Naas Sunday

What is you reason for laying an cathair mór?

Early look at those priced up.
3.10 - Tally em Up ew @ 6/1
3.45 - Thegreatjohnbrown ew @16/1
4.15 - Tranquil Sea - not sure if i'd back him, but def want to see a nice prep for the Ryanair.
5.20 - Araucaria - one of my bumper trio, have already laid off for a free bet, but still looking for a win.

tranquil sea tarvern times for me

I think ACM is a lay because first of all it's over 2m4f which he is unproven on....secondly he had a hard race lto and when you consider that from the third last home lto Dooneys Gate was around 15 lengths faster home.....that was because jockeys Russell, Walsh and McCoy got carried away on their mounts and got involved in a pace that was way too fast.

Won 2m 3f bumper at naas first time out i think

sorry it was a 2m bumper. He loves naas and prob wont even really need to stay to win

2-40
A very competitive handicap hurdle. Let's keep it simple, Show Blessed's form-figures at Naas are 211021.

3-15
Taravada jumped well first time over fences last time. Can only improve with BJG in the saddle. Looks good at 6s to turn over ACM in receipt of 7lb.

Thanks oddball.

To me its a poor renewal considering some of the precious winners.

An Cathair Mór has the best form in the book but agree that handing the extra 1/2 mile has to be taken on trust.

The extra 1/2 mile has to be taken on trust (AND while he deserves his extra 7lb too) still can't see one that beat him.

15:10 - 2m 4f Nas Na Riogh Novice Chase (grade 2)
An Cathaoir Mor (4/9) , Taravada (5) , Tally Em Up (7) , Copsiano (14) - Others 16 or more

15:45 - 2m 0f Novice Hurdle (grade 2)
Morning Supreme (9/4) , Pittoni (11/4) , Dr Whizz (3) , Coole River (8) - Others 10 or more

16:15 - 2m 0f Chase (grade 2)
Tranquil Sea (1) , Scotsirish (6/4) , Made In Taipan (10) , Mansony (12) - Others 16 or more



Spoils only prices so far

thinh he is a rock solid 1-2 shot

3.10 Pity its a poor renewal.........don't like 1/2 shot....

Wonder WHY they call it the grave yard ???

PP have prices too.. 4/1 Dr Whizz is gone already though ;\

2.10 No Selection
2.40 Show Blessed (E/W)
3.10 No Selection
3.45 Morning Supreme (NAP)
4.15 No Selection
4.50 Leading Diamonds (E/W)
5.20 No Selection

was just looking at the cards there and noticed the Probable SP for dr whizz 14-1

Nap selection is Tavern Times and think Tranquil Sea will win the Grade 2 two mile chase!

GOOD LUCK PUNTERS

Its fkn snowing X-( lying too ffs.

only a shower surely.. back Aracuria for Cheltenham tonight as he will waltz in tmrwo.

Last 50mins Bert. hopefully it stops soon.

take it eassee looks a very solid bet eway. Pittoni looks good value at 11/4 and if i was on course i would fancy Mansony without the front two. he is overpriced at 12s. Tranquil and scotsirish proned to mistakes. Mansony is a solid and experienced jumper who likes going left handed at places like naas/navan.

The form of the Tom Mullins yard would have to be a concern for those that fancy Some Slam, Dr Whizz & Tavern Times. Only 12 runners and no winner since 1st January, When his team were running well he had 3 winners from 8 runners in september & 7 winners from 23 runners in October. Since November he has had just 2 winners. Needs to reverse these trends tomorrow.

Heavy snow coming down now........not far from Naas.

8:00am inspection tomorrow.

Track currently unraceable.

It will more than likely be called off IMO.

** it ** it ** it **in weather.

Not looking great anyone nearby give us an Idea. Im in Dublin and its snowing for last hour

No chance of racing tmoro, if Tom Ryan tossed a double head coin it would land on tails...

looks 1.01 not to go ahead, it's p!ssing with snow and the track doesn't drain well. Shame

Naas set for Sunday inspection
Saturday, 20 February 2010 22:28
The Irish Turf Club has announced that there will be an 8.00am course inspection at Naas ahead of the scheduled fixture on Sunday, 21 February.

The course is currently unfit for racing due to a covering of snow.

Apologies to ybm who had already indicated this info...

Im told it has stopped and could make it. from local who is 20 mins from course

Any fresh info from the Naas area? Was the snowfall heavy?

NAAS will check the course again at 10am after finding it unfit for racing at an 8am inspection on Sunday

Naas to hold second inspection for Sunday
By racingpost.com staff 8:06AM 21 FEB 2010

NAAS will check the course again at 10am after finding it unfit for racing at an 8am inspection on Sunday.

The track called an inspection after snow fell at the course on Saturday.

Naas Off

will this be rescheduled

This afternoon's meeting at Naas has been abandoned due to snow.

After an inspection at 8am it was decided to look again at 10am in the hope that the overnight snow would thaw.

However, cloud cover meant temperatures were only rising slowly and the card, featuring the Woodlands Park 100 Nas Na Riogh Novice Chase, has been lost.

"It's gone I'm afraid," said the Turf Club's press officer Cliff Noone.

"They were hoping it would brighten up but it didn't and there is cloud cover now.

"It is overcast now so they've had to pull the plug."

If it is rescheduled they will probably have to put it on tomorrow as that is the only day that there is no other irish meeting on until Tuesday week.

NAAS racecourse manager Tom Ryan admitted on Sunday that there is little hope of the cancelled meeting being rescheduled for the coming week.

The meeting, which was due to feature the Woodlands Park 100 Nas Na Riogh Chase, Paddypower.com Novice Hurdle and Paddypowerpoker.com Chase, all Grade 2 contests, was cancelled after over an inch of snow overnight left the track unraceable.

Speaking just after midday on Sunday, Ryan said: "The schedule is already fairly full for next week. The temperature hasn't done much; much of the track at the moment is still covered in about an inch of snow.

"If we were thinking about racing tomorrow, I would have to be able to say the track would be raceable at about this time, but at this stage I'm unable to do that."

Ryan added: "We'll be applying for a new meeting and we'll discuss tomorrow about when we can do that."

Forecast is pretty bad for the rest of the week.
