Any news regarding More Of That?

Thanks for that. Not that many opportunities for another run without leaving time for building up the energy stores for the world hurdle but glad to see he's well.

Swerving Big Buck's?

deplorable firm - horse is second fav for a championship race and trading at 30 on here yet no word from this rancid crew

sums it up really

They said last week that they would see how At Fishers Cross got on. He obviously did ok so More of That won't go to the World.

They must be cursing their luck that AFC has been useless for the early part of the season and More of they had to find out just how good more of that was and therefore was allowed to run the races he did.......he could have been a 140 horse now and all primed for the martin pipe or something.

i'd probably say, they are cursing, blowing the horses novice status last year when an unfancied 20-1 chance in a folkestone novice...they did win a nice handicap pot at haddock but he is certainly looking a nice horse in his 4 starts

doesn't look good though...just would like to know whats wrong with it...

surely he wouldn't run him off 160 in the coral cup he is a graded horse...anyway not looking good

at last some sense^

no he wasn't quoted but had only won a handicap off of 137...

being honest i had him put on here for the world hurdle before his chelt run...but he wasn't quoted by the books before the chelt race, i just liked him and thought the race was wide open at the time and he was a speculative one

ah apologies ye ridiculous really, he should of be a 9-10/1 shot on what he has done so far but suppose the race lacks depth but still a poor price...anyway i haven't backed it just wouldn't mind knowing what is going on with the horse

like so many races you just can't form a book...am finding it a thankless task at the moment, very frustrating

They may be right but he's had plenty more chances to show his worth, he's still rated a 3lbs inferior animal despite MOT only racing four times and being a year younger and AFC's form all being on soft or worse ground. Those back and other issues are hardly likely to be assisted if it comes up decent ground for the festival.

Reading between the lines I think More of That could be quite a fragile animal and Jonjo seems desperate to take it very slowly with him. I get the impression that he doesn't think a championship 3 mile race is the best thing for him at this stage of his career and was probably relieved when At Fishers Cross bounced back somewhat at the weekend so the owners would be more willing to let him take his time.

Just looked hardly any left to lay.

Given the open nature of the race this year, Big Buck's vulnerability and Annie possibly going for the champion I'd be more than happy to have the likely second and third favourites. I wouldn't be taking one out.

At Fishers Cross will improve for better ground? The trainer has been suggesting the opposite so far this season.

I watched the cleeve for the first time today and its my opinion that the jockey got BB beat! He did too much too early for me especially between 3 out and the last. He will come on bundles for the run and i am sure STD will be fully aware of how he rode and wont make the same mistake i think he did. As long as we're on the same wave length lol

Annie Power aside, gonna take a good un to lower BB's colours! Thinking about even backing just the two in this race, and dutching the top two at current prices nrnb! Can get 9/4 and 11/4 nrnb so obviously odds on coupled but cant see whats gonna beat them

I would never trust a word miss curtis quotes. She is in that mould, owned by the irish.

Maybe they are contemplating a different route or have a small problem with horse, they could be waiting to see how things go, maybe trainers want to go one route, connections another, or maybe the work rider did a bad piece of work on it, yard hands seen it and told their mates in the pub? who knows? your guessing and accusing people of different things here.

Because we are members of a betting exchange we should be privy to all information that goes on in a racing yard, between stable staff, managers , owners and trainers?

people moaning about Mullins too why doesn't he tell us what races he is going for etc?

Because he doesn't probably know for 100% sure himself, these things take a lot of time its not like he has just the 3 horses in the stable all with the same owner and he can phone sky news to tell them what they discussed or what goes on in the yard.

Interesting article from Lydia much of which I agree with. The cheek pieces for At Fisher's Cross was an aspect which there hasn't been much comment on. It does take a leap of faith to argue that Knockara put up a career best performance but if she's right at Buck's running to 160 then it does make the race a little easier to explain. At Fisher's running to about 157 which is his mark but Knockara at around 153 does stretch credibility a little.

I wouldn't be in the least worried about MOT's age. He's the same age as Annie Power and plenty of winners. Six is an ideal age. The experience angle is a concern but given the horses rating of 160 where else can he go and given that if Annie goes the champion hurdle route and he could end up second top rated against Big Buck's with questions against one is tempted to ask why not?

Lydia poses interesting questions regarding Annie and 3 miles. The fact is she's never been that far. She may well stay. She does appear to have the speed for the champion. Logic says you take your chance in whatever is deemed the best race but if that was the case we would have seen Quevega in a stayers before now.
