PENHILL - WORLD HURDLE

14/1 on bf crazy price

why is 14/1 a crazy price? hasn't run for a year and needs to step up on all known form, he should be much bigger in my book

His only entry?

Am I missing something here? Is Bacardys, Augusta Kate, Bapaume, Let's Dance etc........ not entered?

As for Penhill he has still not been seeing since getting beaten at Punchestown last year, that has to be a big worry.

Totally agree with Harry re the price

Sorry have took up the "His only entry" part wrong

this owner rarely leaves it behind if his money is down .

you need to check your book harry coz on form this horse has to have a chnce

he has got a chance dragon your right but his form needs improving upon and we haven't seen him, so 14/1 for me is not an attractive price, however good luck with the wager, i quite like barcardys (haven't bet him) he also needs to improve on all known form, the race is not an appealing betting medium to me at this stage

'On form Penhill would have a chance' and Harry what form are you referring to?

How could you possibly think a horse that won a novice hurdle at Cheltenham and hasn't run for a year would have a chance. In my opinion you are throwing away money!!

Apologises that was directed at Dragon...

This horse is a big baby .
couldn't jump hurdles for toffee previous year
albert bartlett aint a bad guide beat monalee and wholestone
trained for the melbourne cup last summer
didn't go due to training setback
was 20's on here two weeks ago after being backed in previously to about 16s then drifted out
the money has come for it again after unconfirmed report of a niggle
battling horse loves a stiff finish , won't be surprised

Boys it hasn't ran since last year. You can't compare novice form into open company until they run. No way Penhill should be this short

not often you see a horse win a big race at the Festival after setbacks during the season, things clearly haven't been right, you need to be spot on to win these races

10/1 is best price now 8,s in places

Matched at 48 here!

Might as well be matched at double that Impossible

An update soon perhaps.

It's not blooming running

Hahahaha

been nibble down to less than tens on here
8/1 with most bookmakers
i got 15\1 start of feb on here
and i thought that was bad

horse has problems every year

It has been suggested (can't remember where -- perhaps in the Post) the Penhill-mania started with rumours that owner and celebrity mega-punter Tony Bloom was trying to buy a box at Cheltenham, because nothing says perfectly executed, long-term plan better than last-minute scrabbling for tickets.

Haha. Exactly what I thought Ramruna. And as if you wouldn't want to go and watch the horse you own run at the Cheltenham Festival? Tony Booom is hardly going to be lolling around the Best Mate enclosure is he.

10/1 now promises to be a fascinating race great line up!!

Am I right in saying no Albert Bartlett winner has even gone on to win the Stayers Hurdle?

Granted a fair few of them would have gone novice chasing the next season but the likes of Black Jack Ketchum, Wichita Lineman, At Fishers Cross, Martello Tower, Berties Dream and Uknowhatimeanharry where all beaten in the next seasons Stayers Hurdle.

It's probably a useless stat seen as some of them would have ran into great staying hurdlers in Inglis Drever and Big Bucks but interesting all the same.

no stayers winner ever ranin the a b

8/1

Ruby must have chosen Bacardys

Kealy on a preview said the owner who is a big gambler was trying to buy a box at the Festival the day he runs.

He was making out this owner is a Real Pro, the Head Honcho, the Big Cheese, the King, the Numero Uno, the Master of The Universe, the Real Deal.

Be warned.

Poker genius

here we go

FCING TOLD YOU BOOM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done Dragon - brilliant training performance.

Get in there - WD the Dragon

had a nice e/w on the back of this thread

fantastic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nice one LM

Very well done, think Tony Bloom might have made some serious money there !

Well Done Dragon

Backed it e/w myself a couple of weeks ago with a bookie (on the back of this thread). Was intending to lay some off on here but the price drifted so I had no choice but to let it ride

great stuuff BUD very pleased for you!!!

well done dragon

very well done indeed, incredible effort to win a championship race after a year off

cheers guys - festival and more paid for

Might be able to win a couple more stayers, he's a strong stayer with bags of relative pace.

Nice one dragon had a bit on myself very well done

greatstuf seathestars - class

'The Dragon', very well done! I backed it on the AB win early prior to knowing he'd been injured; laid off quite a bit after still winning on the day.

nice one 123 was always a class horse one to watch going forwarsd

Well done. I like seeing them go in when someone has taken a bit stick for having the balls to post an opinion.

yup me too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

Keep doing it,...horse racing is a sport of opinions. Anything else is bunkum.

there can't have been many horses that win festival races with consecutive runs

dunno but Penhill is n't one of 'em! He got beat by Gigginstown's worst horse at Punchestown last April following his Albert Bartlett win!

For what it's worth I would have been with the naysayers on this thread - there's no shame in that, we all get it wrong sometimes!

Well done The Dragon and other winners though - he's got some engine, Francesca was on about the Melbourne Cup - I'd be tempted to have a speculative shot at the Ascot Gold Cup but I know that won't happen...

sore shin problem
comes and goes

well done dragon !

thanks foyels

Nice work, Dragon. I wonder if you get any posts from the "experts" who were trying to tell you it couldn't win?

Mullins said a flat campaign was unlikely given his injury niggles - though he is hardly one to trust and the Melbourne Cup may be too tempting for connections as the prize money is different gravy.

great shout dragon with penhill, cant keep a good man down. do you think penhill could be a serious dual purpose horse? still lightly raced and only a 7 year old. plenty more to come from him hopefully. well done again

I'd fancy Supasundae to reverse on good ground, who just ran out of stamina. Maybe we'll get that at Punchestown.

probably right wc we shall no doubt see

Well, he's got an Ascot Gold Cup entry so maybe that is on the cards after all.

Business to take care of tomorrow first though...

just had a look at the betting for the 2019 stayers Hurdle and PENHILL is 2nd Fav at 7/1 bit short imvho at this oh so early stahe of the season

Fuaheen is fav and Apples Jade at 14/1 with WH and PP looks of interest

one that impressed me yesterday at newbury was jps champ in the 20f handicap ,on the up and has potential for lots of improvment looked the winner a fair way out and never in danger  well thought of and with jps uknowhatimeanharry getting on in years could they aim champ at the world hurdle  ? could be on thier minds as he will be clobbered by the handicapper after yesterdays romp ,no prices in the markets on here yet ,pulled away on the run in and a step up to 3m could suit, will be very interested in this one if it goes the stayers route

after more research seems i have been barking up the wrong tree ,champ is still a novice and hendo said he may go challow hurdle next ............now lets have a look at those chelters novices prices !

10s fav for the ballymore on hear !

value gone, boat missed etc.............if ya see the bandwagon ..........you are to late !

Ballymore 4th Scarpeta runs for the first time over 3m tomorrow at Clonmel.  I've had a few quid at 3 figs on here.

Also like Cracking Smart 33/1 now Elliot has said he's staying hurdling.  He was Fav for Albert Bartlett before his injury.

still 7/1 but now the fav

now2nd fav due to form of Paisley park Fortunatley im on both antepost PP 16/1 Penhill 7/1 , hoping one will win!!!

I would want 10/1 penhill with a run

have backed penhill in some multis at sp ,he was 9/2 shops when i put the bets on he is bigger now .

back in again now as apples is going for the champion hurdle

penhill is out of the stayers due to injury

runs today in a very smart race at fairyhouse

Last and beaten 34 lengths

Might be the last time he seen on A NH RACE

hope not maybe needed the run but has won first time out before so not good

not run well at all this season little hope of turning PP over at this rate
