Thatnks CMIYC, I had some 25/1 with the books a few weeks ago for the totesport and buttons at 200 for the supreme.I don't bother having serious bets in £100,000 races.The form with dunraven is misleading. It was a slow run race and Dunraven got a soft lead.Anyway our has improved, John Quinn's horse weren't right last summer/autumn. It would be different in a fast run handicap as I've been saying all season.Hopefully the Supreme will also be fast run. He is a very slick jumper for a novice.

Just to report that Recession Proof has come out of the Totesport very well. he has put on all the weight he lost in the race. he will go for the Supreme now and will improve on his form at Newbury.He stays 2 1/2 miles so he should run all the way to the line.Good to soft would suit him fine but he handles anything except firm. he is in the County hurdle and only went up 3lbs for his Totesport win but probably wouldn't run there unless  a good reason turns up.
Report roobuck February 26, 2011 8:32 PM GMT
Only just seen this thread so would like to add my congrats to you PMT.

If RP only been put up 3lbs, is that not a very good reason to go for the County? Would have beaten framed horses further on better ground imho.
Cannot blame you for going for Supreme however.

Totesport Trophy winner Recession Proof is set to swerve the Paddy Power Imperial Cup on Saturday week and head straight to Cheltenham.

Connections had been considering a tilt at the Sandown race before the Festival, with a £75,000 bonus up for grabs from the sponsors if the winner should go on to success at any race at Cheltenham.

Trainer John Quinn said: "I think we'll bypass the Imperial Cup and run in the Supreme and if he ran well without winning, he'd probably run in the County Hurdle as well." [:o]
Report winnets1984 March 4, 2011 2:56 PM GMT
interesting NRNB punt for the county then. Available at 10s. Think he could perform up to scratch after what is bound to be a hotly contested Supreme??
Report pmt March 4, 2011 5:31 PM GMT
He would run in the county only if he was likely to win it.He might fall or get impeded early on for instance in the Supreme or he might finish beaten but close up to a highly rated winner. then we might think about it as he does recover quickly from his races.If you look at his flat form he has won with only 3 days between races but that is quite different to a Supreme Novices.I would imagine that if he came 2nd to Cue Card we would keep him to novice races at Aintree and Punchestown rather than finsh him for the season by running twice at Cheltenham. remember that he is very well handicapped on the flat for something like the Chester Cup.

Thanks CMIYC, he is on track for a return in February and will likely need his first run back.I think the Coral cup is more likely than the world hurdle but we gave him an entry in case it cuts up.Its possible we might run him on the polytrack instead of ascot and he wont be ready in time to defend his title in the totesport.He has only had 5 runs over hurdles and there is another handicap left in him , maybe Aintree if not the Coral.

We have a new horse called massini lotto who won a point to point in ireland last year hacking up from Hold Court who has won his two bumpers since then.he will be out in April and should win a decent bumper.

THIS WILL BRING A SMILE to your face (in Monaco Grin )

RoyalAcademy 22 Jan 12 12:15
Catch Me: Massini Lotto holds high rank on my list of unraced 4yo maiden winners from spring 2011. Although the dam has yet to throw anything of note she is an unraced half-sister to four hurdle winners.
Massini Lotto beat Hold Court (Philip Fenton for John Power and now with Evan Williams) by 2L at Athlacca in May and Hold Court has won two bumpers impressively since-only starts.
Massini Lotto’s handler was (and may still be?) Kieran Purcell and he rates well up there in my book. He spoke of the horse as bumper material after his victory and it's worth noting his two runs in points have been on good ground; Dr Massini's seem to be adaptable ground-wise.
If you are looking for further evidence to follow this horse it might come from the 2009 winner of this race being Al Ferof!
