Like and share a post the winner would get a 152 TT for the weekend. 9 thousand likes to 39 in a few days, they deleted the original post. Called a winner by the name of May Lydon as the winner yet no one named that had liked the page. They then made a fake page by the name of that person who worked at Audi Ireland with a fella's profile photo and they kept digging a hole saying something like that was her son for her to contact them:pac::pac:

Caught out. An 8 year old would have done a better job. Picked up by joe.ie and her.ie

Sounds like a right cock up

Peintre Celebre · 02-08-2015 10:29AM

Such a crowd of handicaps good enough for them. Any sense they'd have at least got some person they knew to win get a photo and all. Facebook page hounded with abus

Peintre Celebre · 02-08-2015 10:36AM

A week where we lost a great commentator it's nearly insulting to think someone like Tommo is doing the same job. Got a rating of 137 after this (same as STS and Frankel's three year old season) Possibly one of the most under rated race horses ever along with Generous

Edit just look at the way he quickens two furlongs out. What a turn of foot

BumperD · 02-08-2015 10:48AM

Even more so about a half furlong out, switching up another gear. Edit at 2:35

Peintre Celebre · 02-08-2015 10:52AM

He literally put about 5 lengths between himself and the field in a few strides absolutely unbelievabe

Peintre Celebre · 02-08-2015 10:53AM

Nureyev was some stallion quite under rated(prob cos he stood in the US). Peintre Celebre never quite got the recognition he deserved despite a truck load of gr.1 winners. He is a serious broodmare sire, he gets very tough ones love genuine horses

BumperD · 02-08-2015 10:56AM

I love a horse that can accelerate twice or more in a race rather than one long burst. Peintre Célèbre, Sea the Stars and Treve could do, along with many more. They can find their way out of trouble when others will get checked and never get back into a race.

Just a bit of publicity load of likes on their FB. You would think Audi's would sell themselves anyway without a few people liking their page. It fairly backfired they look like clowns now

Please god a filly that really caught the eye last time and should run well at a unique track that will be bottomless ground. Did anyone see the clowns in Audi galway that put up a fake competition and were caught out

I'm about 90% sure I can guess the horse you speak of.

Sirtoyou · 02-08-2015 08:17PM

Absolutely chucking it down in Cork atm if that makes any difference to the selections.

Peintre Celebre · 03-08-2015 12:06PM

On another note, downloaded the new AtTheRaces app the other day, quite impressed with it - great to be able to watch race replays on the phone

Geraghty not riding put me off. I'd be amazed if he wasn't better than a rating of 95 but with those colours you can never back it without knowing it's off

Hopefully, the ground is going to absolutely bottomless she will love it off a nice weight and should be a good price
