L'Town & Limerick Christmas Festivals

klairondavis

Some really good entries for both meetings.

Hard to know what way Gigginstown will split their novices. Bog Warrior seems pencilled in for the 2 miler on St Stephens Day. I'd heard that Last Instalment will go for the 3 mile Grade 1 but now Mouse Morris is also suggesting First Lieutenant will run over Christmas. Hard to know whether Sir Des Champs will be kept away from them and take in the Greenmount at Limerick instead.

Weld has a 100 rated flat horse in the Grade 2 juvenile on Monday. No sign of Waaheb though among the entries. No sign of Samain either. Mullins does have Toostrong for Gigginstown in the Woodies Hurdle over 3 miles. Must be very highly thought of given that he only won a maiden hurdle a few weeks ago.

Bound to be a few promising bumper horses out next week too. Have heard positive noises about Champagne Fever and On Your Eoin both from the p2p field.

Sir Des Champs is only left in at Limerick. He isnt in the entries on the 26th at Leopardstown anymore.

Celebrity Sevi for Weld. JP has bought this horse off connections after his last win in a listed race at Dundalk. Could be a decent sort over hurdles.

Champagne Fever could be anything cost connections 200,000 euro after winning his only 4yo p2p start by 10 lengths. Only thing is nothing in behind that day has done anything for the form.

On Your Eoin again could be anything he won his only p2p start for William Codd. Has since been bought by Gigginstown and sent to Noel Meade. He beat Clondaw Warrior that day by 6 lengths in April. That horse has since gone on since and won three bumpers at Down Royal, Cork and Cheltenham.

Hurricane Fly drifted out to Evens??? Thousand stars into 2s.

Surely this must mean he won't be running??

NaiveMelodies

Well bettings suspended, can only assume the Fly won't be running now, Sneaky Mullins.

Gavin "shels"

Awh don't say that, I'm heading down the 29th and was looking forward to seeing him run.

NaiveMelodies

I'm only making assumptions man, hope he's there too.
On the other hand, if he's evens, its a sick price, I will be easily be placing my largest ever bet, fit or not, he'd simply have to beat them all.
Thousand Stars has come on alot, but can't see him getting anywhere near the Fly.
