7.50 Dundalk - Namazee. US pedigree and returns to synthetic surface after couple of average runs on turf. Form of run here few starts back looks very strong and easy to forgive any horse a poor run at Ballybrit. Shovel it on IMO.

Well done

Nice one harmless
Hope mine does the business now as well

No harm

Not a bigger crook could you meet

Reading a new book that I picked up while back in UK, The Jumping Game with profiles of different trainers and some of their methods, quite interesting for those who want to get an insight on that side of the game, I’m only 50 pages in but enjoying it

Lost a lot of horses,does not have the income for a good while now to service a large mortgage and we know the banks wont wait.

Francie Barrett · 28-08-2018 11:59pm

Tony's yard has been up for sale for years at previously higher prices. The fact it's now going to auction suggests to me that the banks are looking to make a quick sale.

With all that said though, don't get too excited about him quitting. If the yard is sold, I would still expect Tony to still be training horses. He must easily have 50-60 horses in training despite Gigginstown and Malcolm Denmark pulling their horses, so there's no reason why he can't just rent a stable and continue on and still make a living.

A move might be a good thing for him though. His strike rate is reaching Philip Rothwell levels of badness. Something very wrong going on there and it certainly isn't a virus.

A lot of his horses are sick and the ones that aren't are running quite well the last few months. Heard he picked up some nice horses for the upcoming NH season so you're right that he probably will continue on. I think he still has connections with the yard in Trimblestown so that might be where he moves to.

Heurtevent is 8/1 tomorrow in the first at Worcester. Back to a shorter trip & course he likes he should be placed at least.

Rey Loopy was a Hugh Taylor pick today and was available at 12/1 before he posted it.

You also picked out Hugh Taylors pick De Disco Kid late on Saturday night for yesterday's racing, so before Hugh posted it.

You seem to have a good eye!
