Anybody who replaces David Russell with Matt O Connor doesnt deserve to have winners.Its a vastly over rated animal anyway and always was even from its earlier days.Anytime its ran against good horses it was put firmly in its place.Owners are fickle and are always looking for excuses and with Colm there will never be a shortage of excuses.

Cannot disagree too much with that jimeen.

No doubting Russell's ability in the saddle, but as a person, I cannot abide him.

Trip looks far too short for the horse anyway and he has no right to get near the fav.
Report CailiniDeas8 January 16, 2010 9:09 PM GMT
Russell has ridden some shocking races in the past 6 months.
Report Distant View January 16, 2010 9:09 PM GMT
Hardly fair to say the owners, unless you have been speaking to a few of them. I would be very surprised if many of them have conveyed their thoughts about any race that he has run in to people that would be in a position to highlight it in public.

Not necessarily so CD.

Big fan of Davy's and he's had some great rides in the past year, but he's also had some awful ones too.
Sam Adams the last day was either very poor or very wrong!
Report thegalwayman January 16, 2010 9:19 PM GMT
Good point joe. Well articulated.
Report Distant View January 16, 2010 9:20 PM GMT
Very true downallstar.

Sam Adams strikes me as a horse that could be a well weighted animal in the Irish Grand National this year. How they go about getting his optimum weight allocation is another matter.
Report Diamond_Joe_Quimby January 16, 2010 9:22 PM GMT
Ok i dont think Russell is as bad as some make out in his "intentions", but personally just my opinion, i feel hes below top class. Good few jockeys who i would have up before him. I think hes over rated. He rides to his ability though imho.
Report Distant View January 16, 2010 9:25 PM GMT
Excellent horseman. Of that there is no doubt.

Judged purely by his skill in the saddle, he is very much in the upper echelon of riders in the past 15 years.

thought he put up excellent display today, aslong as he travels over well and goes for the RSA his in with a big shout. The winner is a very good animal and Vinny beaten over a length is ground that he hated.

Iam excited!

I know he has more odds on shots than any other stable. But I`d be pretty sure he has a disproportionate amount of losers to winners also. Just as well he`s not a punters fav!

Not sure about the stats on that GS. The instructions/riding tactics were**s there tbh.

Yeah agree with most of that norn. Understandable to a degre after the fall the last day though frustrating for backers.

What was going on in Larne Newry game? Some handbags.

Report Distant View January 18, 2010 3:40 PM GMT
Does The Midnight Club not get in off a lighter weight in the NH Chase if he has not won a chase before hand?

I would be leaving him alone for betting purposes until the festival if that is the case.

Report Swinia January 18, 2010 4:10 PM GMT
I've stated for a long time that Mullins must be crazy putting Cousin Vinny over hurdles and now fences??? he has a very awkward action imo and struggles to get his feet right to land running.... the horse clearly has a very good engine because he lost 3 or 4 lengths at every fence yesterday and also still finished close to 2 very good novices.... furthermore he's all heart and has a good attitude for the game...

if he were mine i'd be aiming him at the big flat handicaps and possibly even the Melbourne cup if things went his way..... Mullins trained Sesanta successfully over the flat, i'd let this fellow follow suit
Report CailiniDeas8 January 18, 2010 5:38 PM GMT
Distant View is there any website where the conditions for various races are available? The BHB site is a labyrinth.

Non winners get in 4lb lighter for the nh race i think.
