To Mirazur West romping home in the Supreme Novice Hurdle, thus beginning the greatest week of the year!!!
I am going to have MAX bet on Love Envoi, she won't be beat with the allowance
He puts the mig in midgets ...
And midgets
While State Man looks the likely winner of the CH 1 to3 on is a horrible price and I'll definitely be opposing him at those odds.
Tht mig loves the ban hammer
I stuck my head in to join the chat but seems dead on it's feet here, maderation got way to heavy handed, I blame that Mig Cúnt.
A week before Cheltenham and there is someone that doesn't know the name of the multiple grade 1 winning, favourite of the Champion Hurdle.
Statesman?
This might be of interest to Dublin fans
It would be interesting to see how the whole thing operates. EG do big yards like WM or Elliott who would be sending 50 or more horses over send them all over in one go or do they stagger it.
These Cheltenham previews are a cod at this stage. You're never going to hear a word for one that has a chance. Like Davy Russell said one year in the parade ring after a winner for Gigginstown, 'I really fancied this lad. I had an awful job keeping my mouth shut at the preview nights'.
I saw Paul Townend on one recently, I know he's the quiet type but ffs all he did was smile and clear his throat every few minutes.
Waste of time listening to anyone from WM.
Johnny Dinner would have his ear to the ground, and probably gets ahead of the hype, such as Sir Gino, Ballyburn, fact to file etc.
Really like Gavin Lynch, I don't mind if lads don't find winners left right and centre, once they're not talking nonsense
I have watched a few Cheltenham preview nights and there are two analysts that I admire, Johnny Dinneen and Donn McLean. There are also several that have IMO little to offer, Katie Walsh or anyone connected to the WM yard for starters.
Thanks but I really just want to watch something rather than having a discussion about it.
We discuss all that in our private group
BTW are there any interviews out there, YouTube or whatever, where jockeys/trainers give an insight into the whole logistics of getting a bunch of horses to Cheltenham. Wliies yard alone must involve huge planning and organising.
I think Stateman will destroy this lot. It’s the worst field he’s faced this season. Past festival winner as well. Everything in his favour.
+ Stateman is no certainty.
Still a little skinny I think GDC is the weak link.
With Stateman at about 1/3, Lossiemouth 1/2 and GDC around 5/4, combined odds for treble is about 3.5/1, so on the face of it 5/1 seems decent value.
Hard to see any of them being beaten to be fair. Had thought GDC looked a shadow of himself early in season, but seems to have re-found his mojo, very impressive LTO.
See PP have those two Lossiemouth and State Man along with GDC in treble up from 3/1 to 5/1.
Decent bet?
With Constitution Hill out, looks very straightforward for Statesman now in a very non-competitive renewal, the only danger I could see would be Lossiemouth were she to go that route, but don't see that happening.
Marine Nationale also being out means Arkle looks very open, and likely not a great race.
Ballyburn looks odds-on to win if goes in Supreme, and with Statesman and Lossiemouth looking nailed on in Champion and Mares Hurdle, the first day not looking great overall.
So is there no longer any Cheltenham open discussion on boards, just private groups?
Our private group is going well. There’s a meet up next week for the Tuesday racing. PM me if you want to get in. Goes for others too!
It was always likely. If he just came up with the issue last week, then he might have had a chance. But the fact that he missed the Unibet because of a 'poor scope' a month ago, means that something was probably lingering for some time.
Constitution Hill now a Non Runner
One week to go, any sign of life out there?
