Change that thread title to snapchatters anonymous

hucklebuck · 09-02-2014 02:29PM

Rename the thread Plinth me bollix?

BumperD · 09-02-2014 02:43PM

Now he's a horse worthy of a thread named after him.

Feck Golantilla, 'The Last Instalment' is the way to go, with 'Shmokin Mossey Joe $$$' a close second!

BumperD · 09-02-2014 02:59PM

Smoking Mossey Joe for President.

Last Instalment and ballaycasey, twas a good day for the antepost bets. A lot of good angles this year with the NRNB and best odds guaranteed coming in on the 5 races so early

Colonel Sanders · 09-02-2014 09:48PM

Cillians Return is now technically favourite for the bumper. His best price is shortest of any horse quoted (NB bet365 the only ones quoting him at 7/1). They make Black Hercules their 6/1 favourite but others are as big as 8/1

BumperD · 09-02-2014 10:29PM

Wouldn't be surprised if Vigil has new colours for his next run. He needs good ground to show his best - could be the one for weld to finally break his cheltenham duck?

jimjamcos · 09-02-2014 10:30PM

Discussing other bumper horses on the Mr Golantilla thread should result in a strict ban!

BumperD · 09-02-2014 10:31PM

haha :pac:

I'd say Golantilla is very likely to go off fav provided he wins his prep. Obviously only one of the Mullins ones will go, so one will shorten too. Was impressed by Vigil, McNamara rode it like it was a complete machine

I see Andy Lynch is heading to Ayr tomorrow for the one ride on a Crawford trained filly in a maiden hurdle.

A bit strange considering crawfords son(or whatever he is to the trainer) is also there and has a few rides on the same card.

She has some average form on the flat when trained for Weld and Crawford is well capable of getting 1 ready. She also gets 17lbs from all the likely dangers.

Will be interesting to see what she opens at. Forecast price 10/1 on the Irish racing app.

** actually he is over for 2 rides riding Mister First in the main race who would also warrant respect and would probably be his main ride.
Presumably the lad of the crawfords can't do 10stone.

***nothing to see here

Thread should be renamed Sir Last Installment for all the people holding crazy 50-1 dockets

Weld has had festival winners. Rare Holiday and General Assembly were 2 he trained for Smurfit. Could have been more

BumperD · 10-02-2014 11:26PM

Ya, I got corrected on the bumper thread!! Found rare holiday, didn't know about the other.

Rare Holiday is his only Cheltenham winner as far as I can find.

Rare Holiday is his one and only

Colonel Sanders · 11-02-2014 12:07PM

He's had a few placed horses as well as rare Holiday alright

Some of his have been the subject of savage gambles too over the years

BumperD · 11-02-2014 12:50PM

Safe to say its sums up how hard it is to win at Cheltenham when Weld hasn't bagged a winner in 20 yrs.

UrbanSea · 11-02-2014 02:53PM

Think there is a good gamble to come Thursday night at Kempton. Horse been running over the wrong trip, down over a stone since September. Finally back to a trip he has won four times over. Will be getting on early :cool:

carpothepunk · 11-02-2014 03:52PM

Layla Joan, who I put yous onto around Christmas, just got her hattrick up and seems to be well ahead of the assessor still.

Adebayor (6) is now 1/2 to be spurs top league scorer
Soldado (5) is 2nd fav at 7/4

UrbanSea · 11-02-2014 07:25PM

That must have been the greatest 33/1 shot of all time. My VC was locked at the time I am absolutely bulling would have had a ton on it
