robbie power

See the end of the "recuperating the xmas expenses" thread for a bit of a flavour.

Just needed to Carpe Diem

in his defence the horse was a bit disappointing,but a poor effort all the same from the chap,he did have a few days off to ponder how the race would pan out,surely race in second 5 or 6 off the fav would of got him home,,id say our rob isnt the sharpest tool in the box..

paulie walnuts-your post seems to be riding two horses in the one race?

to make it more simple for you,,oscar would of won with a good ride today,he didnt get one hence the opening post,,robbie was found wanting again on the big day,,

I am not sure he would have,tho there is no doubt "Puppy" should have had him closer,in my opinion the fav was idling in front and don't think they closed at all in the final furlong.

---------------------------------------
Thought the horse ran its race today,it traveled  and jumped well on the whole and stayed on well in the straight.

punchestown,why was it ridden completely different to the last day?

What did you all want him to do? Take on Arvika Ligeonaire up front? Sit handy and well clear of the rest? Perhaps he couldn't go the pace of the winner early?

Just wondering.

And would you not be disappointed with how close Baily Green finished to him or would you put that down to a poor ride?

kavvie,tis all water under the bridge at this stage but I'm at a loss to explain it,I suppose Townend was always going to lead in this race but it was the amount of rope allowed that is what's the issue from what I can see,wouldn't be concerned by the proximity of Baily Green at the death as it has clearly improved.

It's like Power never saw Arvika Ligeonniere's last dominating run at Fairyhouse.

im a fan of the horse and i was disapointed with the ride.

Nice positive ride there thought the horse won pulling a train.

power is a plank!no brains and no talent and will fck up ,thats what hes  good at
