That start at Navan (1.40)

An out and out bend up.

He didn't "steal" a march at the start Gary - he was handed won a plate..

Get in a straight line at Navan obviously means one behind the other and let the FAV get a 6 length start. Very dubious !

Par for the Irish course....

And surprisingly the ATR team have nothing to say about the start post race.
Carpet lifted, brush at the ready.

According to the forum there is a lot of skulduggery
why do we bother with this carp

Hadn't realised the winner was a 9yo maiden! People piling in at 6-4 must have known.

Interesting interview with Gordon Elliott before the 1.10 with GOB.  No mention of this fellow when Gary asked him his best chance of winner.  Named 3 others though!!

Typically hammered from 4/1 to 2/1 and scoots in.

Trainer obviosuly perplexed.... Mr Elliott won't even throw us a few crumbs

To be fair, I think the started said "in a single file after the fav, please,jockeys"

Give 'em a chance!

the starter had more on than the jockeys

What were all the other jockeys bar the rider of the heavily backed favourite doing then?


Making sure their contacts where getting on the fav

and Mick Fitzgerald says triers at the front non triers at the back doesnt happen anymore

i take it you all piled into the fav after 50yds then?

post your bets please.

fav winning post at start nearly

I did not have a bet on the race, Roida.
I don't bet on low grade handicap hurdles in Ireland because I don't know much about most of the horses.
Didn't like watching it though.

If Gordon Elliot told me it was Monday tommorrow id double check my calendar 1st.
He was trained at the Martin Pipe school of tell em(press) nothing

Triers to the front as one starter famously quipped in Ireland.
