where did you see him?
|
|
By:
fairyhouse in a bumper terrific performance
|
|
By:
very impressive.
On Waaheb in this though, have been for a while. Think Simonsig could end up in the longer one? |
|
By:
who owns Simonsig?
|
|
By:
What race for Dandino?
|
|
By:
Think i will wait till i have seen them jump a hurdle before i get involved
|
|
By:
V impressive that day, but looks a stayer (not a plodder) to me.
|
|
By:
Waheeb??has an Elusive Quality even gone jumping before?
 |
|

Was going through some bumper races and form the other day when I ended up watching Simonsig's demolition of the field at Punchestown. He was very impressive and easy on the eye that day. Loved how he cruised round the turn on the bridle and galloped to the line.
Must say though that I think he might want a bit more of a trip, and I see the Neptune as a possible long term target. I can see Fourth Estate being the stable's Supreme Novice candidate, but would be interested to hear others thoughts |
|
By:
Is Simonsig the one that won the Leary bumper at Punchy?? Ie he offered to buy it.
|
|
By:
That's the one. £100,000 was offered, but the owner said he'd have to put another 0 on the end
|
|
By:
...and now with Henderson?? Exciting!
|
|
By:
why isnt he in the betting for much at present?
|
|
By:
woooow this is exciting news glad he's in good hands.
|
|
By:
Howdi, no neptune betting yet and i think that may be his more obvious target.
|
|
By:
whats NH's record in the neptune like? ;)
|
|
By:
never won it
|
|
By:
carver ive got neptune betting on oddschecker
|
|
By:
Not quoted Howdi? I was forgetting there was a world outside BF!
|
|
By:
 hiya carver i was surprised he wasnt quoted. 12-1 the horse thast beat cheltenian |
|
By:
Looks a nice horse but I'd be surprised if he has the toe for the Supreme. I like Fourth Estate and Waaheb
|
|
By:
now in the bettings on oddschecker
|
|
By:
Like Waaheb to MM..
|
|
By:
If anyone ever gets to see his Limavady win then that is a demolition job and I know myself and plenty of others were up early for the 4's for Punchestown - was a procession.
|
|
By:
I only got the 7/2 Princesse. You'd have the be up before the milkman to catch ye lads out
 !! It's hard to gauge how good he could be but his performance in Limavady was unique. I've seen plenty of good horses but never a performance like that!! |
|
By:
Agree - there were plenty in behind with rock solid form that day, wouldn't be surprised to see 2 or 3 of them competing in the big handicaps in a couple of years time.
Cracking horse and hope he does well for Henderson - Bartlett paid a lot of money for him after Limavady so I hope he's rewarded with success with this fellow. |
|
By:
I too, really like the look of this horse.
There is a picture of Henderson discussing him at his open day. Can anyone find any quotes or a vid of the open day, possibly around what trips he will run over? I'm more inclined to have a small punt at 25's in the Neptune than take the 33's in the Supreme. After he bolts up in his first run, he'll probably shorten massively anyway because of the connections, so can always lay off at a shorter price later in the season |
|
By:
With you on that one Well Chief..
|
|
By:
I think he'll be a Neptune horse, Waaheb is one to have onside for the Supreme, there is a history of an Irish speed horse that the English staying types avoid and I'd say Waaheb is going to be that horse this year.
|
|
By:
First run for Nicky tomorrow..will be unbackable but worth the watch. Hard to believe he will come back to 2 miles....winning pointer over 3 on soft ground but very interesting for the Neptune or Bartlett.
|
|
By:
I think he is a stayer but i think they started Sprinter (confirmed 2 miler) in that race last yr.
|
|
By:
RC, he would be some sort of a tool if he could win a championship race as a 6YO over 2 miles having started out in a 3 mile soft ground point! He was very impressive in his bumper but it was 2 miles 2 furlongs and it was against other pointers.
|
|
By:
cant wait to see him tommorow this horse is an absolute monster reminds me of a much quicker iris gift very intresting that he starts off in the same race sprinter sacre ran in too! .his performance at fairyhouse was extradionery the speed he showed there was frighneing ive backed him for almost every race possible champion hurdle included
|
|
By:
Champion Hurdle??! Wat price u get for that
|
|
By:
Is the owner the sponsor of the 3mile novices race ?
Genuine question btw |
|
By:
I think im right in saying that the owners grandad is the Albert Bartlett??
In which case if the horse turns out as good as many are saying and considering its won points over 3m i can see that race being the aim. |
|
By:
Given the 75 available right now for the Supreme it doesn't look like this one is bound for the 2 miler !
|
|
By:
this horse is gorgeous,i saw him about 5weeks ago .looking forward to watching him and his career
|
|
By:
No answer, ok cheers
I hope u got 1,000,000,000/1+ for the champion and at that you'd stil have poor value |
