Hello, crew. Hope everyone tickety-boo. Firstly, well done to the Stick boy and Jennys Surprise, what a lovely name for a mare by the way. And cor blimey, you old rogue, what a nice prizepot to boot! I’m in Wales tomorrow (don’t worry regular readers I’ve received my inoculations) so thought I’d post this today. Before Christmas I spoke about a nudge, nudge, wink, wink horse who would have a ‘quiet’ run over hurdles (his 3rd to gain a perch) before being unleashed properly in a handicap hurdle. He (Broadway Dreams) has his first run since of the morrow but it’s on the level, I say the level. Had it been in a handicap hurdle I would have been instructing the regular readers to open the vault but tomorrow is, as detailed, on the Flat and quite frankly anything could happen. I’m not going to deploy that terrible forum cliché and say ‘I’ve been told…’ because quite frankly I haven’t been! My own interpretation, and this could be very wrong, is that tomorrow is a ‘prep’, a ‘hors d'oeuvre’, a ‘sighter’ (as Broadway dreams hasn’t run for 2 months) in order to get him fully ready for a handicap hurdling debut in the not too distant future. Also, I can’t see connections wanting him to romp home tomorrow otherwise he is going to be ridiculously short, in the market, when running over timber off 100! As an example of how well handicapped Broadway Dreams is over hurdles. He’s 100 in that sphere but 75 on the level. Contrast that gap with Cliffs of Dover, the chatter horse from the weekend – 145 over timber and 64 on the Flat. Shows how well handicapped BD is over hurdles and COD on the Flat, incidentally – but that’s a subject for another day! Look I just don’t know how BD will fare tomorrow but watch him together with your notebook and get on him, for real, when he goes handicap hurdling. I will have a tiny bit on, each-way, at Kempton (the forecast price is 16/1) but more as insurance if you like to stop me going ‘bally bonkers’ if he does oblige! I’ll leave it to the individual to decide if you want to back, lay or do the ‘Liberal Democrat equivalent’ (i.e. something in between) re tomorrow’s 6.45 at Kempton Park. Good luck all.
Cheers Barney. Was a very nice pot indeed and the syndicate were treated royally by Mr Walters who opened his private box to them and supplied free champagne. We now have to have a ballot to see who gets to keep the bloody great trophy for a year! She has come out of the race very well but FOB has sent up to the top yard to be on a light duties for the next ten days before resuming proper gallop work and sorting out the next target. I know there were one or two detractors among our ranks but we really could not have asked for anything better than the arrangement Chris and Fergal gave us. A chance to own (temporarily) a really classy mare. Looking forward to March 21st when they have organised a morning at the yard exclusively for the syndicate members. Best of luck to the other Foxtrot runner today, Caid Du Lin. If it wins today they will have a tilt at the Imperial Cup but if as is quite possible he is over the top then he will be roughed off with a view to going novice chasing next season.
You know it is not far to Cheltenham and the first spring flowers when you see the Adonis Hurdle at Kempton just around the corner. This years renewal doesn't exactly look like a classic, with Redicean likely to be a very warm favourite. Most disappointingly, the forums favourite Lieutenant doesn't have an entry (unless old boy Munir is planning a late switch to Seven Barrows for Beau Gosse, currently listed as being trained by Guillaume Macaire). I wonder whether Richard Spence's Thistimenextyear might be worth a speculative e/w poke at the 50/1 being dangled by Billy Hills and Skybet? A couple of things in his favour would be (1) he won a flat maiden at Lingfield over 1m4f and finished a decent 4th at Ffos Las (behind none other than Sternrubin) off a mark of 80 and (2) the yard is in decent nick with the last 4 runners finishing 3121.
First post due to having had problems with email confirmation but thanks to Ron & Andy now able to post. Littlestickarubarb 1525 Clonmel, first run for new stable trainer has stated if it reproduces its work at home will have a great chance. Best of luck
