duffy i put up eit on his hurdles debut last year in this very race at 100/1 ,finished 3rd ,did i back it yesterday ,sadly we know the answer !

By:
If Facile Vega is all right then the next question is whether he should be switched to the Ballymore where the race will be run at a less frenetic gallop.

By:
We see these abysmal filthy shock results from Henderson, Mullins and Bromhead etc over jumps on a regular basis, makes profitable punting almost impossible these days, never known the sport look as corrupt as it has done in recnet years. Proper punters seething the way the sport has declined.

By:
If they happen on a regular basis basil then why not back the 2nd strings or maybe 3rd strings or more if applicable now and again , that way you'd require an extremely low strike rate to make a decent profit as opposed to backing shorties on the way to the nearest poor house.
Best of luck  |

Think it was the Spring Juvenile but in any case, and it won't be any consolation I know  , you should give yourself some credit for spotting the talent way back then. |

Hayden.....backing the stables second or third string, and backing the outsider in small fields seems the way to go these days, I always adapt to the current trends so dont do too badly, doesnt inspire confidence in the sport for the average punter though mate.
|
|
By:
Entirely agree mate , been integrating strategies based on that thinking since 2007.
Also disregarded what the average punter thought or what was good for the sport many years ago and practiced what worked for me. Good luck tonight |
|
By:
Good luck mate, only bet tonight is Blackburn to win.
|
|
By:
Never had a bet or followed soccer at all basil , too slow a sport for me and too long periods when nothing at all happens.
Hope they win for you |

FV most impressive performances (Cheltenham & Punchestown Champion bumpers) came when being ridden much more patiently than for the 2 hurdle wins and Sunday's blowout. I'd be inclined to completely disregard Sunday's result.
|

By:
If they ride him as they did in those 2 races, I'm confident he'll restore his reputation in the Supreme.
|
|
By:
The Supreme is normally run at a million miles an hour because all the jocks are buzzed up for the opening race. If Facile Vega needs a steadily-run race, he should switch to the Ballymore. He'd still have the option of the Champion Hurdle next year.
But first you'd want the Closutton vet to give him the all-clear; Facile Vega stopped very quickly on Sunday. |

By:
Don't think it will make Cheltenham myself but time will tell.

Predictably all the talk is the FV run with little consideration to the three horses that were also going a strong pace, pace quicker, you'd think that FV and HD had raced 15 legths clear and cut each others throats, truth is that Il Etait Temps were never far away and the winner was still on the bridal late on and stayed very well to the line...monster performance IMO, he's just fashionable so isn't getting the credit he deserves.
Run this race and State Man's side by side and the three in behind FV and HD were all travelling through the race faster than State Man. |

Maybe Willie will look back on his little tantrum with regret now

Agree with Duffy .All the focus on the underperforming Facile. If he had put up the performance Il Etait T, had he would be 2/5 for Supreme.Il Etait was still cantering despite the strong pace and quickened @ the last beating some smart performers in behind in a fast time. Dark Raven was 10 lengths behind who won @ xmas with Viva Devito beaten 18 lengths . Viva won 20 odd lengths in a hack canter yesterday. Irish Point just caught on the line by Marine Nationale in the Royal Bond just couldnt go the pace and finished a never nearer 16 lengths behind Il Etait Temps.

eye been watching hoarse racing for 50yrs..there no way visually that vega ran wiv its choke out... and i daint kare what mull and towned say to the kontrary.
|
|
By:
the winner was only 5 or 6 lengths behind Facile @ most. If Facile was supposedly racing way too fast then so was It Et... Temps and he wouldnt have been cruising coming to the last if that was the case.

I said it on the day that it finished like a sick horse,simply no way it folds that tamely in the full of its health.
Townend admitted he went too fast in an interview after the race but said that it wouldn't fully account for such a dismal performance. |
