Rubbish. Take the blinkers off.

Cyrname up to 178. 3 pounds higher than Altior.

Badabing · 19-02-2019 11:39am

Laurina declared tomorrow at Punchestown.

Racing TV said Blaklion was sold for £360k and will be trained by Phil Kirby. Surely that figure isn't true, mad money.

If it's true, Barry Connells advisor must be involved ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

You couldn't make it up, they can't help themselves over there with the ratings. I hope Paul Nicholls says something about it, he trains the horse and should know.

Who is the current handicapper anyways?

Dr. Bre · 19-02-2019 2:00pm

Is cyrname entrred in any races at Cheltenham ?

NaiveMelodies · 19-02-2019 2:08pm

Couple of people on twitter saying it's fair as Altior only beats trees etc.. first of all thats bollix, secondly if Altior ran on Sat, there's a 0% chance all those horses would have lined up.

I expect the handicapper to be equally as dramatic in his assessment if/when Cyrname blows up in the next few months.

19-02-2019 2:33pm

Ratings aren't a measure of a horses career. If you win 17 races in a row running to a rating of 175 your rating is ... 175.

If you are a 7 year old chaser (ie still going upwards) and you win a single race running to a rating of 178, your rating is 178.

That's the way it works. His rating will go down (slower than it went up) if he doesn't back it up.

The handicapper didn't really have a choice based on the horses in behind and the fact that he beat them hollow.

BumperD · 19-02-2019 2:36pm

Horses running to these levels rarely last. They over exert

Entered in the Ryanair AFAIK but thought I heard the camp say Cheltenham is 100% not a target now but definitely for the future.

madmoose · 19-02-2019 7:54pm

He’s not in the Ryanair and would need to be supplemented.

Cyname rating an absolute farce it was the same last year when Bristol De Mai was inflated because he won at his beloved Haydock in a bog.

Unfortunately with the way ratings are they had no choice as they are saying all horses in behind cyrname ran to there rating, but I see where your coming from and in my opinion, waiting patiently could easily have ran a stone shy of his rating, he was getting niggled far earlier than ever before.
Politologue ran poorly in king George and could have ran to a similar level, charbel is charbel.
The time was excellent tho, but again it was like a time trial he dictated everything and had no pressure applied.

Supplement? He ran a stinker the last day but if he wasn’t right, surely worth an entry unless Penhill flying at home

Gringo180 · 20-02-2019 8:14pm

Stick him in the Coral Cup.

Where is the best place to get a pint lads? I have club tickets for the Tuesday.
I was tortured on the Saturday in November.

All bars crowded but worst time is just after a race, best just before the off as long as you don’t miss it. If you found November bad this will be no better

Is that the one under Club? It was a shambles last year... staff barely knew how to pull a pint or to count change - and I am not exaggerating.

Best place by far is in the Sales ring by the entrance
4 sided bar, indoors, has plenty of seats and is not too obvious to the average punter.

Ya, that's the centour, great spot and very good after racing as a band play for about 40 minutes.

No its opposite the centaur,
Its the place where the horses are sold on the way down to the finishing post

Elbowing someone in that environment could land you an elbow back some day !

carq · 27-02-2019 9:53am

What is everyone's schedule like on the day ?

Typically i would spend most of is in a bar somewhere, hop out for the odd race.
Have a sit down in the centaur,

Get a pork roll or a pizza mid way through the day.

Get there early and walk the track (not the whole thing!) We often get to have a chat with a jockey/trainer

Get a few Guinness in before the first, I watch most races in the stand or out at the rail.

And ya, pork rolls, I live on them for the few days!!

BumperD · 27-02-2019 11:26am

Pork bap with stuffing is my mid day food each day, they are really tasty, I should have shares in that van behind club at this stage

Pretty much the same, hit centaur each morning to do the place pot, watch some replays before taking a walk about the enclose. Sprintre sacre is in parade ring this year on day 2 I think with the annual parade of old heroes. Shopping village is good for a look

Was only there Gold Cup day myself and it was horrible to say the least!

PhuckHugh2 · 01-03-2019 4:36pm

That Emitom is going to be some horse next year.

RivetingRoger · 01-03-2019 4:40pm

RTV commentator called a different race! Had emitom behind in last furlong when it was a length in front!

Not half as nice as Passageway unfortunately, his half brother by Califet(just turned 4) we have looks a lovely horse. He is down with Colin Bowe and will probably run in a P2P in the second half of this year.

This lad won today at Doncaster, Erne River by Califet. We sold him after he won a P2P for Colin Bowe. I thought he pulled his chance away early on but did it nicely in the end and looks a nice enough prospect.

Punchestown festival grade 1 entries were confirmed today. No Faugheen or Douvan unfortunately but still some outstanding races. The likes of Honeysuckle, Put the Kettle On, Minella Indo and Flooring Porter and that’s not including the likes of Energumene, Envoi Allen and Shishkin also among the horses that have been entered for the various races for the Punchestown festival which gets underway on Tuesday 27th April.
