Wed 1st - return of Emitom

mirwillbeback

Looking forward to seeing one of my favourites in the Relkeel Hurdle @ 3.10 at Cheltenham.

Such a strong traveller in her races, and only horse to finish ahead of her is Champ.

I’m on ante post for the Stayers, and had a small nibble for tomorrow as well.

Just hope she’s at full fitness ðŸ™ðŸ»

Emitom is a gelding.

supremenovice

Happy New Year lads. Heres to a profitable 2020 on the betting front. It can get out of hand around here from time to time but I think we're all like minded and close knit bunch at the end of the day. We are just hoping to make a few quid and enjoy the odd day at the races & share our passion that is horse racing on this mad forum. Plenty of fun, ups and downs over the next 12 months Im sure.

Imagine how good Emitom would be if he had a trainer.

Emitom has beaten some very ordinary novices, remains to be seen if it can step up in class and I can't say I would be too confident at 5/2.

The Rooster

Presumably there’s a good reason Outlander is 100/1 in the Cheltenham 2.00!
On the bare face of it looks like on a reasonable handicap mark.

Christ, what a hangover! I get awful emotional after 5 pints and 3 glasses of prosecco. Lalor each way to start off with a bang.

Saint Calvados only 2lbs higher than when winning a handicap at Cheltenham in October. Double figures available is to big.

15.10 Emitom "This is a slightly delayed return to the track for Emitom after a setback early this season. He seems to be bigger and stronger this year and I think he is very good. This is a big ask and we will know a lot more about our plans for the season after today.

14.00 Saint Calvados "Saint Calvados has been freshened up for this and lines up back in handicap company. He is only 3lb higher than when he won here in October. It will be a tough race with Kalashnikov in the mix, but it also means we will not be carrying top weight. We have been very happy with him at home and he should get his conditions here."

trainer


some other useless quotes



12:15

Welsh Saint

Nicky Henderson

We tinkered with his wind over the summer and it has really helped as he came back with a great effort at Exeter, when he would have needed it, and then won at Warwick last time in a race that really fell apart and he was pretty much left as last man standing. This is a big step up but he’s improving and will have no problem with the ground.

7/4

12:15....Grand Mogul

Nicky Henderson

He came to us from Gordon Elliott’s and was running a nice race at Newbury last time but seemed to lose his action turning into the straight so Nico looked after him and pulled him up, which was the right thing to do. He’s absolutely fine and I’ve been very happy with his work and schooling ever since. A stiff track like this could suit and I’m hopeful he can put his debut run behind him and we can move forward. 20/1



1:25.....Champ

Nicky Henderson

We looked at the Kauto Star (Feltham) on Boxing Day but this race just gave us another week after Newbury so the plan had been to come here for a while and it will also give him valuable experience over fences at the course. Whether we go down the RSA route or JLT will be a lot clearer after this but I’m extremely happy with him and see no reason why he shouldn’t put up a very bold show. 8/15

2:00.....Ok Corral

Nicky Henderson

He lost a front shoe in the Ladbrokes Trophy which wouldn’t have done him any favours although I’m not convinced it stopped him winning. We’re going back down to two and a half miles which he’s won over before and the likely good gallop here will suit. The handicapper has dropped him a couple of pounds and he’s extremely lightly raced for a ten year old. He’ll have no issue with the ground and I think he has a great chance. 10/1

2:00....Saint Calvados

Harry Whittington

Saint Calvados has been freshened up for this and lines up back in handicap company. He has been dropped a 1lb since his last run, making him only 3lb higher than when he won here in October. It will be a tough race with Klashnikov in the mix, but it also means we will not be carrying top weight. We have been very happy with him at home and he should get his conditions here. 8/1

2:35....Beware The Bear

Nicky Henderson

He ran his usual race in the Ladbrokes Trophy last time when staying in to finish fourth (again!) and we’ll probably end up at Aintree but this looks a good opportunity to get him out and hopefully he’ll go out there and enjoy himself. Jerry gets on very well with him and they know each other inside out. He’s in great form at home but don’t expect to see him doing anything too quickly early on. 9/1

2:35...Might Bite

Nicky Henderson

He hasn’t raced over hurdles for yonks but we all saw what happened at Aintree when he got rid of Nico then decided to carry on enjoying himself and showing off to the crowd! But he’s a few pounds lower over hurdles and the return to the smaller obstacles will help his confidence. Things haven’t gone his way for quite a while and we’ll be doing well to return to the days of winning King Georges and RSAs but the raw ability is still there and hopefully he can take advantage of running in a handicap hurdle for the first time since April 2016! 8/1

3:10....William Henry

Nicky Henderson

He won the Coral Cup over course and distance in March and then put up a very good effort over three miles at Aintree after that but this trip is probably his optimum and the ground should be ideal. He’ll probably come on for the run but is as fit as I can get him (without a run) and is a very solid person who has every chance here....5/1

3:10...Emitom

Warren Greatrex

A slightly delayed return to the track after a set back early doors this season. Seems to be bigger and stronger this year and I think he is very good. A big ask today and we will know a lot more about our plans for the season after today. 11/4

3:10....Janika

Nicky Henderson

He’s been chasing but Anthony (Bromley) suggested this race could be worth a shot and as he was right with Call Me Lord in the Unibet International and indeed this horse in the Haldon Gold Cup, who am I to argue! We could have run in the Handicap Chase but this race has cut up nicely and he certainly isn’t there just for the day out. 2/1

3:50....Audacity

Warren Greatrex

Has been very green on both starts so far this season but the penny is starting to drop! A stiff task today but if he can travel more strongly through his race I see no reason why he cannot be placed. 16/1

3:50....Be The Best

Oliver Signy

Be The Best will be my first Cheltenham runner. As a listed bumper it will be a hot race and will tell us a lot about the horse. 66/1

3:50....Grand Roi

Nicky Henderson

We had him entered over hurdles earlier in the season but thought we’d stick to bumpers while we can and I have to admit I thought he put up a very good performance at Sandown last month. This looks a very competitive bumper but Daphne Du Clos came very close to winning it a few years back so we need to rectify the situation. There are lots of unknown quantities here but I’m happy with our horse and he should put up a decent show.

I am having a tenner on Quel Destin. Massively overpriced at 14's, that price is wrong.

Sir Psycho
3:00 Exeter

Sir Psycho was beaten at odds-on at Taunton last time but that surely wasn't his running and he can bounce back at a much more suitable track in the Racing TV Extra Novices' Hurdle at Exeter (3.00).

The hugely talented Bryan Carver takes over today and his 7lb claim can make the difference, as Bullionaire will have his work cut out to give Sir Psycho 19lb.

Risk of a none stayer but Magic Saint in the next here at 10/1 ew 4 places will do me, his win over Bun Doran was boosted over Xmas when he won the Desert Orchard.

Riquelme

I wonder what will they do with him now. I think the JLT is still a very big possibility especially given that Samcro is apparently a 'handicapper' now and Laurina bled. The RSA does looks deeper and with Champ's poor jumping and bit of a loose cannon mentality the JLT might suit him better.

Hopefully connections grow a pair and bring him over for the Leopardstown festival.

Surely 12/1 Might Bite off 7lbs lower than his chase mark is a decent bet

Andrew00

How has Skandiburg won that. Been watching racing for quite a few years and don't see that to often

Was being pushed along on the first circuit

Riquelme

Time to retire Might Bite, completely gone at the game. What a great horse on his day though the mad bastard.

Pound a stroke was punted a few weeks ago at Thurles the day racing was abandoned. Goes in next at Tramore

Couple of bets on the US of A for me this evening.

5.25 Philadelphia, Dreamers Moon. Very short at around 4/5 - 8/11ish and I don't think it will win. I've went over this and over this and it stands out as a very clear lay bet. Can't see it winning.

On a side note on today. I was slating Geraghty the last day and people on here thought I was mad. Didn't think he did much wrong today and people are slating him. Gas stuff.

Following McCoy was always going to be a hiding to nothing. Saying that he’s not for me and hasn’t been for some time. I wonder will JP stay with him. Walsh already does most of the Irish rides and I think someone like Sean Bowen could do a decent job in the UK.
