NH 2012-13 BIG RACES THREAD

nice going Hemsby.

I found this week tough. The New One and Our Conor were the hihglights, OC in particular who have I had been backing everyday for tenners since his Leopardstown win on top of the single bet. It's been very stressful. Reve getting done for a place was a big sickener though as I had backed him similarly to OC!

I think that was about Oscars Well actually - about the only thing ingot right!

Anyway fantastic festival hemsby - well done sint, steam and I'm sure Com also had OC at fancy prices. Bollox with NH, come on the flat!

See ya!

I think COM had Our Conor at 25/1 from way back ..

Roo there are two seasons inside 12 months with NH/Flat and only 6 months ago you had 200pts on the Flat so i'm sure you're well in profit still.

I know sint and all is good, just not seeing it over the jumps at the moment. Flat is always clearer to me so rather than give it back to Laddies etc, I'll hang fire for now.

Good luck all for the rest of the season

Well done all winners, god bless JT and commiserations to Jane Mangan - crystalizes wot makes are great sport great

Lets be clear .. im not a big fan of this horse but last time it wasnt his jumping that let him down he just slipped on landing. One or two of the others may drop out also. Indeed MDH might not rub but ill take the chance.

Powers Gold Cup

2pts win Mikael D'Hanguenet @ 5/1
1.5pts ew Buckers Bridge @ 10/1 (B365) 1/5 1,2,3

I concur Sintonian, it ain't the greatest of Powers Gold Cups

There are question marks about ALL of them. Firstly, I am just hoping he is declared, because if he is, I don't think Arvika will be.

OW & Mount B are the only certain runners at this stage I think.

Willie has said this is Mikael's target so fingers crossed. Very doubtful Arvika will run given his poor performance in the Arkle but Buckers Bridge is a likely runner according to Henry.

Sweet. When did he say that?

Jessica Harrington has said OW is a definite on sporting life, article there now.

Nevermind Hemsby, i'm sure you'll survive

I got my staking wrong. Should have backed FL win only as I was confident in him. Vago Collonges looked the winner at 14/1 at one stage too so it was gutting he got overhauled by a horse coming from a yard that had not had a winner since Dec 8th.

Very happy with that finishing total,with the Cheltenham Festival providing the vast majority of my profit.Our Conor's Triumph Hurdle victory the performance of the season for me.

Some nice healthy positive balances on here (as usual),WP all.Would be nice to see some of the old names return next season ....plattini,Terry Venables,Turnip Turns, Pebbles  etc. as I for one certainly miss you guys insight and opinion.

Good luck to all of you for the Flat season,see you next NH season for the proper (non drug fueled ) stuff .......hemsby.

Tremendous Hemsby. Enjoy the winnings, summer and dancing girls

+51.43 is my final P&L. Content enough with that but not as good as last season.

Well done to all those who made a profit.
