    An absolute tool of a horse.

    I didn't think Jack gave him the best of spins but he was just far and away the best horse there.

    Matt Chapman is a ****ing legend

    He was very funny with Michel O'Leary before and after that first race, you could tell O'Leary likes him too, was playing along when Matt was taking the pish.

    Didnt have a bet in the race but absolutely delighted Samcro won and won the way he did, brilliant horse

    Absolutely, always looked a very good piece of form and that was a massive boost to it.

    monalee fan. my bet for the day


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,277 ✭✭✭danganabu


    Looked he was going to win easy but didn't really pull away from them

    Was worth much more than the bare form, if he stays sound he is going to be an absolute suerstar.

    Gone for Black Corton here but the form ties in very closely with Elegant Escape (shook Samcro up in his ptp) who looks a decent price. Being very impressed with the Bryony Frost partnership, though, so sticking with her.

    Money coming in for BC now too by the looks of it.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,023 ✭✭✭✭Joe_ Public


    Irish form holds sway. Looked most likely winner from early on, Monalee did well to make it as much a race as he did.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 392 ✭✭Didactic Ninja


    i backed that presenting percy earlier this year and he was useless.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,277 ✭✭✭danganabu


    Fair play to Russel, didnt cover himself in glory yesterday but that was some ride


  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 568 ✭✭✭Auroras_encore


    Some performance, pat Kelly doesn't get it wrong to often
