As have I at 110/1 so I'm very interested in his next run. Hopefully it's over 2m4f
|

By:
got him in both novices,but aint got anything else in the Neptune,so i would be quiet happy to see him in that,and i really think he will run in it if he does run at Chelt.

albion dan...glad someone looked at the link
 as for shot from the hip he looked all over a chaser imo when he went down/came back in for the bumper at cheltenham so whatever he manages this year im seeing as a bonus as over fences i suspect he could be quite special. was a comfortable win lto and sicialian secret/endless intrigue are both decent types,his next run will tell us lots more,for my money its just a good thing magnier isnt riding him now as there a re shall we say plenty better jockeys available and he didnt do the horse any favours in the cheltenham bumper. |

By:
should hopefully find out a lot more on Sunday!!
|
|
By:
Did I read right he is entered in the Albert Bartlett as well??
|
|
By:
Yeah he is. Very, very unlikely to go for that though. Just a keeping his options open thing.
But the fact he was even entered in it, says the Neptune is the most likely imo. |
|
By:
hope you right ccm
|
|
By:
me too mate!

|
By:
WATCH OUT for the new babies in the yard too.....
 Rigidity and (of obvious interest) Cash And Go [;)] |
|
By:
 Are you involved with him too?! |
|
By:
Best of luck to them (and 'Santry' too
) |
|
By:
Would love him in the Neptune, I'm on at 110's
 |
|
By:
CAN WE PLEASE STFU ABOUT THE NEPTUNE PLEASE!!!
|
|
By:
anyone heard anymore on this one??
see he is now around 40 on here for supreme and Albert bartlett and double that for neptune!! grateful for any news cheers |
|
By:
Was supposed to run on Sunday, should still run in the rearranged race on Saturday at Leopardstown. Few in that race are neptune bound, Oscars Well, Old McDonald. I think Shot From the Hip is more likely to go for the Neptune if heading over. But who knows or sure really.
|
|
By:
Just had a bit on Old mcdonald for the AB!!
CV,how sure you about SFTH mate,as he is out to 80 on here. If he is more likely,have to have another go. Cant work out why the 2m and 3m race are half the price,weird. |
|
By:
60 now for neptune,just had a bit on at 65.
|
|
By:
Could be more the level of competition in the neptune. I don't know I haven't heard anything. I'd sit tight until after he runs on sat.
As for Old Macdonald my friends uncle owns and trains him, he really hasn't decided is he goes to chelts, he said the doilette would help decide. I think the AB would be the race for him though. Glynn says he's the best horse he'll ever have. Considering we're all on becauseicouldntsee for the national it's worth taking note. Anyway news on shot will come this weekend. |
|
By:
Thanks mate,interesting about old mac,they obviously think a lot of him.
This weekend is certainly going to be pretty crucial as far as plans for Chelt are concerned. Hows the weather looking mate? |
|
By:
Clear blue skies outside. Bit of reason coming tonight though. It'll be soft ground on sat at least.
|
|
By:
Reason? Haha, rain. Bit of rain coming.
|
|
By:
snow,rain,this seasons been a right nightmare.
Really need this meeting to go ahead. Thanks CV. |
|
By:
Will YOUR baby win today ?
(Piv. Rock in the forecast) |
|
By:
hopefully nice run today from SFTH,and then decision will be made on his target,gut feeling is the neptune,hope so!!
|
|
By:
traded out on most of neptune so hoping goes for supreme. think could be todays big winner at leopardstown
|
|
By:
Thoughts on todays run? I think he travelled up quite nicely before tiring badly. Drop back to 2m, and better ground and he could still be a player in the supreme?!
|
|
By:
my feeling is they may well step him up to the AB over 3m.His breeding suggests that he could need further.
yes He did not get home,but maybe that was due to going quicker during the race,and the winner is bl00dy good by the looks of it!! He travelled well but lacked pace at the business end,gut feeling after watching that is he is a stayer. If ground came up really soft then Neptune could be the race for him,decent ground i think now it will be AB. |
|
By:
Yep travelled well Dan. Looks like the drop back to 2m would suit. Not sure he wants good ground though.
|
|
By:
hope your 2's take on it is right,backed him in Supreme as well as Neptune.
should i go in for the AB,in case i am right?? antepost betting eh!! |
|
By:
Alot will depend on the rest of JP's runners, but having backed him in the Neptune myself, I was a bit disappointed.
I think I'd say the Supreme looks the best race after that. |
|
By:
Agree Supreme if anything, was impressed with the way he moved up to challenge. Reckon he was left a little short by his trainer myself, hence the way he ran, wasn't on course to back that up though. Still think the jury is out on the ground, needs to be given a proper chance to show that he doesn't go on it. Definitely Supreme though if they are worried about the ground.
|
|
By:
The opposite Ben. Had him spot on for last weekend, and if anything did a bit much imo.
|
|
By:
Not so sure, he was talking about the Supreme before he made his debut over hurdles. Given the owner obviously likes to target the festival I feel he must have left something off. If you compare his hurdles debut to this run they were quite similar.
|
|
By:
Oh definitely. Sure he wont be at his peak until the middle of March. But think he may have run better last weekend than this. The rearranged fixtures must be really hard for trainers to deal with.
At the end of the day, I'd trust EOG to have him spot on for the main event |
|
By:
Yeah it's not been easy for them this winter, have to run in them though to get them spot on for the main event!
|
|
By:
Yep! I think antepost betting has been harder than ever as a result though. I think there will be alot of horses we havent seen the best of this season, who could come right at the Festival. Alot more questions marks and more of the unknown than previous years.
As if it wasnt hard enough already  |
|
By:
Certainly is, this new novice race is causing me all sorts of headaches too. Like Noble Prince for the Arkle but his owner's Dad owns Realt Dubh so they are going to take in the new race instead (which may suit more but I think he'd beat RD in the Arkle given the ground). Have now come round to Wishful Thinking for the new race but will they go for the RSA because of Captain Chris (and prestige) even though he hasn't really looked a 3 miler! Impossible to second guess connections
 |
|
By:
Yeah I've done a few quid on Noble prince for the Arkle. Was my main AP bet
 Think its the perfect race for him.Had to get involved for the new race now and 8/1 seems decent enough. |
|
By:
I'm holding out for McManus coming in with a bid, think that's the only chance we've got
