Dr P J Moriarty Novice Chase Grade 1 2m5f.

Ignore the Susp bit. These are laddies odds and they are still live, as I just placed a bet on Quel Esprit.

reasosn are ..

He jumped great on his debut, the trip looks plumb at this stage of his career, the form has been franked twice by Torphicen, and also on aline through Noble Prince.

Blazing Tempo also represents Mullins. She has been a new aquisition for the yard and so far she has looked top class. But IF she runs in the (also has another engagement in a Mares race) she will be taking on the boys and needs to improve.

MDH - taking a risk here but not toally sure he will run. And even if he does, who wants to back ? He did bounce last time, but there was more to it than that imo, he jumped to his right and hung, why not just give him an easy assignment somewhere before trying for a Grade 1 again?!

Quito De La Roque is a class horse, but he needs a real test of stamina, usually on Heavy ground, and this trip is short of 3 miles.

Magnanimity - won last time out and is lightly raced, but was in receipt of weight from Jessies Dream and was a fortunate win that day, as Jessies Dreams jumping let him down badly on the final circuit and he jumped right at the last fence costing him a precious few lengths, and was only beat half a length at the finish.

The rest dont look good enough imvho.

Taking a risk as the race is still 2 weeks aways, and you can never be sure a horse will run, but the race looks tailormade for QE to my mind so chanced it.

Quel Esprit wins.

4/1 is a cracking price still available?can see this race cutting up and going off around7/4,i have read that they are thinking of world hurdle for mikhael

I backed it this aftertoon and also just before I posted this thread, so yes still available. Remember though, it is an ante-post market!!

Still keen on the 5/1 about Mikael - He'd have been 6/4 if he stood up in the Drinmore and how people can be writing him off after just one below-par run in his entire career baffles me. He'll be 5/2 if he lines up and Willie states that he's very likely to.

com i dont think he is an intended runner on about going back over hurdles with him,r u sure?

Trainer cant train novices to jump fences as shown again today so wouldnt be surprised it would be an easy cop out for him.

Yes, he has said the horse's next run will be over fences!

has wwon 3 rsa chases

More tripe - Cooldine, Florida Pearl etc. More proof that you know nothing about horse racing!

rule supreme won rsa aswell ,a ridiculous statement

Don't waste your time with eric guys. Worst poster on these forums. Don't get sucked it by him.

quel esprit is entered in 2m 4f novice chase at gowran(thyestes rescheduled)next sat which wud be a concern

Quel Esprit and Mikael Dhaguenet are evens to turn up, so that would price them up at 6/4 and 2/1 on the day.

If Willie is aiming both at the RSA, then one of them will run at Gowran and the other will run in the DR PJ Moriarty!

yes... but it's a mistake taking a price now. I would rather get a pt less and know my horse was turning up.

Well QE was the only one enterred for the Gowran race the last time. I guess we'll have a better idea tomorrow!

Some horses make natural chasers, others may need extra help like Long Run whose jumping was average last season but absolutely transformed this after I took the mick that they revealed they didnt school him then. They have made an effort to improve his jumping in the indoor school as revealed by Waley-Cohen and to their absolute credit have come up trumps this season he has been excellent compared to last. Does Mullins do anything if, like Long Run, they are not naturals that fall in their lap as novice chasers. It would not surprise me one bit if he just cops out and sends them back over hurdles rather than improves them to win a King George which Mikael D'Haguenet has the engine to be a major contender for next season.

You all just listen to pocket talking Fkwit CVByrne and ignore me.

long runs"jumping was average last season" did u see him in the feltham?

Ok you watched a different horse to me last season did you. You think one run is it, did you watch every race he ran in?

Given QE has an additional entry for Gowran I suggest people dont back it, just to be safe ...

Bit late now every one of your followers is on now.

another stupid comment from Eric. Flat Out lost today eric because he went from a beginners chase into a Grade 1 within 2 weeks. He was short on the experience needed for a top race.

he ran in 2 races the feltham and rsa both he jumped well nothing wrong with his run behind weapons amnesty just kempton suits him better,ur clueless if u think wp mullins cant train novice chasers

fancy that challenge or still counting the paper money ?

£200 to charity .. IF YOU CAN BEAT ME

I have blocked sintonian and CVByrne now. Enough horsesh1t to fill a stable from them in a week.

Lets get this right, you thought Long Run was a natural jumper last season when he hit fences throughout the RSA. They did masses of work in the indoor school with him because he was a natural and you know better. Is that right?

People are blocking you Morris cos you talk sh1te and are just here to try and rise people! And you know the least about racing here than 90% of us judged by your comments.

he doesnt act as well around cheltenham,go on to rp site and look at his run in feltham,it is on the same day as king george norm 26th dec

3 mistakes in the Feltham, a mistake in the Kingmaker, 2 or 3 mistakes in the RSA.

1 slight mistake the PPower and none in the King George.

Are you sure you believe what you are saying here?

no ur spot on, i bow to ur superior judgement and knowledge

I would say the indoor schooling has improved his jumping vastly already, will Mullins do this with none natural novice chasers in his care, especially the ones, like Long Run, with vast engines.

childofmine ... the problem is the idiots are not blocking me, they prefer to stalk winners on here. You are also now blocked, thanks for reminding me how you accused me of being Mayweather, clown.

Blocking me or any of the others makes absolutely no difference because we've no intention of following you or going anywhere near you. You'll be barred soon enough anyway with a bit of luck

dj876, when I checked entries yesterday QE was not entered for Gowran, and I checked just now and he has not other engaements (currently). Where did you see the other entry ..

he was originally entered for the card on thurs

Sintonian, the Gowran race doesn't close now until Tuesday with decs on Thursday morning.

ok ta

Willie Mullins has said Quel Esprit goes for this, he said that on Saturday.

think quel esprit is a deserved favourite, but i like ballymak and tharawaat alot, trainer thinks alot of both of them

Bob Lingo pleased connections in a workout after racing at Leopardstown on Sunday ahead of a possible tilt at the Dr PJ Moriarty Chase back at the Dublin track in two weeks' time.

The JP McManus-owned nine-year-old got off the mark over fences in good style at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day and he may return there for his next run if trainer Tom Mullins decides to skip the Grade One contest.

"He's doing well. He did a bit of work on Sunday after racing in Leopardstown and he worked well," said the County Kilkenny handler.

"He might go to the Moriarty. If he doesn't go there, he'll go to Fairyhouse early next month for a winners of one.

"We might keep him going right-handed for the time being, we'll see how we get on."

Paul4 - Ballymak runs today, 2.55 Navan. Also, the horse which finished 2nd to Flat Out last time runs, Ad Idem.

Looks as tho Willie may not be represented in the Arkle now!

Mikael will probably go there now.

CVByrne
Mikael will probably go there now

Jeez I hope not, he may run Cest Ca or somethinmg else in the Arkle (Thousand Stars I WAS hoping) and QE is the 2m5f and then Mikael in the RSA - HOPEFULLY!

Well I cant see Ballymak running or winning the Moriarty.

A form boost for Flat Out , though, with Ad Idem winning.

Well mullins seemed to want to run mik over 2m. We've no idea where he'll go now.

But quel esprit is a certainty for the rsa. Horse is a stayer.

ballymak stayed like a train again today though. trainer said would more than likely be contesting the top staying novice chases this season. think over 3m would have won quite well. 390 days off before it ran last time and that was first time over fences, stayed on really well over 3m and was beaten by alpha ridge and noun de la tint (not awful form after 13 months off and no chase experience) and was 21 lengths in front of 4th giving it 5lb (same horse it finished 16 lengths in front of today off levels), a further 16 lengths back to the mullins horse in 5th off same weight (who finished only 6 lengths behind magnanimity off level weights)

Anybody know if Noble Prince will run in this?

Hope not and they go straight to chelt with him...

It is possible but i've heard or read anything. The way he has been campaigned so far would suggest they'll stick to 2 miles, at least while the ground is testing.

* not heard

Gordon Elliot just confirmed Tharawaat goes to Gowran on Saturday. Unfortunately the phone cut-off before he could mention Ballymak.

Blazing Tempo has been declared to run in a mares race tomorrow.

The Gowran race Tharawaat is in has 8 entrants, with no Quel Esprit.  Mullins runs Quadrillon in that race, so it looks like it will be QE and/or MDH for the Moriarty.

Mullins will be hoping his red-hot form can continue to next Sunday when Kempes and Cooldine will line up in the Hennessy Gold Cup at Leopardstown.

After racing at Punchestown, they chased Dr PJ Moriarty Chase-bound Mikael D'Haguenet who also jumped nine fences under Townend.

Mullins said: "I was delighted with that and they all jumped well and the riders were very happy. Kempes [David Casey] and Cooldine [Davy Condon] will run next Sunday and the plan is to run Mikael D'Haguenet in the Moriarty along with Quel Esprit."

Seven remain including Mikael & Quel Esprit

where do you get 7 com ?

HERE YA GO....

Mikael 5/4 with PP

That's a ridiculous price tbf. His two runs so far in G1's have been a disaster. You 5/1 looks fair though.

QE is 5/2.

I wonder who Townend will ride ? He is 3 from 3 on QE, but MDH will need someone who knows him so it must be 50:50 as to who he chooses.

The fact that he rode Mikael in a schooling session against Cooldine & Kempes last Sunday answers that question. I know Mikael is priced purely on reputation but he was just unfortunate more than anything else in the Drinmore. Think he could be slightly bigger on the day however.

Yes that would make sense then.

Thinking alternatively, if MDH,Kempes and Cooldine were all schooling on Sunday, why wasn't QE ?

Im wondering if he is going to run now! [:o] And if he does, who rides, Condon ?

I heard Emmet rode him in a seperate piece of schooling on Sunday. Both are due to run I'd say!

No Quel Esprit

(2:40) 21D Dr. P.J. Moriarty Novice S'chase (Grade 1) €52,000.00 ( 2m 5f - 5yo+ )

1  Bostons Angel(146) (MrsJHarrington) RMPower 11,10
2  Magnanimity(141) (DTHughes) DNRussell 11,10

5  Western Charmer(142) (DTHughes) PWFlood 11,10

Gutted.

I had a feeling this might happen when Willie made no mention of him scholling with the others.

gl with your bet COM. The oppostion looks weak imvho.

With QE gone AWOL, MDH wins this easy IF he jumps, simple as that. Won't give us much clues about Chelt though

Will give us a big clue re the RSA chase. Mikael looked like beating RSA 2nd fav Jessie's Dream when he knuckled at the last first time out in a Grade 1. Magnanimity in this Sundays race beat Jessie's Dream narrowly last time out.

If Mikael beats Magnanimity on Sunday it will confirm his form against Jessie's Dream and make Mikael a rightful 2nd fav for the RSA in place of current RSA 2nd fav Jessie's Dream.

Good points Eric, Im on QE myself for the RSA though.
Im fooked

You wouldn't want to be backing Quel Esprit ante-post, even when it's indicated that he will run. Punter have ripped up their slips twice now, at the final decs stage in a month spell. Having said that, I always felt that it was 50% chance that he would run.

Magnanimity was receiving 8lb from Jessie Dreams that day and depending on which view you take, JD did jump or travel well either OR Timmy Murphy gave him shocking ride.

Magnanimity is a slow plodder so if MDH cannot beat him over this trip then i'd be mighty surpsied. It hs no bearing on the Jessies Dream form with the weight concession.imo

*didn't

7lb not 8.

mikael snaff job. hes gonna destroy them this time.

have a look at mikaels 1st race against jessies dream (i know u have to jump but just look at them both and consider that was his first run, bounced next time), he was laughing at jessies dream and townend only drew his whip at the last, never used it, was gonna beat jessies dream on the bridle, hes gonna destroy them.

Naas abandonded today due to waterlogging.

Presume this race is going to be rescheduled?

tes eric announced later today

Rescheduled for next Saturday, February 12th

any ideas if willie will put QE back in the race ? faint hopes I know.

Timmy gave JD a shocker lto, and I had no financial involvement in the race, it did make me back JD for the RSA tho.

yeah QE back in

He is sj but a bigger price. Originally priced at 5/2 with PP at the five day stage, but now they go 7/2.  Given that ante-post rules apply, I wonder if they are trying to tempt a few in and he'll actually take up another engagement.

Mullins said he could run saturday, sunday or next sunday so good luck [;)]

Quel Esprit now runs in the DR PJ Moriarty - And so does Mikael.
What is Willie like

Crazy stuff by willie. What a life line if you back quel esprit antepost. Not nice if you backed the beast at a short price.

He said QE missed the race last week because of a sore foot ... 7 days later he is OK which seems about right to me ..

Yep, even though it would suit me not to have him in the race that racing for you Sint.
Hate all this crying about trainers changing their minds!
A lot can happen in a week in racing - just look at poor Cooldine, was 2nd fav for the Hennessy 2days ago, could be finished now.

Rough with the smooth - will usually level itself out over time.

i've certainly got lucky with the cancellation Das. I will not get a run for my money when I thought 2pt and more in acca's had gone down the pan.

That said, you could say I got unlucky with the horse pulling his shoe off 2 days before the race anyway!

As you say, swings and roundabouts.

* now get a run

who is on top of Quel tomorrow?

emmet is on him. Quel Esprit looks a decent price at 7/2 considering he was 4/1f when the book opened.

Emmit Mullins.

I am confused. Mullins has double entered both MKD and QE at the w/e. Is he planning to run both in this race or save one for Navan? Or is Navan a back up plan for either or both if an early casualty? Or is a a safety net incase racing abandoned?

Plan is both run 2mw, Navan is the back up plan.

Okay thanks

More comedy classics from comedy duo sintonian and CVByrne ... priceless stuff at least they have noticed horses have 4 legs, Quel Esprit fell in this and the RSA following my observations, Mikael fell in the RSA ... yeah 'dont get sucked in by me' CVByrne .. lol
