allez columbieres

I wonder how many times we've heard this in the past. Having said that, Ricci spoke very highly of him in several interviews and of course comes with a big reputation achieving what he did in France. For anyone that hasn't seen its last win you can watch it here > http://vimeo.com/m/84329690

Patterson I agree,you here it every year with aiden obrien,ive heard this off 2 different people,Mark Howard,and someone who used to work for johnjo when he trained near me at Skelton,Ricci mentions the horse every time he is on tv,I'm on already,hopefully pay for my week and the pressure will be off !

Oh don't get me wrong mate, I too have invested a few weeks back after Ricci spoke to Matt Chapman on ATR. There's certainly nothing stood out for me in the trials so far from the home team. Even though we are yet to see Allez jump a hurdle, what we do know is that he is very highly thought of, is in the best hands possible and is trained/owned by the same men who won the race in 2013 and 2014.

Hurricane Fly wins his 20th G1 yesterday but this is the best they've ever had?

I am slightly worried that his three wins all came on very soft ground, and on his only run on decent ground he was pulled up. Maybe a coincidence, but enough to make me hold fire for the time being.

Anyone know when he will be starting out? The Supreme definitely the aim?

Deadmurph5,I agree with you,must be some horse !

Funny the things you hear, over the weekend I was told who their best novice hurdler is and the name was not Allez Colombieres

They have a number of novice hurdlers who could become top class, Allez C is definitely one of them.

Who did you hear Slabster?

Tell Us More, maybe they knew that's what I wanted to hear, backed him a couple of weeks back for the Neptune.

I wonder which of them will run in the Royal Bond? He has Shaneshill, Allez Colombieres, Max Dynamite, Sempre Medici and Nichols Canyon entered.

Slabster I've backed that for the Neptune but think I might have done me dough,might end up in Albert bartlett

Laughable that this is the best they have really, Best novice on the gallops maybe but best horse in the yard, Talking sh@t whoever said that.

One should believe none of what one reads or hears, some of what one sees and about half of what one feels!

We will see in March won't we !

Can go win it's novice race at Cheltenham by 30 lengths hard held, Still will need 20+ Grade 1's in open class or 3 champion hurdles on its CV to be the best they've ever had won't it.

What do you want me to say,no one is forcing you to back it,do what ya fuuckin want,makes no odds to me!

Well he may turn out to be the best they have ever had...who knows!!
At this stage hes simply a talking horse,and Ruby said earlier on RUK that he aint sat on him yet.

Anyway, all the OP said was what he had been told,nice of him to share that imo.
Course it could be b0ll0cks,but then again......,we have to wait and see.

Ur right buddeliea,I've said what I've heard,that's all,don't know anyone in the stable,don't know many people in horse racing,would have to be some horse to be anywhere near some of them !

Cufcno1 - tell us more entered in two races at weekend over 2m. If he runs in one of those you'd have to be thinking that he won't be going 3m this year. I've backed him for neptune and would be more than happy with a start over min distance

Yeah,you would hope it can only be good news regarding Neptune,who knows,faugheen ran over all sorts of distances

my mates mates mate said his sister is going out with a lad who is good mates with a brother of someone who knows someone that works at the stable and he claims its the best they have ever had

Good enough for me Gazo, Full bank job time.

Outlander and Alpha Des Obeaux look more like Albert Bartlett horses for Giggenstown than Tell us More. When Mullins clan say a horse has speed and stamina they are talking about the Neptune.

I'd imagine Shaneshill and Tell Us More will be running in Neptune, maybe Sempre Medici too.

Allez Columbieres most likely to go Supreme, stays further but so did Champ Fever and Vautour.

Gumbo if you want to back it,back it,if you don't..fuuck off !

Come on lads.lets try and make this forum helpful for all.
Good info,good discussion, might help us make some money.

Nice one

No More heroes will go AB CVB, I suggest backing him ahead of anything else they have for this race.

Be interesting to see if this fella is pitched straihgt into G1 company in the Royal Bond this weekend....

Pay day for me tommorow so does anyone wanna lay me 100 quid at 11.5

For the supreme that is

11/10 for the race on Sunday

Seen that,entered in a maiden on Saturday aswell,might get pitched straight into deep end hopefully

Time to top up at 10's IMO. Be 5's by Sunday pm....

If he wins on Sunday the parasites will halve his odds for March.

If he gets beat a length or two he'll stay the same price.

The only way his odds will get pushed out is if he is tailed off.

Purely on a financial basis taking the 10/1 now looks a good investment.

big drifter for sunday now, stablemate getting backed

does look a bit weird starting out in a grade 1

Declarations at 10am tomorrow morning. Will find out then if he goes for the maiden or Grade 1. It's not common for Mullins to throw horses in the deep end but if memory serves me correctly he threw Pont Alexandre straight into a Grade 1 on debut?

He sure did Paterson, Was his only Grade 1 win as well.

The market would suggest both of the Mullins horses won't run. Top 3 in the betting are 5/4, 2/1 and 5/2. That's 105% overround without even considering the others.

According to someone on Twitter who claims to be in attendance at a preview night with Patrick Mullins and Barry Connell, Allez Colombieres is an intended runner and No More Heroes is a likely non runner ... won't know for certain until declarations tomorrow I suppose!

@HRI_Racing: 7 declared for @BarOneRacing Royal Bond Nov. Hdle incl. Allez Colombieres, Nichols Canyon, Tandem, Draco & All Hell Let Loose @Fairyhouse

nice info paterson with the non runner!

Looking forward to seeing him run tomorrow.

Willie Mullins on his Racing Post Blog - "Ruby rides Allez Colombieres, who came to us with a good reputation from France. He was a three-time bumper winner there and his form looks very, very good. And he has done nothing but impress us at home since his arrival. We were patient with him, and he's a beautiful horse who shows us a nice bit of ability at home. He'll be very competitive."

Oh Dear

Looked down for a moment and it was pulled up. Hard to see what happened. Didn't appear to take a false step.

speechless

Didn't see a bad injury when rewinding it. Looks maybe like one of the forelegs was hurt. Didn't see the horse on the track after the finish line.

I wonder did something not just feel right and Ruby pulled him up.

Have no idea what happened there - didn't appear to be injured or lame

I get the impression something didnt feel right and Ruby pulled him up straight away.

300k is a big investment, Ruby maybe kept him for another day.

Apparently he was led straight into a horse ambulance

"Not break but possibly pulled muscle or ligament or stress fracture. Imagine he's facing a long break" @WillieMullinsNH Allez Colombieres

RIP

Oh no

Terrible news

Tough day for Ricci today... Shows just how hard the game is.

If you want to make money owning horses isnt the way to go - obviously hes not in it for the money but I believe it cost about 300K.

Shocker.....shame for connections.

At least Kalkir did a job earlier.

RIP

Weird the way that went. No false step or anything else obvious. Did Ricci buy it off Arthur Daley?

It's absolutely desperate for this to happen and I certainly don't want to use this terrible incident to make a point, but I find myself doing it anyway....for all the other horses that this owner has, strike while the irons hot and get your horses in the right races and give them the best chance to win a race that their talent deserves....you never know what's round the corner.
