    Redknapp back in the premiership,don't see that happening he has had his day as a top flight manager IMO, league 1 or 2 maybe

    I'm delighted to see Josephine Gordon get a good stable job with Hugo palmer.
    Some difference in her riding from a year ago, just watching her the last few days shes very agggressive in the finish which I like to see.
    I would much rather her than Luke Morris anyway.

    Richard faheys apprentice natilie hambling is getting a lot of chances off him and will go on a good run of winners when she learns to stop going up the inside rail to go by a horse.

    Luke morris is an excellent jockey are you seriously saying you would have her over him ?

    Droidman always good to see you here



    There are very few jockeys I would give out about but George Baker is so poor it is unreal. He's honestly horrendous

    Absolutely Johner,it has no soul and is not a proper football stadium.i was there a few months ago and it's a world away from the Boleyn in atmosphere terms.i don't think that's the main problem though,too many stockings of sh*ite bought in the summer,painful to watch them this season.

    That's what I'm saying , her technique is far better than him as well.
    She's already considered better than Luke Morris, what stable is he attached too.

    That was the one I thought it might be too, that or equation of time. Be interesting to see if its back over a mile next time.

    There were 3 or 4 i have been watching for a while that ran well.

    The 1 that you put up a few times mentioned by francie recently ran well over 7f in a very comepitave affair. One of Drnis Hogans ran well as well and will surely be off next time. Chillie Billie ran well as well has tumbled down the weights and if dropped a pound or two will be in the winners closure soon.

    Think i've spotted the best handicapped horse in Ireland for Dundalk friday. Hopefully I'm right and we can cash in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,771 ✭✭✭robbiezero


    Chiclet heading over for the last in Newcastle tomorrow. Might have an e/w chance at decent odds.

    Prince Connoisseur is the horse i was on about. Opened up at 14s, still some 12s available but the gamble is well and truly underway.
    With that said, I havent had a massive bet as I was hoping for a better price. There is a risk that he has just gone off the game but he has pretty low mileage on the clock and i'm certain Johnny will get another win out of him at some stage.

    Agree not sure if it's 1 for max faith but have had a bet at 12s. Well drawn and hopefully tomorrow is the day


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,484 ✭✭✭Peintre Celebre


    Na my one hasn't been mentioned. He wasnt entered this week if he's out next week he's worth about a ten point bet. I threw a score on prince connoisseur earlier at 14s but you can't back him with any faith he's miles down in the handicap for a reason but they obviously like him they keep backing him.

    Best bet tomorrow evening I think I'd No Way Jack in the second last. Not the most competitive handicap I think he should be fav to be honest, he's very well handicapped and 7 is his trip. 7/1 is very big when you consider Oor Jock is 4/1 I'd have them the same price or mine slightly shorter. Worth a tonne for luck

    Seems to be a bit of a Niall McCullagh gamble going on too. All his horses are blue. not following myself.

    Just going to put it out there that I think mall dini will be a serious national horse next year.
    Jumps and travels for fun, but has no real turn of pace.

    Didn't see the race but surprised he went off that price with bachasson in the field. How did bachasson run?
