A horse i have been waiting to see all season runs today in the bumper in Bangor and 21/20 looks massive for Malaher Lad.

Won his point to point finishing ahead of Belshill and Bordini both leading contenders for the Champion Bumper.

On McCain's stable tour on the morning line they asked Wilson Rennick about him and he said either aeroplane or machine i can't fully remember.

I have taken a small nibble on Saturday at 33/1 for the Champion Bumper he will shorten significantly if he wins well today.

The only problem is DONALD MCCAIN.

The question I'd ask is why didn't Mullins, Ricci or JP go for this one but yet it's reported Belshill and Bordini cost more than Malaher Lad.

And It has gone to McCain also, massive negative.

And the opening price was big if as good as taught. Pity meeting called off so still a waiting job with him.

Had a few on him for bumper, he can get some right for Chel

Andalucia · 19-01-2015 11:56pm

the placed horses will turn out to be the better horses from that pt to pt race.

Bellshill and Bordini both made mistakes which cost them any chance of winning, Mahler Lad just stayed on the best after that

The pt to pt scene will get some shock when Leslie stops signing cheques for McCain to waste his cash on these pt winners, apart from Peddlers Cross, he hasn't bought one decent horse - and once Maguire gets a few slaps into them trying to win any mickey mouse race, they're ruined for all time

He was hardly foot perfect at the last two either. I think he is worth a play at the prices.

Holywell in the Cleeve, he could be a right bet if he has the blinkers on.

Sir Des Champs had another setback, might make Punchestown but I wouldn't be hopeful of it. Not sure about Flemenstar.

I have watched that before I backed Belshill for the champion before he ran at Thurles to see what I was getting involved with. The bumper is wide open this year. And my bet on Belshill may be a non runner now by sounds of things.

When Mullins doesn't go for the winner, you gotta ask questions in all fairness!

A few firms priced him up

Think that anyone backing Champion Bumper at this stage needs their head examining. I was at this capper for years but said never again last year after I was promised Vigil would be a contendor, only to see the stable mate come home. Unless you have inside information its impossible to see an edge.

ste2010 · 20-01-2015 8:15am

Interesting Jonathan England takes the ride on work boy in the 1.40 at wetherby today as opposed to the Sue smith horse. Currently trading at 33-1 and as a course and distance winner is well below his last winning mark

nobody told me · 20-01-2015 8:19am

Backing a horse for the champion bumper on the back of a point win when now trained by DMC is madness. Was trained by Colin bowe as well so you can be sure he was primed to the minute for that day.

I see Long Run has been ruled out for the season: http://www.irish-racing.com/news?prid=107369&headline=Long-Run-out-for-season

NaiveMelodies · 20-01-2015 5:03pm

Think The Job is Right looks nicely weighted and prepped for the Thyestes on Thursday. Very good effort to fend off As De Ferbet on New Years Day less than a week after running a great race in the Paddy Power at Leopardstown. Foxrock has since franked the form of that race nicely.
This one's always been earmarked as a staying chaser and I'd imagine will get every yard in the mud on Thursday.
Happy enough to take 12s, once he's a confirmed runner.. hard to know which way the money will go but there's bound to be a McManus/Martin/Gigginstown gamble so might get bigger on the day.

madmoose · 20-01-2015 5:16pm

Ive already backed the job is right for the 4miler at 20/1 so hope he goes well thurs.

Yeah I remember Hourigan was considering going straight for the 4 miler last year but the horse would obviously be far better equipped this time around.
Some of his best hurdle form is on better ground so hopefully that wouldn't be an issue come March.

jkmanc1974 · 20-01-2015 5:47pm

Will be interesting to see the final decs for the bumper at Gowran on Thursday when they are finalised tomorrow......looking forward to it....

jimjamcos · 20-01-2015 10:11pm

Well lads, after 2 seasons of bickering about the merit of his form on here, we're finally going to see what the beast UDS is made of against quality in Gilgamboa and Clarcam this Sunday. I'm confident/hopeful he'll live up to expectations and fully justify my 22/1 about him for 2014 Champion Hurdle, lol

Meath Centre Forward · 20-01-2015 10:26pm

I don't see what's wrong with backing a horse for the Bumper now. Yeah there are loads of unknowns but to be honest, come the day of the race, there are still loads of unknowns. If you've been impressed by one, then no reason not to back it. For me, Supasundae is very well related to several Group 1 winners of John Gosden's on the flat and smashed a fair few previous winners to pieces at Ascot. I hear he's with Henry De Bromhead now and he's said he's training him for the race. He's bred for the flat fair enough but he looks a horse for the future.

Peintre Celebre · 20-01-2015 11:06pm

Had my first bet for the festival. Think Un Temps Pour Tout was a really promising novice and took 20/1 for the World before he runs in what isn't the strongest looking Cleeve. He'll probably need the run but the World is wide open and thought 20/1 was a bit too big.

DylanAFC · 20-01-2015 11:43pm

How many bets will people on here have before the festival? Myself, I try to stay clear from all ante post betting unless I have a very good reason to do so. Too many variables for my wee brain to deal with to be backing ante post.

Indeed! A big race for the forum...

If he demolishes the field I think I'll admit they should have gone for the Champion Hurdle...:pac:

It's ok lads I only have €5 on him, could be quick €165 or a minor minor minor loss. :cool:

You'd swear there was something funny going on and that the bigger priced horse couldn't win from the same stable, Vigil was the big plunge of the race so he was obviously fancied.
