Has surprisingly passed inspection after being found unraceable yeaterday .Good card on what will be very testing ground .........
Tony Martin ws interviewed at Thurles the other day and marked down Hold the Pin as his best horse for the season .Goes in the first race .Being well backed this morning now 6/4 ...... I won t be backing him as i can t see any form on heavy ground ....... I dont know will he go on it as his bad runs on it were days that he probably wasn t trying .....so best to watch it ........Days hotel has form on heavy and if Henry de Bromhead has him raedy for first run he could be a good each way bet at 5 /1
Michael Hourigans Crash in the second race looks a cracking each way bet at 4/1 ladbrokes ....This fella has won a point to point on its first run , a bumper and a maiden hurdle all on heavy ground . Hourigan has stated that he is a chaser in the making and with the yard having a great run of things in the Giggenstown colours recently with wins for Ballysteen and Best Served Cold , i think he can put it up to giggenstowns other runner the odds on Stonemaster . I know Russell would ave had the choice of the two but the fact Hourigan has Barry Geraghty up tells me he ll be taking him on .....
Cairdin is also a great bet at 2/1 in the maiden hurdle . I backed this one in Listowel on heavy ground the last day and without trying to sound like i m talking through my pocket i thought Danny Mullins gave this one a very poor ride asking him to make up far too much on bad ground .The winner Viaduct Joey boosted the form by winning a handicap at Galway on Sunday . I thought Mullins also gave Marley Park a poor enough ride in Thurles last Thursday although he mighn t have been " off " . Either way i think Cairdin is a decent animal and would a proven ability to go on the ground i can t see him being beaten ..
good luck all
PS I see David Marnane sends one runner to Mussellburgh today for a maiden Golden Halo 9/4 ... Just touched off at Roscommon by ballydoyles Foot Soldier ( whom i see was bought by Charlie Swan for only 10k at Newmarket Horses in training sales this week
) .... Should go close to winning today

3.20 - Ten Fires @ 7/1 (Ground fine, stays further but on this ground i think the trip should be fine, if back to his best should go close)
Not at Punchestown but has an Irish theme, like the chances of Eyre Square at Haydock going back over fences today after winning a 3m hurdle at Hexham last time. |

By:
I suppose that's out key to take the 7/1 Beef To The Heels?

14:45 Carrigeen Lechuga E/W @ 12/1 for me.

Agree with you Dinglemick regarding Cardin lto surely won,t keep him so far off the pace today.
Make a track 3.55 Thought he ran a bit green at towester,pricked his ears coming up the hill,won admittedly poorish bumper in good style and looked to have a bit of improvement in him.Won other bumper in soft at Sandown which ought to say he,ll handle conditions. Irish Soul 5.00 Looks a free ew bet,opposition looks fairly mediocre. Cracking bumper,really liked the manner of Supreme Carolina,s win at Listowel,however burn and turn and misunited to a lesser extend were also impressive.Race to watch. good luck today. |

2.15 Days Hotel E/W
2.45 Stonemaster 3.55 Reizovic Depending on the above might back Cairdin. |
|
By:
Beef To The Heels will need a real stamina test to be seen at his best, made mistakes late on at Cloyne but was still running on strongly at the finish and have to say he won easily in the end. Presume he's been injured since but 3m+ over fences will be his forte IMO.
|

By:
I do like the fav in the first, but Dinglemick has tempered my enthusiasm, prob leave well alone, as the ground will probably be desparate. Cardin in the hurdle only bet then.
|
|
By:
Tony Martin's horse in the first will not mind the heavy ground........connections don't see it as a problem.

Markets are strong today

By:
dinglemick had a nibble as well I think.
|
|
By:

 apoligies for missing ye out  |

|
By:

By:
wtf was that layed the fav ...davy never gave me a moments worry
|
|
By:
Gigginstown wtf was that shocking rides!
|
|
By:
there s a boilover !!!.... jasysus i thought there was no know way cross appeal and imperial shabra could keep going at that gallop ..... very disapointed with crash ..seemed to be spending a lot of time in the air at his fences
|
|
By:
wd punchestown with the first one.
Don,t seem to be much coming from off the pace in the opening 2 O. Brady in his interview this morning on atr got first place in,seemed very bullish on his 3.55 runner(know its O.B.) |
|
By:
I had a feeling this would happen.
Stonemaster is a dire jumper....he is so slow and ponderous. He needs to step up to 3 miles if they want to ride him like that or ride him from the front in a 2 mile race to quicken up his jumping. |
|
By:
ruby,it would have helped if Davy would have shook the reins when the other pair disappeared off into the distance 6f out.
|
|
By:
That was a ride,if they think he is slow, why not ride him bit closer to pace, fickin clueless!
|
|
By:
yh i not arguing. i think he gave up and then he realised they went hard which was obvious and started to come back to him.
Hopefully he wont do the same with Charlie's Swans Beast |
|
By:
Hope so Ruby,backed 2nd string in that just in case wont be 1st time.
|
|
By:
He waited way too long to get after the horse,looked brutal as the horses in front of him were legless,he made up about 15 lengths in the straight.
|
|
By:
Yes I completely agree....if he moved him up even 2 more lengths before the last 3 flights he would have won. His Jumping is sooo bad when the pace quickens its scary. I learned after he was beaten few weeks ago not to trust him. Glad i stuck to that
|
|
By:
Ruby I thought his jumping had improved a bit from last year and today was no worse that anything around him,I think Russell kocked up there by thinking he had them covered in front but over did it as opposed to anything ulterior.
Rides like that put people off the game. |
|
By:
I going to disagree about the jumping but Russell really did get the fractions wrong. No arguement
|
|
By:
Elliott horse getting backed now for Giggy
|
|
By:
sure is Ruby, been backed steadily since about 11 from 7/1 down
C'mon Beefy!! |
|
By:
