I seen that with Elliot...He must have been giving a few neigh sayers the shots last night after a few pints of Dutch courage! He looked shook out didn't he I'd say he will be definitely be on the tap water later
Just noticed that the first 4 in the Lexus were all trained by Mullins a few months ago, just shows how OP his stable was and also shows that there are others who can deliver with the same ammunition. Can only be good for Irish racing that Gigginstown spread theirs around.
I doubt we'll see him again tbh - has always been difficult to keep fit and you'd have to be very worried that he hasn't been out over Christmas
Cooper was excellent a couple of years back when he began to upset Davy a few times and now the boots on the other foot. Who makes the decision on rides at Gigginstown because if it's cooper and he's picking then wrong- he deserves some criticism. If not though, he might need to be given time. This young Kennedy though looks top drawer.
Jaysus steady on Oddy! Ricci was saying only today he'll be back for the Irish Champion. I remember a few years back we didn't see a certain Hurricane Fly reappear until that particular race one season and I think he even managed a race or two more afterwards As much as I'm a fan of the GOAT their communication, or lack of, has been dam right piss poor.
The Fly was never injured per se though was he? Just "not ready" or "not working well". I'm worried faugheen has injured himself and they can't get him back. Hope I'm wrong though
I'm going to fly a drone over Closutton tomo morning so will let you know if I see Faugheen out on the gallops.Will also try to find out what Willie eats for breakfast if anyone is interested
On an unrelated note, Ana Ivanovic has retired from tennis i see. I could certainly find her something to do in that spare time. Crikey o Riley.
Just had an email from Skybet that the wrong result for 3rd place was called in the 2.55 Lingers. Elementary was called but in fact Sun Angel got up. As a good will gesture they will pay out on both. Happy days, that now means an extra £100 or so in my account as I had the tricast
