    Also if Altior doesn't show up it wouldn't be completely out of the question were Willie not to have a change of heart and only run 1

    Rupert prefers Douvan, Willie also reckons hes the best hes trained so a 80% douvan should be good enough

    Probably need to await the Unibet blog for confirmation after all the cash is hoovered up on Betfair

    Wasn't to be for Bacardys today but almost a beautiful antepost bet.

    Such is racing.

    People might laugh but I think De Bromhead’s horse Three Stars is overpriced for the Grand Annual. He was contesting Grade 1s (albeit he wasn’t winning them) but he lost his way a bit and hasn’t won in a long time but I thought his run at the Dublin Racing Festival was brilliant. He was attacking his fences and looked very comfortable in the race. He made a mistake at the last which cost him the race and Rachel Blackmore came through to win on a well regarded horse of Willie’s.

    He has winning form on soft/heavy ground and is in off a handy weight. A reproduction of his run at Leopardstown last month when he wore cheekpieces for the first time would see him go very close in the Grand Annual. He’s in off 141 and would probably need to run to about 145+ to win this but I’d say there’s a small bit more improvement in him. He’ll go close with a clear run I think.

    I expected the money to arrive for him and it has in spades. Took some of the 40/1 that was on offer the other day and he’s as short as 14/1 now. I’m heading over in the morning and on to London for the rugby on Saturday so hopefully he can go well and pay for the weekend. Haven’t had a great week so it would be nice way to round it off.

    Very tricky race to sieve through and there’s money for several horses but this looks significant. Henry de Bromhead knows his horses inside out and I’d imagine Three Stars was working well with Balko Des Flos at home. There wasn’t a schilling on this all well but as soon as Balko won today there was money for it.

    Related contingency each way double that's not priced as related anyone?

    Black Ops in the Ballymore and Santini in the Albert Bartlett?

    Had to beat the bad third bringing the place part home.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 620 ✭✭✭WickIow Brave


    Gordon and Willie will have 15 winners between them.

    Yep. About right.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,340 ✭✭✭sdoc13

    That's some call. What odds would it have been to predict 15

    Ladbrokes offered 14/1 for Elliott, Mullins and Henderson to train 14 or more winners between them.

    It was only there for maybe half a day max, chopped it to 8/1 then which remained until Tuesday morning as far as I know.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,224 ✭✭✭jimjamcos


    Santini couldn't do it but stuck the head down strongly to get us the each way win. Still love him.

    Santini for 2019 RSA anyone? Ha

    Yeah, he'd be top of my list for it. Albert Bartlett was an odd race.

    Not sure I'd be steaming into anything until Samcro news came out. Would imagine it is between JLT & RSA for him at the moment. JLT be more than likely but you never know, O'Leary & Elliot could want him going over longer trip ahead of a 2020 gold cup bid.

    Was probably the only race I didn't really enjoy watching. Was a strange race to watch.

    I'd be absolutely shocked if Samcro ran in next years RSA.

    If I had to guess, based on Elliots post race comments when he was at a pain to mention speed, I'd say say Arkle or Champion Hurdle is where we'll see him.

    I'd wager that having ran Labaik in it last year as a novice, and having left Samcro in Irish Champion Hurdle right up to declaration stage, that Samcro could easily run in Punchestown Champion Hurdle. Faugheen is finished, BDV won't come over and on a line through Labaik, they'll be confident Samcro beats Melon. Could be winning of trainers championship which is clearly Elliots biggest goal.

    If it works out this way, it will be very difficult for them to turn down a tilt at Champion hurdle next season. They could give him one crack and go chasing if not working out.

    Problem you'll have with that is if a certain Samcro turns up in it.

    He goes Arkle or Champion Hurdle imo.


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


    If I was to hazard a guess at this stage I would say that Samcro will go to the JLT with all roads leading to the 2020 Gold Cup. They will mind him and the RSA can leave its mark on a lot of novices, and gigginstown have no interest in Champion Hurdles, all about the Gold Cup and thats what they bought him for.

    Didn't Don Cossack go to the RSA as a novice?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,288 ✭✭✭Fanny Wank


    Took 25/1 Summerville Boy for the 2019 champion hurdle. Was worried he'd go chasing but Nick Luck said on the Final Furlong he stays over hurdles

    How about that, placed my first AP bet for 2019 on 14/03/18. I think my first for Cheltenham 2018 was February 2018! And pretty sure it was NRNB


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,775 ✭✭✭✭Slattsy


    I think i have next years Arkle winner.

    Very true, however if you look at the lineup in that race it acyually supports the theory that the RSA is not an ideal race for a young horse and has left a mark on alot of runners.

    myself

    A friend of a friend is a driver for gordon. Brings him to and from races , to stables, anywhere he needs to go basically

    one evening after a few winners in clonmel or somewhere like that, they all stopped for a few pints.

    After a good skinful , they all set off for home. On the way home gordon said to the driver to go down by the stables rather than upto the house.

    Gordon gets out of the jeep, goes over to Samcros door and shouts ''YOU ARE A ****ING MACHINE!!!

    Bigged up after Sunday yes. Nothing outstanding about Sunday bar the fact he didn’t fall. He beat Jezki,who looks gone at the game to be honest, and a couple of handicappers.

    The 2m division looks probably it’s weakest in many years and the upcoming Champion Hurdle will be the weakest of the Championship races at the Festival for the second year in a row. I hope Elliott throws in a surprise such as Apples Jade because she’d probably beat all of them over 2m.

    Very simple though, Faugheen won’t be winning a Champion Hurdle in 2018.
    Top judgment.

    Bumper.The prices are mainly based on horses winning on proper winter heavy ground except one horse if his form is to believed,Didtheyleaveuoutto 8/1.His first time out run at Lingfield was utterly staggering based on the clock taken from 3f out where he posted the 2nd fastest time over the last five years at Lingfield[fastest all weather track in UK]over the distance including flat racing.He then went to Ascot for a listed bumper [unfancied???]and won eased down.By Presenting which enjoy quick ground and are beautiful movers this lad wants the ground like the middle of summer and again if the form can be believed and Cheltenham turns up good quick ground then Didtheyleaveuoutto could well better Montelados performance and be the greatest bumper winner ever at the festival.If Petit Mouchoir 8/1 turns up fit and healthy in the Arkle he wins.
    Word was he went back and his run at Leopardstown took everything out of him.Backed Footpad with a few bob.

    Farclas at 10s. Think the Spring Juvenile is the best form on offer and possibly by a fair margin. And I think Elliott's will over turn the form with Mullins' thing.
    Great call,Had bet aswell.
