Commiserations to the original poster.
There was nothing in that Leopardstown run that should have suggested that he went for the Supreme. It was a Grade 2 field where only two counted and he was ridden like a stayer to beat another stayer - the second goes for the Ballymore. If they really thought he was a speed horse why didn't they just sit off the Gigginstown horse and in so doing have a much easier race. Owner will be hoping to win with Shishkin so Mullins doesn't end with too much egg on his face. Second most illogical decision so far behind Envoi Allen not going Supreme. |

cheers diffdrum never mind have covered myself in the supreme but as said not for as much , a bit of a let down and a boost from the graded race today the winner jason the militant was about 90 lengths behind asterion f last time but mt leinster who was placed in same race was well beat today ,it did appear to have a hard race last time though .

this one into fav for the supreme on here now , should be improvement to come but the same with most of the field, should be a cracker to kick off the festival .

Needs to improve his jumping on a left handed course.

By:
yep needs to but a fair few seem to jump out to the right at leopardstown and hopefully willie will have taken steps to correct it .

No doubt he would Foyles,but to back him at current prices is to me too much of a risk after watching his last race.

By:
yes i agree with that bud i wouldnt back him at current price tbh . thankfully i have a few quid on at bigger prices ,would have suited my pocket much better if he went spuds or ballymore but thgats life .

yeah budd think its just a precaution but who knows , if i (a big if )had 2 potential good uns i would split . a decent chance in each race and anything can happen . cant see em splitting though .

Where theres hope Foyles!!!
This rubbish weather came from the South West so I imagine Chelt must have got some mate. Don't know though. According to my weather app on phone,its a sunny day there tomorrow,dry Sunday, and then more rain next week  |

Looks like he’ll go left handed again says Mullins...after taking out half the field in the supreme other owners must be delighted

Given the fact that he destroyed at least 2 horses chances in the Supreme,and is still jumping right handed this season,for me he should not be anywhere near Cheltenham.
If the trainer does want him to run there, i hope he tells his jockey to line up on the outside!! |
