn was found to have a temprature after racing yesterday and according to some tweets his condition is getting worse lets hope the horse will be back on the track soon. Just goes to show how clueless some helmets are blaming young Joseph O'Brien for his defeat - pocket talkers

    Interesting about ATD having a temperature rainbowview. Where does that leave AOB's excuse that he got beat because he needed a run? Things appear to be spinning out of control at Coolmore! Still, as long as the horse's reputation is not too badly damaged - that's what matters.

    I highly doubt they would make it up about the horse having a temprature and his condition getting worse. I don't see why everyone attacks O'Brien about making up excuses because if you notice he never has to make an excuse twice (Soyouthink a perfect example) maybe he felt he had left him short and that was the purpose for his defeat call me gullible for falling for it but I just get the feeling a lot of people just don't like him because he is Irish. Cecil never shut up about Midday losing to SNA but nothing was said then. The main thing is O'Brien was a gent yesterday and was the first to congratulate Cecil on his fantastic training performance.

    The funniest thing though is people blaming Joseph O'Brien who rode the perfect race (certain stayer in a small field sat behind the pacemaker) pressed the button but the horse found nothing so that is his fault <laugh> the likes of pathetic pocket talkers

    Great quote from rv!

    "I just get the feeling a lot of people just don't like him because he is Irish."

    What does AOB's nationality have to do with anything?

    I've been to Ireland twice in my life and both times I found them very friendly.
