Yeah i can see a pattern developing here.

English handicapper incompetent at allocating a fair racing weight???

Been happening too long now to draw any other conclusion than the Irish are generally on another level regards jumping , not just Cheltenham either.

Correct Hayden

Nice double on his birthday.

Carrot juice

Treble now

Cacique,you are starting to sound like Newlands a whinger , what about all the Irish horses who get beat over there, mustn't have had the juice eh..Time you copped on mate...

me being a whinger?

OP says they must be coming here with 20lbs in hand.

Is the english handicapper not able to allocate a fair racing weight so that they don't have 20lbs in hand?

And make it an enjoyable saturday's racing rather than having the constant reference to magic carrots/juice when the irish win races.

Sorry mate misread your post, as you rightly say to many on here bleating about the Irish winning , since when did the Gold Cup and Derby become handicaps if that's all we can win according to them..

These things seem to go in streaks & patches... who's hot now will be a pariah in a few years.

I remember a while back David O'Meara was rumoured to be going to Ballydoyle.

G Elliott a few years back could do no wrong, and Gigginstown were taking over the NH world

Bolger won the Dewhurst 3 years in a row and we had the horror that Erins Isle and Nordico breeding was going to be in vogue.


The English will be back on top when they get their act together.
Until then we should enjoy our success's as much as we can.

The paroquial outlook is really weird. As someone who loves horse racing, and punts on it I couldn't care less which country the winning horse is trained in.

Agree Cider , it's winning money that matters be it Outer Mongolia or Newmarket.

Agree with the last two posts, its about winning money and if its one of your own all the better..

Parochial even, deary me that first attempt was atrocious!
