Hopefully Mcfabulous will bolt up at Newbury nto.
|

By:
Thyme Hill confirmed to be staying over hurdles.
Definitely an interesting contender but 14/1 best price is disappointing at this stage. |
|
By:
on the face of it lisnagar oscar was dissapointing yesterday beaten a good way by roskana , but it must be remembered it was a prep. the market told its story and the target is in march.
|
|
By:
He's a totally different animal around Cheltenham so I wouldn't worry about yesterday. He actually ran nicely to two out and then blew up as the market indicated.
|
|
By:
yep and he has gone out to 25s with some books
|
|
By:
Nice result for you foyles
|
|
By:
Did it well
|
|
By:
yes just seen it harry sp was big, didnt back him today but happy with that !
|
|
By:
sorry the 1 point win should read 1 point each way ^^^^^^ have learned a lesson and back anything over 8/1 each way nowadays ^^^^^^^
|
|
By:
Just want to put this one in before it runs at Cheltenham tomorrow. On the Blind Side. I know Hendo has always thought a lot of him and his chase career has been disastrous
Back over hurdles tomorrow over 3 miles, and if he stays,which I hope he will I cannot see what other target there could possibly be for him this season Maybe a classy type who is under the radar because of poor chase form |
|
By:
good run from fury road over a trip too short ............player!
|
|
By:
Good post Giddy , I had backed him for the race and took the 160 odd price for the Stayers in buttons . But he will need to relearn properly how to jump hurdles cleanly if he is to have any chance , And yes the obvious target .
|
|
By:
thyne hill did it well and now around 5/1 fav worth bearing in mind fury road fin in front of him in spuds race and can be backed at 14/1 b365.monkfish didnt do the form any harm over fences today .
|
|
By:
Yep, FR should not be around 3 times the price of TH.
AB form is strong. |
|
By:
yeah budd backed it at 25s and 20s a while back ,runs tommorow in the hattons grace trip a bit short but been some money for it.
|
|
By:
Nice mate, bit slow myself, backed him yesterday after TH ran so well, thought i was lucky that 14 was available to be honest.
|
|
By:
The Long Walk should be informative Saturday. Sire Du Berlais entered and Thyme Hill. Roksana getting 7lb allowance from the rest and Thomas Derby being stepped up
Thistlecrack also in there along with plenty of other nice horses. Interestingly this will be the first time Thyme Hill has gone right handed and I do think he will prove to be the best of the Brits and the softer the ground the better for him. Paisley Park installed as 7/4 Fav |
|
By:
I'd rest PP after today certainly no Cleeve Hill if the ground is very soft, and straight to Cheltenham with a racecourse spin prior. PP's proven he's the daddy of this.
|
|
By:
Well he werent the daddy last season,and it was close yesterday,after losing to TH earlier.
TH should improve with more experience. PP on course for the Cleeve says trainer. All in all its hard to call between the two,and their are others as well. Looks a good renewal to look forward to. |
|
By:
PP gave a start and a beating to TH in the last 100 yards; TH had position advantage throughout the race yet got chinned looking very likely the winner. And, I firmly believe the same result will prevail between the two come Cheltenham, all being equal.
PP skipped The Long Walk (prep/heavy ground) but ran in the Long Distance and Cleeve Hurdle prior to Cheltenham. Also, he's proven he's sound and overcome his heart predicament unless connections are after the prize money; Thyme Hill could in his absence perhaps. |
|
By:
Well you may be right imp, same result may prevail..
Then again.....we shall see. Few things will probably happen next 3 months. |
|
By:
I'd give up the entire 2021 horse racing season for Covid to disappear for good. Then we can all enjoy our lives once again with impunity and safety.
|
|
By:
It looks like connections of Thyme Hill are considering to skip the Cleeve Hurdle and head straight to Cheltenham. The horse is not the most robust and may be suited arriving at the Festival fresh, according to his trainer; no round 3 against Paisley Park then.
|
|
By:
That would be round 3....at the festival, just have a few others to worry about as well.
|
|
By:
PP was odds-on last year. He's 7/2 against a horse he's beaten despite a troubled passage; Sire Du Berlais (SDB) is the main danger if he wins convincingly at Leopardstown. If SDB does not win, PP will be nearer 2/1. I believe, as he's proven.
|
|
By:
would not suprise me if pp went straight to festival , that was a bit of a slog saturday
|
|
By:
The trainer of Thyme Hill has hinted his charge may skip Cleeve Hurdle as he's not as robust as some, and go to the Festival a fresh horse. Thus, Cleeve Hurdle is there for PP to reassert his supremacy.
|
|
By:
I think this threads been hijacked by the Paisley Park appreciation fan club.
|
|
By:
Think only Inglis Drever regained crown in last 50 years.
|
|
By:
Lets just hope the former champ, the current champ, and the pretenders all turn up in March.....great race to look forward to
And lets just hope that the virus dont ruin it all!! |
|
By:
I must say i was very disappointed Thyme Hill got beat. It did take him at least a mile to settle,and maybe going right handed unsettled him a tad. Also I was surprised Johnson didn't go for him until the last as his stamina never really came into play on ground that suited. Maybe clutching at weak excuses for the defeat as Paisley won well after trouble I would expect different tactics with TH next time and can see him being prominent ensuring a steady strong pace. I would hope that TH will have Paisley's measure going back left handed but still the Irish to worry about!
|
|
By:
I would profer that it was very heavy ground that beat him not the pace.
You can see from his gait in the last two furlongs he wasnt comfortable. |
|
By:
Fair point! Was he comfortable the whole race? Was very free early and jumped high at several hurdles. Maybe the reason why Johnson held on to him for so long
|
|
By:
The horse is dodgy. He was looking for a lead to.his right after second last then to his left after the last. Wont go away from the field. You wont see him winning six lengths, its in the locker but if johnson cant get it out of him no one can.
|
|
By:
think thyme hill is going to need decent going,dont think carrying 11-10 around cheltenham in the mud will suit him
|

french dynamite.....16/1 btn 1/2 by sire du berlais ,its no secret that i am a sdb fan but 16s is value imo ,french dynamite btn 1/2 l rec 3 pound levels tommoz ,should progress and has won over 3m ,could be close between the 2 although you would expect sdb to come out on top on the terms again but its racing and anything can happen ,will have a pop each way french d 16s...........
|
|
By:
french dynamite only had 5 runs total .
