St Stephens Day

BumperD

This should keep us going until the 26th.

Just had a flick through Leopardstwon. Gigginstown have no less than 10 entered in the bumper for 4yr olds! Holy crap, he must be spending some dough.

Cannot wait for the Christmas racing. Tends to be a hectic day but always a few gambles landed

I know someone who is friendly enough with Patrick.

It's a Gigginstown horse so he won't be going to Cheltenham.

That was my second question

Perhaps not the most exotic choices but I'm going to side with a short priced double at kempton in jollyallan and silviniaco conti. big difference in pricing by the big bookmakers in champagne fevers price with him as low as 3/1 and as high as 11/2. I reckon all prices for the main races will be higher on the morning of, seems to be the case with a lot of racing these days.

If my first two come up short, I'll probably have a crack at the Irish bumpers unless I spot a gamble earlier in the day. I don't have access to the rp paper (never mind even live racing unless someone can pm me a decent site to view it on web) but for those that do, keep an eye out for horses with multiple entries in handicaps on the 26th, usually (but not always) points to a decent run being expected. Good luck with the punting.

Flicking through tomorrow's cards, a few handicappers that were out last yr go again tomorrow,

down royal on the fringe, court jester
Leopardstown luddesdenene, clar cam (g1), king vuvuzela
font well, according to them. Pegeno diablo
Limerick, good as gold
Towcester, la grand chene
Huntington, Delgary demon

I've been considering the King George the past couple of days and I've convinced myself that a good each way bet on Johns Spirit could be a good bet. He's as genuine and consistent as the fancied horse and I think his last run when just edged out could be enough to see him in the money here. Granted he needs to step up but I think this horse has the potential to be quite smart.


Don't forget the Gilgamboa and On The Fringe double lads.

tbh I think Gilgamboa will find it tough giving 18lb to Adrianna Des Mottes on heavy ground, and prefer the latter at 5/2

Think Wounded Warrior will take the two of them. Beat Blood Cotil more impressively than Gilgamboa and is a big improver. Meade thinks the world of him

BumperD

How impressive was Alvisio Ville. Serious performance

I've been told more than once that they think the world of Gilgamboa.
I was told Christmas eve to back him and On The Fringe. They way the chap was saying it defeat was out of the question.

They are talking about a possible tilt at the Arkle come March.

BumperD

Kalkir here should be great to watch. Hope he's as impressive again today (obviously not a betting proposition!)

BumperD

My goodness 33/1. Screws up a lot of accums for people

Good performance by Fiscal Focus there. Beat the favourite easily and miles back to the third. Ground is pretty bottomless now at Leopardstown - I certainly wouldn't be backing any shorties!

BumperD

Filthy looking handicap coming up at Leop - chuck a pin at it

jimjamcos

Some performance by Gilgamboa!!

Fairly hacked up, made a little easier with the mullins horse tipping up at the last but didn't make a difference.

BumperD

The machine Faugheen to win by 10L+?

BumperD

Champion Hurdle winner in waiting

liamoreilly

...wow...

jimjamcos

Faugheen the machine. What an animal! Jumping better now too.

Shemale

My neighbour got a tip for Annkrista 10/1 in 3.00 at Down Royal

BumperD

5/4 fav now faugheen for champ hurdle. Slight over-reaction given jezski & new one there

Yeah - they must have drifted significantly for the CH after that huge cut to Faugheen's price! :D

BumperD

Vautour next up. Maybe not so straight forward given its fences rather than hurdles but if he jumps clean, he wins easily. That Clar Cam not a bad horse

Shemale

Faugheen was unbelievable there, crazy price for March

Shemale

Townend should get the boot if he gets Vautour beaten, after he gets him standing up he pulls down his goggles, you would have to wonder if he jumped the fence unable to see

byronbay2

Bottomless ground is a great leveller - makes good horses look very ordinary. A dour stayer is what you need on that ground. I learnt that many years ago when Pridwell beat Istabraq in The Aintree Hurdle.

Was very unlucky, booted the second last out, thought he would win but jockey stopped using the whip in the run in with the horse responding and he only avoided running into the back of the winner in the run in

I was only 3 goals away from winning my bet

My beloved hammers beaten,on the fringe lets me down for a tasty treble, oh woe is me

Dunno if anyone watched the 3:25 in Wincanton, had a few bob on Munkerty Tunkerty, thought he was rolling back the years, looked too far back but started to thread through the field and was expecting him to throw down a decent challenge but didn't get close enough in the end. Worth a look.
