Opinions?

By:
wont be suprised if both get legged over and wont be backing samcro or fakir ! of the 2 i would slightly favour samcro who although prob way overhyped is a festival winner and has very good form .fakir was getting the age allowance in his last 3 or so hurdles races and although running well didnt win any of them . good luck acey .

By:
Will not be betting on the race but would definitely side with Fakir D`oudairies.
|
|
By:
It's a great clash and I am really looking forward to it along with the other Grade 1s.
|
|
By:
yes a great days racing 3 grade 1s and a grade 3 with many very promising horses to look forward to and cheltenham pointers no doubt
|
|
By:
Does fakir look like it's crying out for 2m 4f? Both impressive chases debuts, 5yo allowances are more often than not the swaying factor. Fakir just, but with no great confidence. GL Acey.

I mean I wont be breaking the bank here so it wont be a big deal if he does get beat...But it's races like this that really gets me excited.
|
|
By:
dont think its a 2 horsa tbh ,the mullins pair need respecting one a national winner and although prob better over further has exp and looked very good at fairyhouse ,can willie improve the hendo cast off ?
|
|
By:
Novice chasers so nothing would surprise me...
Burrows Saint could nick several at the start and they never see him again...Ronald Pump finished off his race very well at the course last time out. Fakir with his allowance. But I’ll side with Samcro...legit excuse with the lung infection last year and we always thought he Might have the potential to be high class over fences. |

By:
Gut feeling tells me Samcro wont be Winning.

Best of luck today Acey, Is a great card, Mainly for viewing purposes rather than betting unless you're looking for prices.
I'll admit I've had a go at Ferny Hollow for March, People have been very excited for this ones debut so I'm hoping they have it right. The Royal Bond should be a cracker too, Midnight Run looks the value call but how can anyone oppose Envoi Allen, He just has that swagger about him. |

By:
I think it's a disappointing turnout considering the prize money on offer. I would favour Samcro myself though won't be easy with the weight allowance Fakir gets. Honeysuckle is the one i am most interested in watching today. Only a 5yr old but could be a real star in the making.

Samcro

|
By:
Fakir for me.
|
|
By:
2/1 samcro on here (at one stage) is a big price imo
actually thought it might be fav today and think it will win but obv a couple of real dangers gl chaps |
|
By:
fakir a brilliant jumper for a 4 year old.
 |
|
By:
Shame we didnt see the end result.
|
|
By:
samcro looked to be travelling better
|
|
By:
Was building up nicely....
|
|
By:
what happened ?
|
|
By:
 wd fav backers |
|
By:
Fakir a brilliant jumper, but MP Walsh a much underrated jockey too. Got the horse jumping like that, and made sure he took full advantage of it.
|
|
By:
Yes,some round of jumping for Fakir,think Samcro was going better too though.
|
|
By:
Samcro was travelling well but I reckon Fakir would had outbattled him. Be worried Samcro is injured their.
|
|
By:
Samcro would have trounced the eventual winner.
|
|
By:
my type of jumper but seat of pant stuff for jockey and punters around chelters,
 |
|
By:
Had the winner but Samcro was tanking and I've no doubt he would've won. But that's what the fences are there for.
|
|
By:
Where is Davy Russell when you need him
|
|
By:
They should put winner back to 2 miles, will win The Arkle.
|
|
By:
Dont usually jockey bash...but you could have anyone in the world bar other jocks taking part...and youve got Kennedy on
|
|
By:
jockey reaction on samcro says it all, punched the ground in frustration
winner was being rousted along samcro still to be asked the question but fakir jumped brilliant and the fences are there to be jumped which samcro unfortunately didnt |
|
By:
Not sure who would have won. If the last 2 fences were not there it would have been Samcro but he was giving away 2 lengths at every fence by jumping slowly so I think Fakir would still have won. He ran very strongly through the line. Fakir won't be getting 8lb at Cheltenham but I would put Samcro's chance of completing in any novice chase at Cheltenham at 6/4 against.
|
|
By:
No jockey error there.
|
|
By:
Samcro only looked comfortable when aloud to stride out and attack a fence and would has p1ssed home once asked for his effort after the 2nd last
|
|
By:
acey knew.
 |
|
By:
fair play to Samcro but jumping is the name of the game.
