Hoping to see an entry for Saturday (Fairyhouse) for Limini tomorrow. Few alarm bells may ring if not. Normally the race Willie's uses for one of his best novice mares.

Yep both Limini and Myska entered on Saturday. WPM did say Limini was been targeted at a race in England so will be interesting to see which one he runs.
|
|
By:
I think she will run. The only suitable race in England that I can see is at Sandown on 19th Feb, and I can't believe that they will wait until then to bring her out...
|

By:
I think you're probably right. I see Myska is also entered @ Punchestown on Sunday. GL

This is the best bet of the meeting @ 5/2, the connections think the world of listening to variuos podcasts and interviews, i think she'll go off near odds on, especially if Min, Faugheen, UDS and Douvan have already dollied up. Shes in my bust off 6 fold with the Triumph favourite Ivanovich Gorbatov at 3/1 (107 on the flat, travlled jumped and pulled away after the last giving weight and a beating to the Mullins mare. The 6 fold pays around 135/1 and ill be off to the sun the weekend after the Fess. If that Sherwood yoke (beaten at Leicester in the week) was 10/1 third in to beat her she'll will defo go off odds on, she didnt jump that great back in May but she traveled great a few L's off the pace and came there pretty handy infact she was nearly strangled prior the line not to be shown up or win by any unwanted distance. The form of the placed horses since says everything, my only worry is not seeing her on the track since but the money here and with the firms says shes in good form, buttons traded on this market (12k) and the buttons are only holding the price up, get on and get paid on the best bet of the week.

I really cannot see a 5/2 shot, with one run a year ago in a maiden hurdle being the bet of the meeting personally.
Those on at 7's, I suppose that's a decent looking bet now, but she's done nothing since, and is now about 1/4 of the odds. If I'm honest, I don't know a thing about 99% of the horses behind her in the betting, but this is race I have no plan on ever getting involved in. I don't know what the rules are for 4 year olds running in it, but surely Apples Jade and Jers Girl have much better form? |
|
By:
Yes 5/2 is crazy but she'll probably be an 1/1 shot if she wins the Solerina handily on Saturday.
WC - Good point on the 4yo's as they do qualify. They both have an OR of around 135+. The winner of last years Solerina got an OR of 145 so that is a bit of a guide. If the market is to be believed then she must be very highly regarded. GL |
|
By:
It's all about her potential, the form of her hurdle win is decent and she won easily enough. She'd want to be hurdling better than on debut. But as an earlier poster said it's her beating of Manatee on the level that means ability wise she's surely head and shoulders above these.
|

By:
Yeah, I agree she looks to have a lot of potential, but there's a lot who were rubbish on the flat who were great over the sticks and vice versa. Fwiw, I prefer to go for the good bumper ones rather than ones with high flat ratings but that's just me.
The form of her hurdle, a quick look through it and it looks ok but nothing great. The runner up is now rated 136 (giving Limini lumps of weight that day) and the fourth is now 130. It'll be interesting if the 4 yo's get weight, or if it's all off levels. I'd fancy Apples Jade or Jers Girl, but I think they'd be Triumph bound if they put up a good show against Ivanovich next week. |

By:
Ricci in tomorrow racing post outs her in as one of his bankers.

I believe the 4yos do get weight from the older horses.

Odds on next week

Deffo.

I do think if she jumps she wins, because she definitely has more gears than anything else in this field.
|
|
By:
Got late to the party, my own fault but have taken the 5/2 as it probably be even money after Saturday
|
|
By:
Catching pigeons apparently
|
|
By:
He gives douvan, faugheen and limini has his Cheltenham treble.
|
|
By:
delsie that's a dreaded expression, like when someone says no problem, there always ends up being one
 |
|
By:
Can't catch Min - but the pigeons are easy meat, john!

By:
wc - yes they get weight i have been looking at the 4 year old angle and i think either paul kealy or nick watts was very keen on this angle (someone anyway) but think JG may be found out on better going and lets dance obviously same conections - so for me apples jade would be the interesting one. I did think which one is which ran a very eye catching race but have heard nothing since and wouldnt have a clue what the plans are for her - also trip probably on short side - so all in all clueless - so many think fav is home and hosed so they could well be right - the only other plan is wait to see if anything else attracts any money (particularly without running) and chance a cheeky few quid. All said i guess its a step up from the charity race
|
|
By:
Well I hope you're right on both counts.
|
|
By:
Lets wait n see, its all about opinions and thats what this great game is all about, i think Limini is a certainty and the 5/2 now will be odds on come the Thursday. Whether your a layer or a player at the 5/2 good luck to all of ye !
|
|
By:
This horse is in 12 out of my 16 ante post bets at odds ranging from 7/1 to 7/2 after hearing Patrick Mullins on Final Furlong podcast last autumn - hope the hype is justified but form of the one run coupled with flat form & top stable rep - surely goes off silly odds on if week goes to form taking into account the race is run last on the Thurs...
|
|
By:
Very dangerous splinter being in 12/16 bets, good luck.
|
|
By:
Cheers Stevo - got previous with these type bets.....came off gloriously with Faugheen in Neptune yr before last but huge fail yr before when Champ Fever was in ALOT of bets for Neptune - rather sickening when he won the bloody Supreme! At least we know Limini runs in this as long as she's not injured
|
|
By:
2.92 to lay fill your boots up lads 9/4 and 2/1 - Choo Choo !
|
|
By:
She's running tomorrow 3.05 Fairyhouse and she's 13/2 on the Sporting Life betting forecast
 Please tell me someone doesn't get paid to do that betting forecast!!!! |
|
By:
Wrong way around 2/13
 |
|
By:
Possibly?
Forecast Whistle Dixie (10/3), Cashelard Lady (7/2), Rosie Alice (7/2), Ten Times Better (9/2), Limini (13/2), The Brock Inn (13/2), Jodies Miss (33/1) |
|
By:
Haha, brilliant. I think my max bet level might increase if that was correct.
|
|
By:
Im obviously feeling slightly smug that I have backed Limini at nice prices, but her price is absolutely ridiculous now! Into 7-4 on the basis she is running this weekend? What price is she going to be if she wins?!
|
|
By:
I think she'll go off odds on at the Festival if there fit and well.
|
|
By:
Assuming she wins this weekend, she definitely will!
|
|
By:
That market move on her is incredible. At 7/4 now from 7/1 on word of mouth. Amazing.
|
|
By:
It's combination of the connections, a mare with a lot of flat race ability and potentially the weakest race of the week.
|
|
By:
Mullins has farmed this race the last 4 years ?
|
|
By:
On a side note, I'm disappointed to see G. Elliott potentially ruining the mark of Whistle Dixie. 119 is surely a very well handicapped mare?
|
|
By:
It's the first year this race has been at the Festival Mr G.
