st stephens day racing

Sydent Pagent 1:45 the horse that stands out for me,had been entered in the welsh national and the paddy power but going for this easier option,can see him jump out in the lead and make all,have taken the 11/4 from powers think its a cracking bet.

Liking that also  ^^^^

Howiya everyone.

Dubai Prince in the first at Kempton at 15/8 look big. Remember him setting the tongues wagging after his 5l romp in the Killavulen Stakes as a 2yr old.

At last the greatest day of Christmas has arrived!!

Main bets are Vaniteux at 7-2 in 12.50 Kemp, Twelve Roses at 9-2 in 3.45 Kemp, and Stuccodor at 5-1 in 12.50 Leop.

Price long gone on Vaniteux now, quite how he wasn't fav to begin with was very strange. Was very taken with him on debut, and considering how much Hendos are coming on for their first run, he looks an exciting prospect. In saying that, I would expect a victim from the last day, Champagne Tara to provide the sternest challenge. He didn't look off a yard that day, and shouls also improve considerably. Flat bred Dubai Prince wouldn't look to be suited by conditions, and in any case won a very soft maiden on debut.

Twelve Roses looked a standout in the last, the only pity being that AP rides. Nothing to do with his ability, just he is a strong travelling sort, that will travel into the race just aswell for a 10lb claimer as he would for AP, but with the champ being on board for Bailey, the odds compilers were quickly alerted. Think he is a steering job though.

Stuccodor runs in a very highly competitive maiden hurdle, but DK is 38% for hurdling debutants, and he really does know which ones will make the grade. This lad is a very tough customer, and looks sure to adapt to the winter game. Bringing a flat rating of 104, he could be really smart.

The KG is a cracking race, again very competitive. I nailed my colours to Dynastes mast many months ago, and am on at 8s, 7s and 6s. Im not deserting him now!! Have had an e.w on Long run at 11s, as he will be still plodding on when plenty of others have cried enough, and Champion Court at 50s. I don't fancy Sil Conti or Mount Bel at all, and having backed Al Ferof at 33s, 25s, and 20s ante post for last years race, I cant bring myself to back him today at 4s.

GL all.

Be interesting to see how far does Clondaw Court win?

20l not even asked for me.

callitasucit spot on with the market at Kempton. Henderson coming in for heavy support and Dubai Prince on the drift. I will trust your judgement here.

What a ride by Walsh there

Still god.

Clondaw Court on the other hand, won't be winning anything at the Festival this year.

Gone for Horendus Hullabo now in Limerck for team Giggy.

Fogarty giving this a beautiful ride, pushing it into his hurdles making 1/2l every time.

Won by 1/2l....tell me that the jockey didn't make a difference there.

Backed it myself Ruby, say he a fu**in dog.

I had fancied Wrath of Titans but its a typical wide open Leapardstown maiden hurdle with so many unexposed types.

Yeah...he be way better over fences over a proper trip but I thought the jockey won that race. Limerick is not a track I like, idk why. Just seen so many strange results there over the years.

Drift on Stuccodor is a worry, but im staying loyal.

No money in the market as of yet 30k matched on a race like this 5 mins before off

gone for wrath of titans

poor run....no change of gear. Looks another boat.

That was some performance by the winner tho

missed the kempton race thankfully.

Wonder should we leave this minefields of maiden and novice hurdles alone

Faustino rustic £340k they paid for it..nicholls says its a  chaser..pulled like a train for a circuit?..deffo has a lot of ability if they get it right..

Think Vaniteux would have still won had he came up for Geraghty at the last. Was just about to get on terms. Bad start.

One to keep in the mind tony...thanks for that.

Well i am having my first big festive bet on Analifet, short price yes but will provide valuable confidence boost for me shall it go in.

Vaniteux jumping imploded when the pace was upped. Looked the best in the race otherwise, winner looks a nice one too

The kind of day you could back a few winners and still lose money but I will go for.
1. The New One is not bad value at evens to beat MTOY.
2. See no reason why Cue Card is 4/1. The form horse.
3. Defy  Logic has a decent chance at the price.

Good Luck all.

Nuts n Bolts looks a cracking e.w bet in 1.45 Wetherby, at 9-2 with Bet365, 1/4 odds place. Improving fast, he hosed up the last day, even a few serious jumping errors, the hike in ratings shouldn't stop him. It is less of a stamina test today, but it might just be that he is a vastly improved animal, having looked go have plenty of scope last year.

I say your confidence is shot after that Ruby!! I backed the winner w/o, but had just done an ante post docket for Chelt, including Analifet. Ball burst there!!

Sorry what happened Analifet?....missed the whole race.

Sad sight Analifet,Stuccodor not off a yard earlier on.

Broke down after 4 furlongs.

Typical Mullins with a Giggy horse....

Oh for **** sake....this is getting beyond a sick joke now at this stage. Horse dead another horse that cost hundreds of thousands heading to be burnt alive.

sorry for the blunt comments again but it really is just heartbreaking.

In terms of my balance now Callitasucuit I am now down but could have been worse if Horendus Hullabluolu had not won.

Who was dead horse Ruby? can't think

if Analifet broke down chances are its not ever going to be seen again.

that's a nice sort ..smashing?..looked like it had another gear if needed?

Yeah looks decent...i done a lot of doe now.

Recovery mission now

the mullins horse is ok will just be out till next year..not as bad as first thought analifit

Thankfully but I be surprised if we ever see the horse again.

that's what just come on twitter ruby..by bet nation

that ****,n jockey on mister nibbles ..what was he doing looking round ..why not kick on?

Champion Hurdle coming back to Ireland after that.

the new one would of beaten mtoy if didnt smash into the last hurdle.

wouldn't go that far ruby..Kempton wouldn't play to new ones strength imo..but theres no doubt it looks a cracker of a champ hurdle

Why you say that Ruby? They absolutely annihilated 150 rated horses off a slow gallop. Had TNO not nearly come down at last, he would prob have won by half length. Will be better suited by stiffer test of stamina at Chelt. I certainly wouldn't be disappointed. From MTOY point of view, I cant see him upholding the form, but again they have to be happy enough.

Nightmare for Townend there,way too over confident.

Drift told a story on Younger.

The fact that McCoy said after he still need to improve tells me all I need to know. I think Hurricane Fly or Our Conor should beat both but The New one cannot be disregarded but I be happy with that.

Townend acting the bollicks...stupid fool

what a day ...CLEANED OUT

Mullins having a nightmare today.

Everything falling apart. Felix Younger, Champagne Fever and Analifet

great to see willie not getting it all his way today?..but champagne fever..will turn that around imo..paul towned was too confident on felix..hes done it before..fine rider..but needs to stop ****,n around.

Its great to see....but not so much from for my Pocket. Could have been a wipeout

sorry ruby,..i didn't mean that to any one who has backed his runners today..bad choice of words..i just meant its good to see others winning..

No it is good to see....the depth of talent is their which is good to see.

Depending on O Brien and daughter to dig you out of a hole in a bumper at xmas.

2nd again?..oconner got caught on the inside...winner was away..thats got a bumper in it winsor park?

Bloodbath!

Down 2/3rd my bank starting the day

story of my day ..2nd itus im sorry to say..i hope tomorrow is better..

I miss all tomorrow....due to family.

Thankfully

have a good one ruby ..back Saturday to try again mate?

Odin in the 4:15 wolv,around 2/1,george bakers only ride of the day

Hmm...Ah I see now.

Very disappointing day all around. Just can't afford 3 hotpots all to lose in the same day.

Might put a few bob on Sir Des Champs but that be it.

carnage,a car crash!call an ambulance!

Great shout Huddys.

poor old tony is on life support!

McManus horse banned for 42 days

Fahamore
Fahamore
(Healy Racing Photos) JP McManus’s Fahamore, who finished fourth in the beginners’ chase that started off the day’s racing at Down Royal, was subsequently banned for 42 days by the stewards.
The six-year-old gelding’s trainer Eddie Harty was fined €1,000 for being in breach of Rule 212 while jockey Niall Madden received a seven-day suspension for a breach of the same rule, and he was ordered to forfeit his riding fee.

The horse was beaten 19.5 lengths into fourth by Leish Oscar. The comments in-running read ‘held up, 7th halfway, ridden and no impression before 3 out, left poor 4th 2 out, kept on one pace’.

The stewards report is below.

The Stewards enquired into the running and riding of Fahamore (GB), ridden by N.P. Madden, and trained by Edward P.Harty. Evidence was heard from the trainer and rider concerned. Edward P. Harty, trainer, stated that he instructed the rider to give his mount a chance early on as he had not run since May, get him jumping, creep into the race and don't knock him about as he had encountered training problems with his stifles. He added that his charge made a slight mistake at the fourth last fence and lost his chance which he failed to regain. The exit of three runners at the second last fence left him in fourth place and he ran on in the latter stages without looking like reaching third place. He felt that his charge would improve a little for todays run and he had a respectable blow post race. He expressed his satisfaction with the ride. N.P. Madden, rider, confirmed the trainers instructions and added that he was in contention racing to the fourth last fence but having corrected him on the approach to it, he lost ground and with the front runners quickening at that point his own mount was flat footed and he just pushed him along from that point without hitting him. He added that his mount took a blow at the fourth last fence but galloped on in the closing stages without being able to pass the third placed horse. He felt that he rode to his strongest ability and within his riding instructions. The Stewards also received a report from the Turf Club Veterinary Officer who stated that Fahamore (GB) was post race normal. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that Edward P. Harty and N.P. Madden were in breach of Rule 212. They fined Edward P. Harty €1,000 and suspended Fahamore (GB) for 42 days. They also suspended N.P. Madden for 7 race days and ordered that he forfeit his riding fee.

great write up bjg,
thanks for taking the time to let us know

TONY DONT GIVE UP ON MR NIBBLES  ALSO CRAWFORDS BUMPER WINNER TWENTYTWOSTAKEN LOOKED VERY SMART  AND THE BEGINNERS CHASE INC WINNER LEISH OSCAR WILL THROW UP WINNERS INC FAHAMORE

^^^^ mug punter supremo! gis us a winner today ,not what it might or not do in the future.w..........................er!!!

Mullins might have a nice replacement in the juvenile ranks in the shape of Ivan Grozny. Seemed to be aimed very high when trained on the flat in France. A useful recruit if he can jump.

He has Max Dynamite, Sempre Medici, Allez Collombieres, Ivan Grozny and Thomas Hobson yet to come!

Absolutely ridiculous juvenile hand, even outside of Analfiet
