He is around 10lb well in over 2 miles with a decent pace.

By:
i make him about 40lb well in, the only thing that would put me off backing him is that hes always been about 40lb well in but couldnt ever do anything with it

He would not been winning out of turn.

By:
I agree with you there TradeFair!
If he won the Donkey Derby on Blackpool Beach it would be a result! |
|
By:
he surely wouldnt

Please excuse my reference to Blackpool Beach, as I've only just been pointed to Joist's 'Claudia Interview' - which was brilliant, thus making further comparisons to 'donkeys' redundant.

Firstly to clear up a few earlier posts Washington Irvine was 5th in the Epson Derby not 4th. Now clearly it was not a vintage renewal as only one other horse has gone on to jump a hurdle. The 16th Maidstone Mixture has a rating of 110 over hurdles so on a literal formline through the Epson race Washington Irvine is capable of a rating of around 193 over hurdles. That makes him 63lbs well in off his current mark. Now as any seasoned handicapper will tell you, you must allow 16% margin of error when converting literal flat form with hurdle form so he is at least 53lbs well in. 50/1 for the County might be value.

 Bookiebasher was another tool who kept spamming the forum, but it was in the days where threads got lost off the bottom thanks to his stupid threads. No longer around, luckily! I must admit, I'd love Washington Irvine to hose up at Cheltenham, would be fantastic scenes on here! |

Joist, I'd love the old Washing Machine to 'hose up on the birdle' too! Mainly because I too have 'followed him over a cliff' from the off - as I kept thinking (just like TradeFair) that he was so 'well in' he was a 'cert'.
I just felt fortunate last week that I didn't spot him in the race last week - when he ran off to the chip van for his nosh! Your xtranormal video was one of the best I've ever seen. I watched it 3 times on the bounce. Go Washing Machine! |

stick a few calgon tabs in his food back, will win the CH/GC doing hand stands NAP!
|
|
By:
Excellent!
Go Calgon! |

By:
He is a Montjeu so any win for Hurricane Fly etc would make the 50/1 for the county look a bit better.

Lets not forget Arcalis ran a massive race in the County last year. Just a pity for connections that Denis O'Regan was feeling massive too....
