Patriotic punting there down! Enjoy.

smart ride from jonny their!
|
|
By:
Awful stuff from Johnny there. :(
Small stakes mostly for a bit of fun GS. |
|
By:
Horse dwelt in stalls -what could Johnny do ?
Arguably VN might have won with a level break when you look at relative distances from the winner after a furlong and at the end. Funny how often O'Brien's runners have screwed up the start in the US. |
|
By:
Sorry lads. That happens too often for it to be coincidence. If he wants to improve his strike rate over there they have to hit the gate running not walking.
|
|
By:
Horse did come out slow, but Johnny should have tried to make up the gap, esp as it was a crawl of a pace, he didnt even move on the horse. Very poor.
|
|
By:
There's no one like Frankie. Horse racing couldn't wish for a better advertisment and is very lucky to have him. Damn shame he is riding crap for godolphin and has to sit back while the camel rides some of them aswell.
|
|
By:
yes jonny should hav made up the ground instantly, they went a crawl, maybe his clock was wrong on the speed of the race. Very bad.
|
|
By:
Am worried about mcm and the break, VN and Zen both slow away and lost, though both jockeys esp the yank could've done better. ATr right to slate the yank.

Beethoven got raped there............. by Murtagh! Unlucky.
|
|
By:
murtagh is a rite goat, totally wrecked beethoven at the first bend, he would hav went very close only for that. Talk about shooting ur stable in the foot.
|
|
By:
Totally agree lads!
|
|
By:
u hav to ask my moore didnt push on and take the rail position out of the stalls.
|
|
By:
Beethoven just didn't have the early pace.
|
|
By:
Quality stat there on the RUK feed. Apparently O`Brien trained 2002 Mile WINNER Landseer!
|
|
By:
broke down in the race didnt it
|
|
By:
Did Landseer not break a leg in that race, and the Rock just failed to get up from an impossible position.
|
|
By:
Exactly. Poor taste.
|
|
By:
C'mom MCM!!!!
|
|
By:
well done jonny again
|
|
By:
hit 1.21 in-running
|
|
By:
Mastercraftsman went from 1.2 to 1000 almost in an instant. Not sure the gap was there
|
|
By:
Wonder who was willing to bet 1/5 ? The horse has to my knowledge never displayed an instant turn of foot , which is what it needed to exploit a very temporary gap . Just one of those racing situations .
|
|
By:
A bit of research needed on here by the looks of things, before people criticise the American stats and comments on a horse.
They said Landseer won the 2002 Shadwell Turf Mile and NOT the Breeders Cup Mile. The Shadwell Turf Mile is run at Keenland and Landseer did win it. |
|
By:
My apologies. It did say that and you are correct. Although what that stat had to do with anything tonight is beyond me and it`s the reason why it threw me.
|
|
By:
Probably pointing out that Aidan has trained a winner of a significant Mile race in the States, as Weld gets far too much credit for his American raids compared to Ballydoyle.
No relevance in relation to a dirt mile race (that is not on dirt!). |
|
By:
As anti-climaxes go -this BC has to be right up there for Ballydoyle .
One scraped win in a marginal race . We thought it portended a triumphant campaign but the wheels came off one by one . Ah well -roll on St. Nicholas Abbey for 2010. |
|
By:
"We haven`t come here with a horse of this calibre before"
! Exactly what calibre do you speak of Aidan? |
|
By:
RVW was the first horse beaten and ran as if something was amiss.
Very strange . |
|
By:
Zenyatta !
Superb performance especially after the messing at the start . Rip was very poor . I backed thim the first time he ran , think he got the race on a disqualification at 3/1 . Never considered ever backing the horse again . Did not share connections enthusiasm about the horse ( ever ) . See the Stars would have won the Turf race easily . But like his connections I would not have run him in the Classic . Reckon most of the winners were on Lasix . Nuff said , even if some of them are excellent horses . |
|
By:
She might not be able to walk but she can certainly run!
Basically the bottom line after tonight is steer clear of his animals over there. When will he realise all those animals that were starring for him in the early noughties, were better than all those he`s hyped up since. Hope you won a few quid lads. Night. |
|
By:
The performance of Zenyatta was amazing.
But I agree the whole Balloydoyle effort tonight was poor. Mcm should have won! Rip was too bad to be true, Johnny had a mare! Lasix all the way next years! |
|
By:
next year its on dirt... europeans won't travel in the numbers they did the last 2years because of the polytrack...
