Over the last 16 Mar 15:47
how can Quevaga be race fit if she hasn't run since last year Horses make fools of us. Some good tipping there lads. Race 1) Menorah. Plenty of shouts 4 this one. Ernst was first up. Race 2) Sizing Europe. Andrew Lynch at the Chel preview last week said he was catching pigeons. Anthony Bromley said at the preview ignore Captain Ceebee as its jumping was woeful that night. Race 3) Chief Dan George. Not tipped up here. Anthony Bromley said it was between The package and Bensalem. How far would that of won had he stayed on his feet. Race 4) Binocular. Tipped up here at least once. Race 5) A New Story. Well done, Norn, Prospero, and others Race 6) Quevega. Over The Last horses always make us eat our words!! :) |

Did Bromley mention the new Kauto Star?
|
|
By:
yes he did. He says its a cert despite the jockey. He bought that and Punchestowns.
He said Master Minded was the nap. He said if you were going to put 250 on it, double it up. |

Same to you mate. That will be a few pounds for you to drown the shamrock..
Putting 50 on chelsea tonight. Left L'ami out of the place pot in error. It cost me only a tenner in the end but i said I would lay quevega to get it back. That has me down 30. So Chelsea at 4/6 gets me that back DV. Sizing Europe, The Package and Khyber Kim in an e/w Lucky 15 got me a few bob back too. |

Shakervilz, who was an intended runner in the Irish Independent Arkle Trophy on Tuesday and who is also entererd for the RSA Chase on Wednesday, will alsomiss the festival.
maybe they are sorry now. Walked all over Osana at Navan a few weeks ago.. That form would have put him close to sizing europe. |

menorah sizing ogee medermit garde champetre quevega three for Ireland there and i'm not irish Apologies sir. Very Good picking. Give me four for my Lucky 15 tomorrow please in the first four races. you the man!! |
|
By:
Norn, give me your Lucky 15 too please.
I am hitting Gowran on sat. Good luck in Uttoxeter. We have a good record in that long distance race. |
|
By:
ha! thanks for the belated mench.
I am all in on Long run tomorrow and will be keeping my stakes small elsewhere. I believe it could produce the performance of the festival. I fancy Drumbaloo for the bumper but you guys will know better than me for that race. I take it as a negative that PPower are best priced (8s) against it to be perfectly honest. Norn Iron is a better bet to go through the card - wd to him and good luck to everyone tomorrow. Did well to get three Irish winners despite Dunquids, CCB and GC going down. |
|
By:
Patrick Mullins at a recent preview said he cant have Drumbaloo. He told me on Sunday he should be on Dayofalifetime. Havent checked the bumper myself yet.

Much of the race revolved around last year´s imperious Champion Bumper winner Dunguib, who had gone from strength to strength since embarking on his hurdling career, culminating in a bloodless win in the Deloitte at Leopardstown last month. That success caused plenty of debate about how his jumping would stand up here, as he was sluggish at his hurdles, and there was also the other matter of his usual pilot Barry O´Connell, who had yet to even ride in a race over jumps outside of Ireland. Well backed, he was restrained early on, as he had been on his previous outing. It seemed clear that the tactics were to keep him wide, surely in order to give him a clear sight of his obstacles, but his jumping was sufficient and clearly too much had been made of it after his previous win. It was O´Connell´s decision to keep him right on the outside of runners, just as the first pair were going for home turning in, that ultimately found him out, and he lacked the turn of foot on this quicker surface to make up the deficit the manoeuvre cost him.
It may well be that time will tell hehas run close to his previous level in defeat, but surely had he saved more ground early on he would have got closer to them where it mattered. He will now likely head for the Punchestown Festival and his trainer is inclined to stick to the novice route. |

Even the racing post recognises they fcuked it up.

By:
Agreed Ace.
No point in going the scenic route just cos you think you are on the best hoss. |
|
By:
Chelt is just far too competitive for anything to go wrong, or get anything wrong tactically. Seems like Fenton listened to much to all the negative comments re the jumping and wouldn't just let the horse run a normal race up the inside.
If Ruby & Nicholls had Dunguib, he'd have won today imo. |
|
By:
If he went the shortest way round on the inner and jumped poorly because he wasnt getting a sight of his hurdles, the same mugs would be crucifying him for giving a "dodgy jumper" a "brainless" ride. The horse wasn't good enough on the day, if he had won by a length under the same ride how many people would be commenting on how wide he was?
|
|
By:
He had the hoss way too far back as well.
The old adage "You can give weight but not distance" comes to mind here. |
|
By:
That was just bad luck. They clearly analysed the race, as we all did, and thought there would be plenty of pace, so they took the decision to drop him out. As it turns out, they didn't go quick at all and O'Connell was stuck. He couldn't risk firing up a hard pulling horse by asking him to take closer order after a few furlongs. All told, a combination of factors conspired against him, but was he finishing like a horse that would have hacked up under different circumstances? Not for me. In fact, he was weakening slightly at the finish. Just not the same horse today for whatever reason.
