St. Stephen's Day

Right well it starts here...

Apart from all the big races which I, and the rest of you, will get to in time I want to start with my nap:

BALLYGALLY BAY - Leopardstown 1:25

Watched this horse make up a lot of ground and just go down by a head in Fairyhouse at the start of the month so stuck him into the book. Stevie Mahon said afterwards that he maybe wasn't ridden in the best way and he'd come on for that etc... Anyway, there's a certain Mr. Carberry on board this time and I think it'll be hard for him to mess this one up. Very confident of a win with this one. If he does as I expect him to, then we'll have to back his stable mate, vox populi who will run on the 27th.

This is just the start of what, hopefully, will be a very profitable thread for us all.

It's not quite a nap, but Finger On The Pulse is racing 12:55 leopardstown on stephens day. The horse is very well regarded by the connections. (bollocks to that i know.) So far there is two maiden hurdles under its history, first time out he was beaten only 3 lengths by Ikitaf who has subsequently gone on to beat o'muirtheach (sp?). The run after that he came 2nd to a horse called Marbeuf, who hasnt done much since. This horse is due to win a maiden hurdle, monday looks like the day, but who knows, iwill be backing it anyway. thoughts/opinions welcome.

Ballgally bay or Dreux?, dreux is a horse that will stay in there the whole race which is so important in leopardstown, havnt heard much of balgally bay

kc66

I was told to make sure to back Ballygally Bay by someone that should know.

blahblah06

what do u mean kc

masterK

There's a strong word for Jimjonpaddal at Down Royal 3:00, comes from a reliable source who says to back it each way.

I also heard a whisper for Green Belt Flyer at Leopardstown 3:05, the source of is a bit hit and miss with their information.

Top notch animal but with KK & Kingscliff & it's only 1st & 2nd isn't it? Not as easy a selection then, I wouldn't imho but sure we'll see.

Paying on 3rd as well

Sh*t I thought Monkerhostin had it. I backed him e/w at 25/1.

wheres me jumpa

went with magern myself. i have been a fan of monkerhosting for two years now, but didnt even consider him for this race. great finish.

sector

Monkerhostin ran a corker, almost had it alright, great selection btw, i knew it was a great animal but thought that lot would have beaten him back.

he was accelerating too, another couple of lenghts & he had it, great race!

chump

It was a good finish alright...

Fair play on the Monkerhostin selection, am glad KK got it tho :v:

hawker

I've read these baords a few times and don't get much chance to post. Seems like there are a good few posters with a very good knowledge of horses.

Anywas I got word for a horse in the last race in Huntingdon today. It's called 'The Piker'. I wish I could give you more information but unfortunately thats all I was told.

Apologies in advance if the word is cr@p.

sector

tks for the tip, worth a flutter as much as the next I guess.

wheres me jumpa

its bertie came 3rd, so that wasnt a bad call. my only return today, everybody, awwwww!

Too bad to be true tbh,I thought Carberry never got the horse settled at all and was never going well.Has to be better than what you saw yesterday...
