Despite giving up on this horse as a top class prospect about 5 runs ago I've backed him today at a double figure price in the hope that having the might Barry Gerreaghty on board instead of the usual muppet might see him finally deliver what many of us thought he was capable of.

Are you going in as well Sint.DevilDevil

No grief from me.Confused

I tipped him to be the next Best Mate after his novice hurdle season and the tipped hm for the Champion Hurdle last yearCry.

I did at least give up on him in time to save myself backing him for the Arkle and other races this year and have given Sint some gentle ribbing about his loyalty to the horse, but with Barry Gerraghty on board today he at least now has the chance to show if he still has the ability we all thought he had 2 years ago.Grin

Anyway if I wnat to give Sint grief I just mention Moohaahjim.Laugh

this horse is very disappointing... wouldn't touch him myself and doesn't warrant a wager, although he won't get a better chance to put his head in front in good company...he won't though and will find a way to spit the dummy out... hard to bring yourself to back such a disappointing horse on ground he isn't entirely in love with...in fact would go as far to say i'm not sure what he is in love

a horrible horse

I'm not sure Roo?

I have only backed him once, for the Guineas @ 25/1 after his Mill Reef win, but I said immediately after the Middle Park I could rip my ticket up.Cry

But as with Oscars Well this season Sint is still claiming to retain the faith,and even after his lamentable run in the Greenham Sint hasn't torn his ticket up and thinks he might still be a player.Crazy

I hope he's right as I still haven't been able to lay off my original bet but to my eyes he shouldn't be going anywhere the Guineas.Mischief

tbh uncle you were planning to lay two days after the Mill Reef when you heard he was going Middle Park LaughLaugh.

Only point I was making is that you both have only backed him for the Guineas, he is only hopeful that the initial impression is proven right - as am I

It was just a bit of banter back that's all GrinMischief

No way am I backing this beast Uncle. I wish you luck and hope he wins for you. Trainer has had a winner this week with Jezki and Bostons Angel went close in the last race.

But for me he just looks better off in handicaps or perhaps back over hurdles. It is a strange race in that several have holes in them, Arvika has lost the plot, might be an Autumn horse, and a couple of the others ran at Cheltenham and Aintree. Oscars Well could actually be the freshest horse in the race!

He is 8/1 on here with a load of money waiting to back so i'm guessing he was pwice wised? I can't back him though, makes no difference to me if he wins tbh, it's just the way it goes!!

Win only Sint - at the prices I thought it was worth a small flutter, just a shame Avril bounced back to form.

yep, I think Arvika clearly needs to go right-handed. He jumped to his left when he fell at Leopardstown too.
