naas tomorrow ...

Actually think Marito is the proverbial...jumped well on its debut & the one that will be suited best to the 2m with ground no problem,

MOUNT BENBULBEN & JENARI need farther, & with both, the jumping leaves a lot to be desired....neither of them are naturals...just cant see then having the pace to trouble Marito & can see them readily outpaced at the business end...if they are still on their feet.

I think Mount Benbulben has jumped progressively worse with each run over fences. I couldn't touch him with his recent record. Mullins horse in the first didn't look no great shakes in Gowran but looks like he'll draw all the same. Interesting card but like Thurles the favs aren't bomproof in the main for me.

We could be in for a quality winner in the bumper by all accounts.

Is it the Tiger Hill gelding?

Yeah

Upazo looks a lay in the first today,he looked terribly one paced at Gowran and the form was let down by the winner in Limerick.

hes very short indeed ..maybe this could be one for the boys ...i'm going but shall leave this race alone....

He is owned by Sidney as well as Alberts son.

enough said...could be a sting in the tail ....

Wonks & wildman is this theory of yours been tested today? Just asking before you clog up the forum with more aftertiming !

Great call, wildman, thanks...........

mount benbulben clearly the best horse in the race..maybe best to keep him to hurdles for the moment.

Great run by Mount Benbulben,looked like he was going to get up

not over 2m!

A tiny bet on King of Ardcarne ew in the 3:05 at Naas at a fancy price.

a 24 hr shift on here 4 u rocket.....u must of been up all night watching your losing nfl selections and drinking plenty of coffee.......

Champagne  and weld double

That didn't go to plan

Champagne too bad to be true.

Ruby caught up in a speed duel in the Naas mud - I thought that only happend to apprentices and American Jockeys

I think Lead Kindly Light will run well in the next

I think Lead Kindly Light will run well in the next

Did run well,thought it had a great chance turning in.

Not Barry G's finest moment in the saddle, a lot to ask a mare to find 4 lengths after the last in any race

Got a bit baulked turning in when things tightened up,unlucky but you would have expected it to pick up the other horse after the last.

The Irish Field ‏@TheIrishField
Champagne Fever was found to be suffering from a respiratory tract infection following his run in the Slaney Novice Hurdle

1.01 backers of the hotpot in the last had a fright there

Gareth Malone was BRUTAL on the 2nd in the bumper.  Would have won with a jockey on board.

i think its only right and proper that wr and tony are banned from putting up threads on the next days irish racing.if we were stupid enough to follow these pair of mug punters we will all end up in a caravan!

well lads i thought he'd got up from were i was standing , delighted to see the improvement in his jumping , i was speaking to someone close to the horse who told me they had done intensive schooling with him...it showed , still a little left to work on , he jumped a few to his right , if they can iron that out its all systems go....i'd say they were delighted with that performance.....

Just noticed he lost his irons inside the distance so shortie backers dodged a bullet there.

i was standing not far from a punter who took the odds , boy was he a worried man near the finish....

doing a lot of standing today w.r.....is their no seats at naas mate.....lol......

i always stand at naas richters ..one of the best tacks for watching racing , i must admit its hard going walking all the way to the parade ring then back down to what used to be the old stand all day....i'll need a good rest before my next outing....

I see you're a racing post reader Wildman, well tipped us as a lay today in it.

coco , give the weatherman a call and give us all a laugh ...mind were you put that pin ..we dont want alice getting a little prick now do we....

Busy trading the NFL wonks, i don't have time to play. Get Wildman to read some more fo the RP to you, he's very good at it.

I hope you had a wry smile Workrider as you watched Mount Benbulben knowing everything and I mean everything you said about him turned out to be true.He obviously has been well schooled and it showed,thought he was ridden to jump round and would have beaten Marito if he was ridden into the last,I am not complaining as they were getting the horse to jump without putting it under pressure but he has some engine and ran a great race.
Champagne Fever was obviously sick so draw a line through that form.
Punchestown is right about Gareth Malone he was very poor on Totally Dominant,got the horse running and was taken to the outside by Exterminate but then he managed to get him to duck back under the whip,he followed this by going for a crazy gap up the inside,while bulldozing his way through there he lost his iron and just failed to get up.Grecian Tiger got tired in the dreadful ground and looked unimpressive but I feel he was in front too long and will be much better on better ground.

Workrider did you take much notice of Dawerann in the ring before the bumper? I thought it was interesting that someone wanted to get matched at 20's on here last night for a few quid as you'd expect a runner from the yard in a 4yo bumper in January to be at least double that. They didn't collect obviously but he looked to run a nice enough race looking at it on tv and I can imagine he'll probably improve for the experience.

What will you tip next week Wildman the pricewise selections?

It seems to hurt you that once again my lay of the day got beaten.

It was not your lay of the day it was the Boyles representitive Paudi Hassett on page 11 of the RP

There are a host of tipsters and writers in the Racing Post so there is bound to be a convergence although they would never do what you used to do tip something on here and then tip another on another forum to lock in a success.

Sorry Wildman got the wrong person for your makey up stories, i always back my opinion, sometimes i'm right sometimes i'm wrong but i'm always definite. I rarely post a football tip anymore

Wildman my own opinion re Mount Belbulben is that Davy Condon can't settle him. Carberry finally got a hold of him today and he ran his best race yet. If his jumping continues to improve I could see him betting a bit pot in one of the handicaps at Cheltenham where settling won't be any issue. Clearly all talk of Graded races is at an end now. He is a good 2 mile handicapper in the making, no more

in fairness rf ,let wildman bore have his moment. he put up a winner.wr and his cohorts are heading for a caravan park...

He is a good 2 mile handicapper in the making, no more


really??

The reason you don't post football tips is they all lost.
Lustrum don't disagree with you with regards Davy Condon but think Mount Benbulben is a lot better than a handicapper.

He is a good 2 mile handicapper in the making, no more

1 Mount Benbulben

Tracked leaders on outer, progress to dispute lead 4f out, ridden to lead entering straight, went clear 1f out, stayed on strongly

2  Lovethehigherlaw   

tracked leader in 2nd, dropped to last but in touch 4f out, closed again into 3rd and ridden entering straight, drifted left from 1 1/2f out, went moderate 2nd


Think you'll (we'll) find out later in the season.

Not true but seeing as you're making things up about me on this thread you may as well continue.

where exactly were you standing workrider,was there with the wife today had M/B at 11/2 and thought it was getting up from where i was standing yes it jumped out right at a few didn't get away from the last as could have done deffinitely best horse from the race

Champagne Fever you know the one they thought was the bees knees?, yet the horse went off at 16/1 at Cheltenham suggests no real stable confidence?, granted the Cheltenham bumper form has worked out well, guys tipping this one up for the festival as if it was the 2nd coming of Istabraq?, was it the trip today or is the horse simply over hyped and simply not good enough or is the trainer pulling yet another fast one?

read all the thread

Forgive me dec for not reading it all as I'm so use to running into childish stalkers that I couldn't be arsed.

well i tell u sil,i think that was a stroke,btw i had no interest in the race,i never back odds on shots.thats a classic wm imo

thats the attitude sg

decalec ,    i was in the old stand as it was known years ago...about half a furlong from the finish , as he passed me i thought he was getting there ,if he'd jumped the last well he'd have won , i also heard they were thinking of letting him make the running , but what swayed them was they knew 2 others were going to set off at a fair clip...so maybe barry looks in here ....paul gave him confidence today by letting him see his fences ..cant wait till they let him off the leach ...allduck got held up and only reached the paddock as the jocks mounted , never caught sight of him tbh...the few i did see were the fav , who looks like a big  raw horse who was very fit , seven nation army is a smashing looking horse and ran a cracker , but the outstanding horse in the paddock for me was don vincenzo , it ran no sort of race and maybe useless but hes a real looker....btw wildmanfromborneo , i had a look at willies in the first  , a very plain looker , i'd be surprized if many winers came out of this race....

not far away from where  i was ye musta heard me shouting home DAVY on rule the world WR

Forgive me dec for not reading it all as I'm so use to running into childish stalkers that I couldn't be arsed.

Silver,the horse was post race abnormal with a breathing problem- respiratory tract infection.

i was on the 2nd dec... i was amazed to see minsk never went lower than 4 0 on here in running...

Obviously plenty thought Mount Benbulben was getting up.Traded unbelievably short in running.

Silver,the horse was post race abnormal with a breathing problem- respiratory tract infection.HEARD THIS AT RACECOURSE OVER PAS was going make a comment it saved THE RICCI'S  afew £ not having pay thier own vet etc;but as was posted earlier...ye know the rest..away to bed work in morning

Maybe the horse had a respiratory tract infection, but I'm pretty sure the horse scoped clean the morning of the race so within a few hours the horse got sick?, forgive me for been the eternal pessimist that I am but isn't it funny when a hot fav is beaten there is always an excuse none of these horses are ever beaten because they were simply not good enough?.

as an aside , i watched ruby as they approached the last he had dropped back into forth , the potts horse looked booked for third  till ruby got after c/fever , low and behold it started to run on really well to regain third ...strange on refection ...

A very good crowd including WR!! turned up for the first Sunday meeting of the new year at the popular Naas venue.

Race 1) Jennies Jewel 6/1. Only seen this on the in running betting. Seemed to be the only danger to the jolly Upazo (8/11f) Good shout from WMFB. Ruby in his column in the Examiner wasn't too bullish about this one. Ground concerns along with the extra 3 furlongs.

Race 2) Marito 4/6f. The jolly was made to work hard by WR's favourite horse. This was Ruby's nap as he said he was a great jumper. Arkle at Leop next I believe. I would be surprised if Willie didn't have something better.

Race 3) Rule The World 7/1. Mouse was sweet on this one and it was pulling double all the way up the straight to win as he liked. Champagne Fever (1/4f)went out like a light and was found to be suffering from a respiratory tract infection. I was told afterwards that the jolly was a shadow of himself in the paddock beforehand. None of the Gigginstown crew were at Naas but I heard today that Mouse is hoping next stop Cheltenham.

Race 4) Beneficial Spirit 10/1. A handicappers delight as half the field were in contention between the last two fences. Brian O'Connell made the most of a nice spare to get the better of Geraghty on O'Grady's Quiet Thought. Luke's Benefit (7/2f) ran an honest race and ran out of steam in the run to the line. I had Rothwell last on another thread that Keen Leader had up. Revision maybe needed. 33/1 in the morning. A nice coup. Saoirse Dunn brought off a nice coup at the beginning of his winning sequence at the last meeting here in November.

Race 5) Charlies Vic 15/2. It's not often a 7 lb claimer gets the better of a champion jockey but Derek Fox didn't look out of place up against Russell, Carberry and Geraghty. All four were in with a shout up the straight with Charlie's Vic edging it from the jolly Our Girl Salley (4/5f). Geraghty had said on his blog that everything was right for his mare, ground trip and course but it just ran into one too good. The winner had been double figures in the morning so connections who I know nothing about got a few quid.

Race 6) Thepartysover 9/1. A welcome winner for M P Burke who had a lot of placings as this one got up in the shadow of the post from the jolly Fair Dilemma (4/1jf). A credit to the handicapper again.  I later learnt that the trainer Gerry Hayes is from the Moneygall clan ( relation anyway) of Ollys fame. The pub Obama came to in May 2011.

Race 7) Grecian Tiger (8/15f) I don't whether this one won easy or not but I do know he stopped to nothing in the last 100 yards. I was too busy watching Darwaan. Allduck, I was at the paddock with WR and Sinndar for this race and I have to say Daarwaan looked well so much so that I chanced £2 at 75 on here. If I wasn't yapping to someone during the race I would have traded out for a nice little profit. It went as low as 3.25.

I would recommend everone on track to tune into the Irish Racing Team on Twitter. Within 10 minutes of each race they had a quote from connections of each winner.

Twitter if properly used can be a mine of info.

It's well worth following Barry Geraghty as he let's us know when his blog his online. And most informative it was too.
Someday we will get workrider to tune into twitter.

One other point. I changed newspaper at the weekend. I used get the Indo but since Christmas the have gone tabloid only, with the result that there is no pullout sports section. I got the Examiner for the first time. What a paper. Brilliant brilliant brilliant!

1) An excellent and informative column from Ruby Walsh.
2) Also one from Jessica Harrington.
3) Pat Keane's selections. The best tipster bar none in the trade. ( Thepartysover)
4) A thought provoking article each weekend from Keane. This week it was titled ' Leave Thurles Alone' and it was excellent.
5) Sports pull out section and colour cards for all the mainland tv action.

im telling people for years about the examiner.its the best by far.specially for sport

Great write up Soapp and plenty of food for thought but bear in mind some of us on here are old and would need help with regard twitter,maybe you could be our connection.

Great post race thoughts once again Soapp.
Examiner always a great paper,was on saluting terms with a fair few that worked there when the paper was based in Academy st,a lovely bunch.
No expert on twitter at all, easiest way around it imo Wildman is just by googling on a new page say Ian poulter on twitter or Irish racing team on twitter,that should show the tweets.

.......WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO ALLDUCKORNODINNER......
workrider 01 Nov 13 19:55.....Another great poster who seems to have gone missing , along with  Princess , something or other , cant remember his second name , both worth listening to on p2p horses ..We could do with them back....

pa lapsy • November 1, 2013 7:03 PM GMT Princess D'Anjou I think, yeah really knew their horses, DingleMick another who was a brilliant poster, haven,t seen Monte Cristo, Punchestown, Oufies Pal for a while either, think DJ is gone for a break as well which is a shame.

AND soapp too

Yielding, Good To Yielding In Places
RACING GETS UNDER WAY AT 12.50 with Good Thyne Tara 1/2
1.20 Tornado Flyer 7/4
1.50 Hcap Chase Eddie's Allardyce 7/2
2.20 LAWLORS of NAAS Envoi Allen 4/11
2.50 Maiden Hdl 1,2,3 - Bold Enough 5/1, Asterion Forlonge 8/11 & Time Goes By 40/1
3.20 Hcap Hurdle Barden's Mc Alpine, could be fun shouting him home from the 'Old Stand'.
3.50 Always an interesting bumper betting on rumour of the day.

Might be a day for watching more than betting with a couple of hot pots on show.,the two handicaps are also interesting puzzles and there's no racecourse form to guide us for the finale.The second race is a cracker with some top prospects in the field,it will be interesting to see which way the money is going in the morning for this particular race.

The last page of this thread brings back some memories.

Jasus man, click/switch to "New Community"

What are you talking about?^^

Punch, you may still be on “Community Classic”,

On the top left of your forum page after the words “Community Classic” it reads “switch to New Community”.....Click on this to switch to the better forum. HTH.

Looks like Galileo Dance has swayed to a bet at 5/2

Nope,I'm on the new one I think,thanks anyhow."Switch to Community Classic" is my option from here.

Paul was poor on the mare in the first imo, should have left her alone and let her do the jumping instead of taking a pull approaching that fence , Tornado found to be distressed, Pencilfulloflead couldn't jump to save its life, best jump was at the last. Allen will win ANY race he goes for at Cheltenham...

Pencilfulloflead ...very disappointing since winning its Bumper.Looks dreadfully one paced.
