I see Imperial Commander is back in training.He,ll be 13 come next Gold Cup and surely owes connections nothing.He couldn,t possibly win another Gold Cup and I,d hate to see him come to harm ala Dorans Pride when he should be out in a field enjoying well earned retirement.Any thoughts?

I'd agree that he should be retired.

carmanard · 15-10-2013 01:39PM

If they want to run Imperial Commander, why not get a hunters cert for him?? Run him in a few hunter chases, give the horse a nice few days out, he owes connections absolutely nothing... Then take a shot at the Foxhunters at Cheltenham or Aintree, whichever... I'd rather see him being retired myself, but if connections (or NTD himself) insist on running him then they should have looked at that as an option

Didn't see the 2.15 at the curragh, but I see that the O'Brien trained winner opened at 11/10 and then won at 4/9, must have been a lot of unhappy bookies up there...

I heard a yarn about Jim Bolger actually... He was at a funeral here in Wexford a couple of years ago, had a cabal of the local hangers on around him (ie politicians, GAA County Board chairman, hotel owner who has GAA connections etc) as seems to be the usual when he's at an event around here. Anyways, a bloke who used to be in school with Bolger was at the funeral, spotted Jim outside the church.. Walks up to Bolger, goes to shake his hand saying "Howaya Jim I'm (name removed to preserve anonymity), I was in your class in school, how are you keeping"... To which Bolger replied "You might have been in my class then, but you're certainly not in my class now", turned on his heel and went off, leaving yer man gobsmacked. What. A. C-unt.

No denying he's a bloody clever man though...

@SRFC,

I think you're being a little hard on him, of course he could tip ****e out of a bucket, it's just that it would end up all over him

Backed Mary's Daughter in the 5.20 at Nottingham 16s each way, down in the weights and caught the ye the run before last at York, good claimer on here and there is some support for her, she loves soft ground

shamdrog63 · 16-10-2013 01:27PM

Would agree with you on Chaloner.He,s a good lad.

UrbanSea · 16-10-2013 05:04PM

I'm not the only one on her today backed into 6/1 but nowhere

Johner · 16-10-2013 09:26PM

Michael Winters sends one over to Wincanton tomorrow. Moon Prince in the 4.20, currently 2/1 and won last time out at Tipperary.

I seem that earlier. You'd think the form winters is in that this would be in the bag. I reckon landenstown star under a plot could run a big one at bottom weight tomorrow that might ruin the party..

Connections are a shower of *****, I was disgusted they ran him in the national after missing the Gold Cup. He won a Gold Cup and plenty of top races for them, was off for 2 years and got 2nd in the Argento, they should be happy with that from a 12 yo.

That said he might be well enough treated/ retain enough ability to win a few nice pots.

Mark dependant he could well be entered in something like The Hennessy and might be worth an ew squeak if Brennan is back on board

Plenty of rain expected.

The Ol Jonjo Jockey Switcharoo could be on for the 2.30 at uttoxeter have stuck money on the two that mccoy doesnt ride:D

UrbanSea · 17-10-2013 11:57AM

Threw just a fiver each way on Baily Dusk at Punchestown in the wide open 3 mile handicap chase. Was good enough to win a maiden hurdle two years ago and whilst he has been bitterly disappointing since, he has hinted on occasions that a big run could be in him. Runs off 86 with a good three pound claimer hopefully he can show some improvement today. Hopefully the well handicapped Westlife doesn't show up at a price

sting60 · 17-10-2013 12:59PM

Bendala Bleu has a great chance today.

JONJO THE MISER · 17-10-2013 10:12PM

Nah its legit.
He tried to cash it in 4 years ago when he signed for Liverpool.

Man Utd vs Southampton market is a puzzler

Utd are 1.58. The main Asian line is a 1 goal line, Utd are odds against. I don't think I've ever seen a team as big as odds against -1 when they're 1.58 straight

Sporting supremacy mid point is 1.2 goals

Thought it could be due to a low goals expectation but sporting pitch goals at 2.9-3.1 and (as expected from that) over 2.5 is odds on

Weird one. One is wrong, just not sure which!
