Scholars Mate is another one. In fairness todays lad probably had 8-10lbs in hand of his handicap mark on his best form without even accounting for any possible improvement that the change of scenery would produce. However he hasn't shone well in the last 12 months at least. Sent to carlow and dots up on his first start. Hard to know what willie is doing that is so much better than what trainers like colm murphy are doing. This lad will win again if he gets a stone or less of a hike.

Whats so hard to know about WP and what he can do ffs.When something is too good to be true its because usually it is.Florida Pal is a horse to look out for in a maiden hurdle for WP.He should have no bother winning one seeing that he has done so already.Maybe hardly anybody else cant train horses anymore but forgive me for being a sceptic.

I know what he does..when I heard it I was like oh man that is some edge..it wasnt a Irish man that told me either

The RP was worth its weight in gold today.
A marvellous in depth stable tour of all WP's horses along with Hobbs, F Murphy, and G Moore. What a sparkling crop of horses he will be going to war this winter. He also mentions the bumper horses he thinks that could be cheltenham types. WP is a credit to the NH profession and a gentleman to boot. Mind you its Tom and Patrick who have had two sparkling bumper winners in the past week. Tavern Times an Dr Whizz. Willie could be playing catch up to Tom in the bumpers this season!! |

Speaking of F Murphy - Elzahan and Naiad Du Misselot were eyecatchers at Cheltenham

Watch My Back ran well too, looks like he will win again on a flatter track where he will jump better

lets see the opposite works.
owner martin lynch has parted company with wp and moved, i am told, his 7 horses to gordon elliott, including obviously serpentaria, festival winner jessies dream and borrowaddy. |
|
By:
no fall out either
|
|
By:
Sign of the times, lads going where its cheaper, get a better deal?
Plenty of Irish horses in training being sold across the water too. |
|
By:
No lads, I was told it is to be nearer to his horses.
Also stable visits I reckon would be more relaxed too. |
|
By:
owner took horses closer till his home place apparently not well
|
|
By:
Both Serpentaria and Meath All Star appear to have taken steps back from the form shown with Mullins last season on their first starts for Elliot at Punchestown last week.
I hope Jessies Dream doesn't go the same way as I'd been looking forward to him. |
|
By:
I wouldnt judge them on the first run for a new trainer Prospero and the drift on Meath Allstar says it all imo. Elliot is one of the best at getting something out of a horse not that there would be anything to find after Mullins though :) Was at Nass Sunday and the boys involved in Thousand Stars had some cash down
|
|
By:
might keep them out of NAMA
|
|
By:
I think Mullins is a nice bit better than the rest at the moment though he obviously has much more fire-power. Agree it would be harsh to judge the Lynch pair on their first start but Serpentaria was disappointing no matter what way you cut it; she was well punted on ground that suited and has a record of going well fresh in the past but went out like a light.
Elliot is hardly a complete retrograde step for the Lynch horses though and he should at least make Jessies Dream a betting proposition this term though it could equally be argued that you might be better backing at a shorter price knowing he is trained by a master of the profession. |
|
By:
Looking fwd to seeing Gungadu run for Elliot.
|
|
By:
I backed Serpentaria myself but I think she may not have been ready for the race or else all is not well with her. Its unusual for ruby to be that handy in a race in ireland and she has never stopped like that before so I think it may have only been a run to bring her to full fitness. As for Meath All Star he obviously wasn't strongly fancied and would want a longer trip. I think Borrowaddy and in particular Jessies Dream will make good novive chasers this season.

Serpentaria anthing over 2m an shes cooked

Greyhound trainers syndicate unlucky not to land that 3 yo hurdle with another WP recruit
|
|
By:
Yes noticed he is now training for leading doggy trainer Paul Hennessy.
|
|
By:
Bio serpentaria won somewhere over 3 miles if im not mistaken, wasn't the trip that caught her anyway
|
|
By:
Perhaps Serpentaria is best in the Spring while shes won over 21/2 and 3mls.

Paul Kristian
showed decent form when coming second under very tender handling to the smart novice chaser Let Yourself Go in a Limerick maiden hurdle in March 2008. His jockey was later banned for 50 days for insufficient effort and can be rated better than his bare Racing Post Rating of 122. No entries yet. Beroni ran some good races in defeat, including when third to the smart Merchent Paddy at Leopardstown in a Grade 2. He had tended to cut out in his races but if Mullins can imbue him with some extra stamina or find the root of his problem, then he looks well-treated off 119 and they also have the option of reverting to hurdles as he's still a maiden in that sphere. Entries on Monday (Hdl) & Thursday (Ch). |

By:
Best trainer in Ireland by some way - knows what to look for in a horse.
That Hammer and Trowel Syndicate have some serious machines :) Anyone know who Mikael D'Haguenet's owner "Mrs S. Ricci" is? |
|
By:
DI
Wonder is "Normal service resumed" ????? or was he just great |
|
By:
Mrs S Ricci is the wife of a guy called Rick Ricci who is an American that is a big cheese with Barclay's in London.
