    Spent 10 minutes looking at the card and went for value for the daydream fuel:

    140pm Blanketontheground 33/1 [now 50/1], fairly consistent dunno why it's so big.

    210pm Moyhenna 13/2 [now 6/1] great form last year, hope he can recapture it, price seems generous if so.

    240pm Johnny little legs 11/4 [now 5/2] good performance LTO, my "banker" of the bet.

    310pm Cutthemustard 8/1, hopefully can reverse form with fav at a decent price for a Mullins/Townend horse

    340pm Kavanagh's Corner 13/2 [now 7/1] consistent sort

    410pm Thermistocoles 7/1 [now 10/1] Joseph horse drifting like a barge, 3rd LTO

    €0.10c e/w Heinz as I could do with the €108k right now.

    I would thread cautiously enough before backing him. It looks competitive.

    It is it's 4th run in a maiden hurdle and the last run looked too bad to be true. My biggest worry would be that given the enthusiasm the syndicate have for backing the horse it has a big enough price this morning. They could be targeting a spring or summer handicap at this stage.

    Faikera, Nero Rock, Ran Rite, Ruinous, Politess and at a stretch Blanketontheground, neither of these would surprise me if they got involved.

    All things considered you could find a better 6/1 shot around. Just my 10 cents. I didn't go to rock and I don't know any of the syndicate so I don't know anything about the horse, but on paper I don't see the value.

    I would lay the favourite all things considered.

    Social distancing my a**e.

    I’m a racing fan, but really, this has to end. Now. There’s absolutely NO justification in continuing racing.

    Give them a ring there and see what they say.

    Or write them a letter maybe.

    Blanketontheground - was v well backed into about 7 or 8/1, ran about 6 wide the whole way round which ruined its chance.


    Moyhenna - faded to finish 4th like a good e/w bet


    Johnny little legs - poor


    Cutthemustard - nailed on 2nd at least b4 falling at last


    Kavanagh's Corner - started way out the back, sliced through the field and then just didn't have any extra when required at the end


    Thermistocoles- was 12/1 last time I checked, didnt even watch the race as bet was dead. Wins at 9/1

    Look at the posting history of this wan. Persistent and constant moaner/complainer. Awful life I'd say, with little joy in it. Hopefully they pull through.

    I think you misunderstood my post. I understand the importance of getting a horse race fit and it needing to race when fit.

    However, watching the racing from Thurles, I could see a few groups of 2 or 3 people standing together. Ignoring social distancing. There was outrage after groups of people were out and about on beaches, etc on Sunday. What’s more important? Lives or sport?

    Sport, especially racing, get a grip.

    I respect that you are probably concerned over the virus. It is understandable. But posting self righteous conceited high moral ground tripe on this forum will not wash, at all. 3 people standing in the middle of Tipperary having a chat at a racetrack does not a global pandemic make, you know this is true?

    Maybe you do care about the industry, maybe you don't. What are you hoping to achieve posting here? I posted earlier, if you have an issue take it up with the HRI.

    Otherwise kindly etc etc.

    To be honest, if your understanding of all of this is thinking that it boils down to needing a horse to race because they’re fit then you’re wrong.

    Bills need to be paid, staff need to be paid and yards need to keep their head above water. There are so many yards barely treading water as it is you wouldn’t believe it. The industry is on its knees and calling a halt altogether would be catastrophic. Absolutely all precautionary measures are being taken. Jockeys aren’t even going in to the weighing room they’re sitting in their cars between races.

    Those “groups” of 2 or 3 people standing around chatting i can’t comment on because I didn’t see them but what I did see is an industry that’s doing its utmost to get on with a very difficult situation. The world can’t simply stop because of this virus, yes it’s deeply concerning but so is the thought of an industry that directly employs 30,000 people in this country simply shutting down meaning a large percentage of that 30,000 won’t return. That’s the reality. Holding racing at this time is safe, it’s the right decision and nobody will convince me otherwise.
