A great schooling ride for Fame & Glory

Disgraceful ride, who ever backed FAG got to feel sorry for, not to much tho i backed the winner

Godolphin don't do this sort of thing.

there was nothing wrong with the ride ffs, the horses aren't fit!

More reason why the Betfair SP is so important. Sooner or later O'Brien's horses will return their true value instead of the current rip-off we are seeing.

NOTHING WRONG WITH THE RIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTF IT WAS DISGRACEFUL TO WATCH

It was close to Sea The Stars last year. Should have won that 75% fit....

give the game up ryan, it's not for you...

I thought it was against the rules of racing to not run on your merits.

not allowed to use the track as a schooling ground are you

'A great schooling ride for Fame & Glory'

Bit late in the season to be going over hurdles.

would love to see them try this short of BS in the states or australia and see how long it took to land up banned/jailed

Rooster

Rules in Ireland are slightly different.

The authorities normally get a nice break in Barbados, at some pad owned sby ome bloke called McManus, allegedly.

in Ireland anything goes , you are even allowed to remount

"not allowed to use the track as a schooling ground are you"

Depends who you know.

dgc1 is correct.

If this would have happened in Australia or the US, Murtagh wouldn't leave the racetrack alive.

Punters would make sure of that.

Best horse won.

Where is David Reynolds when you want him?

Best horse won.




clearly not the case joe

No doubt best horse won.

you must have a different form book to me joe.

WELL WHAT WOULD YOU EXPECT FROM THE MASTER ANYONE WHO BACKED THAT deserves everything they got. if you know racing youd know dont back his in gewneral til may. if you do then you take what happens!

Think DJQ is on the wind up

The horse should be there to WIN its race. They could have done that piece of work after racing.

zzz roger de bris... theyv been doin it for years dont be surprised ..

big pockets in here

must be if they backed an obrien unfit horse in april . if they got dough theyl recoup end of . just that they should know the score so dont moan whewnit happens

You lot are usually complaining about overuse of the whip. Never happy.

FAG won in April last year. Not unreasonable to expect the horse to be fit when it appears on the racecourse considering the rules of racing.

Everyone should know by now O'Brien sends them out half-fit at this stage of the season.

And Fame And Glory would've been more forward last season because he was going for the Derby.

wont be fit now brigust when they know what they want off it later in tyhe year irish leger winner all day

No chance of him going for the Irish Leger.

Prince Of Wales' Stakes, Eclipse/King George, Juddmonte, Irish Champion Stakes, Arc, Breeders' Cup Turf.

Nothing to do with it being 'half fit', the least you can expect if it is entered is that it actually attempts to win the race.

welll the irish mafia didnt get where they are by being holyer than holy did they. think they stitched ferguson up meself whewn they realised how valuable rock of gibraltar was .

Should be an easy lay next time it runs.

Dead right Christy, that ride was a disgrace but that mb seem to be able to do what they want.

The currupt stewards didn't take long to pull in Luke Comer when his horse caused marginal interference in an earlier race, so marginal thae the ox horse it interfeared with was 150 to get the race.

Ballydoyle can do what they want when they want.

i think the stats were there...aiden o brian 1 from 25 lst 14 days. i laid it. i also layed alfred noble same reason.

Missed this. What was the betting like before the race, was it being laid heavy?

Thanks

GW

lovely ride imo :)

i expect you didnt lay his two winners today though? inspirational

sure to come on for the race :)

you would be an idiot to lay at those prices...9/2 and 7/1 u could of layed his other short price fav at 2/1 as well!! or is the strategy now to back all the long ones and lay all the short ones seen as u say they are not ready....still cant get that fame and glory wasnt ready like everyone else said should have hosed up.

aftertiming tw@t

the point is that it was a disgraceful ride and murtagh should have got a ban

You back a 1/2 chance of Aiden o'brians in April, Thats what you get.

The ride was a disgrace, but this is racing in the land where we have gutless stewards. That would never happen in Hong Kong. It was just embarrassing to racing. But, anyone who backed Fame And Glory has to be aware of the possibilities, and one of those was that the horse was unfit (or as Aidan puts it, "will improve for the run.") and Murtagh wasn't going to try at all. How the jockey and trainer can escape severe punishment after a run like that is remarkable. Murtagh will be picking up a whip ban next start if the horse is in contention with a furlong to run in a Group 1 race ffs.

the horse couldve hosed up, i like o brien and murtagh but that was a disgrace!!!

the 1/2 was to good to be true ,

Great Whyte 11 Apr 19:49

Missed this. What was the betting like before the race, was it being laid heavy?

Was very solid Great Whyte, actually shortened slightly (from 1.6-ish to 1.5-ish) from the time the market opened.

will be aimed at the coronation cup imo.

fag needs end to end galop to win a race

correct and im sure obrien will have the pacemakers in place for epsom.
