personally think its a very good trial horses that win or place generally go on to run very good races at the festival. Just think he's gone bit mad buying horses for them prices tbh.

You're right woodworm. From the last 10yrs, cinders and ashes had the latest prep run which was 21st jan.
AL FEROF,S prep run was in mid feb |
|
By:
I meant latest in terms of number of days off the track - probably worded wrong. Before last year, last 10 winners had run in past 45 days.

Captain Cee Bee was off for 115 days before his Supreme Novices win.

re pique sous.there waiting for better ground for him to run. price very fair at mo imo.
|

By:
Do you know whether the Supreme is the plan, spotthedifference?
|
|
By:
Keep shortening Jezki keep shortening
 Shorter he get's the bigger my free bet when I lay off my stake. |
|
By:

|
|
By:

Has any one heard of whistling gallery`s target at cheltenham if any
|
|
By:
Sorry meant whispering gallery any info welcome
|

By:
Slabster you are correct - racing post book has it incorrect!!
|

By:
I'm still waiting to lay Jezki off, don't like horses who haven't run within 2 months of the festival so the decision to go straight there has really annoyed me
|
|
By:
Agree bluebird on at decent prices and topped up, will be laying some back closer to race,stats very bad for not running within x amount of days before.
|
|
By:
Cheers Supersam.

By:
Waaheb's price has more than doubled in the last day or so, whilst My Tent or Yours has come right in.
Me thinks a decision has been made and JP will have 2 runners. |
|
By:
Was thinking the same well chief
 gutted if true as have a good few quid invested on Waaheb |
|
By:
Wonder if Ned Buntline and Snake Eyes will run? I'd say he'll have 3 runners possibly.
|
|
By:
I had a small bet when he was 14's, so would be a bit gutted too (less than a tenner though, so not the end of the world).
FWIW I think 2.5 would be perfect for him, and I'd see him running a big race in the Neptune, although I have no idea whether he'd even be entered (from what I've seen I think he'd stay the extra distance). I think a bit like Simonsig last year, going that little bit slower would help his jumping because he has made a few errors in his couple of runs over hurdles. |
|
By:
I think Snake Eyes is deffo a handicap plot horse myself....
I'm not sure tbh. You might be right but haven't seen enough to suggest the further he goes the better. I still think a fast run 2m will suit him, although I take your point about his hurdling, certainly wasnt great last time. I have a leg of a horse with Weld and have been itching to ask him about Waaheb, but he hasn't run yet this season for me to go over and see him and try and extract a fe Cheltenham clues! |
|
By:
CCM, it's probably more that from what I've seen I think he might not quite be good enough over a top class 2m race, although that may be harsh after so little hurdle experience.
Being a top class bumper horse, they are normally upped in trip, and because I think it will be hard to reverse the form with Jezki, I see no reason why the Neptune shouldn't be on their radar, where he can use his 2m speed at the finish. |
|
By:
Not sure mate. I was at Limerick when he absolutely laughed at Cash and Go and had too much speed for him over 2m so I don't think he's slow. C&G looks a two miler, so still think Waaheb will be very effective at that trip. I believe Weld thinks he will be better on better ground, but the form doesn't really back that up yet, so a bit of guesswork for now.
It's a massive leap of faith, but I still don't think he's as far behind Jezki as the last run suggests. Just seemed to run a bit flat that day to me. |
|
By:
Very fair point mate. You've seen much more of him than me and are much more involved in the game, so you're probably right.
Hopefully he'll be able to fulfill the potential he showed as a bumper horse. |
|
By:
I don't think being more involved means that mate
 Fingers crossed anyway. Always more complicated when JP is involved as he and his team will decide who is going where. |
|
By:
Anyone think this horse will be any shorter, come the Supreme Hurdle hurdle day. Want to lay my bet, but because he's not scheduled to run before the supreme, do you think this horse will drift come March 12th.
|
|
By:
I'd say he will, My Tent or Yours and Un Atout will both most likely shortern plus anything else could run in the meantime. Can see Jezki going off at least 5/1
|
|
By:
If nothing comes out and impresses in the meantime he will still be 3/1 in the morning (though may get gambled in to 2/1ish).
If one or two others throw there hat into the ring (MTOY, Un Atout etc) then it could be 5/1 the field in the morning. Personally I've laid him off at 9/2. |
|
By:
think my tent will win the betfair then go off fav for the CH

By:
CH mean supreme loooool.
