Either way both look outstanding prospects, and if Bishopsfurze ever learned to hurdle properly he would be another great prospect
|
|
By:
Hopefully Zaidpour hacks up on Saturday and sticks to the Supreme leaving the Neptune as a penalty kick for So Young
|
|
By:
Supreme it is for Zaidpour then,hate to say,but 'i told you so'
|
|
By:
Never in doubt that was his target.
2.5pts @ 8/1 is now my play in the Supreme.  |
|
By:
Wrong race then if that's the case
 |
|
By:
Has it been confirmed about Zaidepour going to Supreme?
|
|
By:
nope,not that i have seen.
Dont matter anyway,Cue Card looks better(his form certainly does anyway) and Sprinter Sacre is a proper 2 miler,one of those will win imo |
|
By:
its on the racing post website supreme is the target
|
|
By:
oh,had not noticed that,still as i said dont matter anyway.

Found it, thanks.

Mullins reveals festival plans for top novice pair
SO YOUNG is likely to be aimed at the Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival after an easy victory at Punchestown on Wednesday confirmed him as a horse with a big future. The Willie Mullins-trained five-year-old, who is 10-1 for the Neptune, is likely to be kept apart from stablemate Zaidpour, who the trainer said is set to be aimed at the SupremeNovices' Hurdle, for which he is 8-1. Zaidpour is set to run in Saturday's Deloitte Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown and Mullins said: "We'll keep our options open and see what happens on Saturday, but my feeling is So Young will go for the Neptune and Zaidpour will go for the Supreme." The news came after So Young marched to a five-length win over Big Game Hunter. Mullins added: "So Young shows more on the track than at home. It looked like he had plenty of gears there." A minute's silence was observed before the second race at Punchestown in memory of amateur rider Jack Tyner, who died on Monday after sustaining serious head injuries in a fall at a point-to-point at Dungarvan six days earlier. Riders, officials and trainers gathered in the centre of the parade ring for the tribute. All riders wore black armbands as a mark of respect. |

Fill in the Gaps please
Supreme Zaidpour ? Neptune Gagewell Flyer So Young Albert Raptor ? |
|
By:
So Young looked the business to me.
Foolishly I have had a decent bet on him at 10s for the Neptune (foolish = Zaidpour fluffing his lines on Saturday resulting in a switch of targets). |
|
By:
You just never know with Mullins - he has so many top class novice hurdle prosoects to juggle about with.
If Zaidpour dosen't win on Saturday the plans will all get shuffled about. If it was really genuinely soft/heavy for the first day (unlikely I know but it's got to happen one year) then So Young could be better off in the Supreme? |
|
By:
yeah agree Dark D lets pray ZAIPOUR canters in :) ive bkd thn both Zaipour @ 40/1 supreme and so young 15's and 10's neptunes [:D]

Uncle
As stated on many threads by me (you must be sick of reading them!) I see Cue Card as the most solid favourite for a novice event in many years. I believe that in a "toss the coin" situation between the Supreme and the Neptune most trainers will opt to avoid taking on a 159 rated horse with winning festival form (there - I did it again ). |
|
By:
DD - can't fault you for effort
I'm on So Young at 20's for the Neptune and have him in shedloads of doubles, trebles and accas including some that need Cue Card to win the Supreme  .I still maintain that on genuinely very soft rain sodden ground So Young would be the one Cue Card has to beat in the Supreme. Lets hope Zaynar wind s nicely on Saturday and we get the normal good to soft conditions - then everyone runs where they should and there are no excuses |

Are we all getting stuck into the mean lean pink flying machine tomorrow then..Just seen hes still 11/8 with Billys..Getting towards 11/10 on here i can see him going off 4/6..Have a feeling even the Mullins stable cat will be on this 1 tomorrow..
|
|
By:
11/8 is massive, will go off 4/7 imo
|
|
By:
woof woof
|
|
By:
The NEPTUNE is the right race for him [;)]
|
|
By:
What excuses are you making today Eric?
|
|
By:
Ordinary. Very ordinary. The Irish assault on this year's festival is pathetic!!
|
|
By:
And some people were saying cue card is too slow......needs further for sure
|
|
By:
Mullins couldnt tip sh it out of a wheelbarrow
|
|
By:
Going by the stand Paul had to give him a squeeze as he wasn't going the pace, the pace in the Neptune will suit, he should then hurdle better, he's bread to stay and looks to want further, looks pretty obvious what to do to me
|
|
By:
Nowhere near good enough at either trip IMO.
|
|
By:
The Zaidpour bubble has burst ..Neptune has to be the race now..Really thought he was going to cruise in today
 |
|
By:
That could be true DD but i don't see why the Supreme would suit better out of the 2
|
|
By:
Just not upto either for me
|
|
By:
Just looks very one paced and can't jump too well either - not a Cheltenham winner whatever race they choose.
|
|
By:
I fear So Young could be switched back to the Supreme. Hopefully he will be kept for the more winnable race. Time will tell.
|
|
By:
on at huge prices for the supreme,may as well bin them all,the horse fooled me,will probably be switched to the neptune now,but has no chance in either race,simply not good enough

FormMan- We can all be wrong about horses from time to time some of us tend not to mention this,it takes a brave man to put their hands up and acknowledge this.You have my upmost respect and i'm sure there will be plenty more sunny days ahead for you!all the best
|

By:
TheFormMan - A few weeks ago I remember you calling people, including myself, every name under the sun for daring to disagree with you that Zaidpour was the 2011 Supreme Novice Hurdle winner in waiting, and while I echo the comment above, im afraid you were a little too bullish, and far from being a brave man, you are in fact a complete d**k!! Now, p**s off back up Willie Mullins arse! Tata!
