have they fooooked this horse up.....the biggest hype horse for a while......ran it in glue like ground at fairyhouse at easter wher it trailed in 8th when first horse beaten,wins a poor bumper at listowel and they send it straight over fences where it falls at the first....this could heardly be installing a big pile of confidence in the beast....has the ship sailed with the big money offers for this horse.....i would think so....

Ur incorrect. In fact thy have done nearly everything right. Thy has him since foal.

By:
still dont think they will get anything near what they were allegedly offered for the horse......
|
|
By:
That's not what matters. Owners not in it for quick buck. Even if a horse lines up in a grade one it will be worth it for them or most owners. Just relax and see how he will do ;)

i hope im wrong jumping but i would be sceptical about the horse after today....i thought a few runs over hurdles wuda been a better prep rather than the big limerick fences....but thats just my opinion.....
|
|
By:
Now would be the perfect time for Jp to step in with an offer
 |
|
By:
richters,thats easy to say after he's fallen today,Connections obviously think he's an out and out chaser and dont see the point in wasting any time getting him over fences,Remember connections of Joncol done the same,and he wasn't too bad
|
|
By:
florida pearl never went over hurdles either.
|
|
By:
Limerick does take some jumping though maybe could have picked an easier debut over fences.
|
|
By:
Tbf the horse did not fall!!!!

barry geraghty on twitter to coleman sweeney yes morning....i jumped 7 fences on him fri plenty of scope u taught him well......coleman sweeney to BJG.....if in doubt go long......
|
|
By:
They were really racing going to the first, looked to me that both Carberry and Geraghty wanted to make it, flying into the first wasn't ideal
|

By:
1st time over regulation fences.he wont be the ist or the last....so u took a short price,u wont do that again
|
|
By:

 |
|
By:

Ground not the reason it was beaten, it had sustained a injury before that race....very rare horses coming from points are impressive in bumpers. Chasing is its game, unbelievably quick times in its points, winning half the track. When it unseated, it looked like they were going to the 1st in the national...they were flying, just one of those things... As for JP making an offer...... no chance, the horse is not for sale & P Hughes will not part with it......he thinks its the best hes trained! |
|
By:
I wouldn't write this horse of at all......top class point to point form is king.
|
|
By:
He won't be sold because no-one would offer Pat Hughes what he thinks he is worth. He has a huge engine and Sunday was a blip. Not the first good horse to fall in Limerick. I remember The Midnight Club doing nearly the same a few years ago there. This horse is capable of going a long way and I hope he proves it in the next few years.
|
|
By:
He won't be sold because he keeps on getting spun.
|
|
By:
They have turned down a fair amount for it!
|
|
By:
They are mad to turn anything down this horse has problems.
I respect both Allduckornodinner and Koikeeper and know them to be good judges of point a point horses but too many trainers have rejected him and time is moving on he is rising seven. |
|
By:
dont mind these pointing prixx.....they think every horse that runs in points is the next pegasus.....the horse isnt worth a shiite......hes heading for 7 years of age......cant jump.....in gammy hands......has never beat a horse......these fellows that go to points wouldnt know their arrse from a hole in the ground.....totally clueless......when first lieutenant turned up in a crap bumper in gowran one day.......they were afraid to back it at evens......when teelin star turned up in a good one......they steamed in to it......
|
|
By:
have to agree with bobby.
the hype surrounding this horse is some of the worst ive seen. 'could teelin star be the best ever' thread on the main forum for example  apparently they couldve gotten 400k and yet hes won NOTHING, beat nothing, fell at the first in his beginners chase and comfortably beat in a couple of bumpers. you only get 100k for winning the hennessy  |
|
By:
agree with bobby and ilwab.....time will tell.....
|
|
By:
yep he will hopefully get his chance to show how good he is but as mentioned 'best ever?' after a couple of points.
|
|
By:
if he won sunday he was supposed to be sold for big money.i wouldnt give up on him yet by a long stretch..
|
|
By:
are the figures bein touted true iyo kavvie....i certainly wont be rushing to back him again....he runs very keen for my liking.....i hoped to be proved wrong....
|
|
By:
i just heard that he was sold if he won sun.i backed him, i was in a pub and i didnt heed it til the final circut...no sign of him
|
|
By:
oh they wanna sell now?
thats enough. |
|
By:
that kind of contradicts jumpings post....they are in it for the right reasons and not to make a quick buck....
|
|
By:
They are running around and into every corner trying to sell him as of last week but the last I heard they were still think in terms of 300k+, so any decent offer has been refused, if there were any.
Not in a million years should anyone pay 1/3 of that price. |
|
By:
oh dear.........where do they go from here?
|
|
By:
what is the horse worth now?
|
|
By:
Maybe it burst. It went out like a light.
|
|
By:
oh deer......
|
|
By:
That was embarressingly bad in every department.
|
|
By:
its a PIG of the highest order pa,they have hyped this horse up through every avenue,hughes ,sweeney,the media,sweeney once saying to bjg enjoy your flight on teelin airways......
|

By:
They shoulda taken the money....
Always take the money! |

At least connections of Old Kilcash got a touch...Another aeroplane from the pointing fields....
