Cork 12.30 ..This fellow has been a little disappointing , they thought he would go right to the top ..Tomorrow represents his best chance in a while to return to the winners enclosure imo ..He's been highly tried and found wanting in top class company , the drop in class and small field and the first time fitting oc c/ps should bring about a change in fortune ..His main opponent Turban looks to me as if he needs a step in in distance , so am hoping his turn of foot will win the day ....

By:
Boyles take a different view
8/11 T and 2/1 W |
|
By:
2/1 is fair imo..6/4 is to short..thats if you want to play ...

I like the look of boondooma 1.35..won a bumper last week won well will love this ground only worry is it may be too quick?
|
|
By:
Be a bog in Mallow tomorrow,know Waaheb has soft form,not sure he,,ll handle heavy that well,some class bits of form all the same gl.
|
|
By:
Thats the drawback PA , Turban's done it on heavy ....
|
|
By:
Is that the one where he beat Fulton Tony, unless Fulton is any kind of a horse that looked a woeful bumper. I don't like Limerick form carrying forward anyway but if you knew Fulton was a fair horse than that is a different matter.
Anyone think Waaheb is the perfect horse to train for a Galway Hurdle, Weld would love nothing more I'd say and that 2/1 might be too good to be true. Not the horse I thought he'd be from his Bumper days. He's too soft to be a grade 1 horse, but he strikes me as one who would enjoy carrying a low weight and beating up on inferiors in a big field on nice ground. |

WD what grade of race did waaheb win today, compared to the two 2nds in grade 1 races?
|
|
By:
Boondooma was 3s with Boyles last night. It was put up by KL last year I seem to recall
|
|
By:
Well done workrider, didn't see the race as just in now. You've called the market right whatever happens Tony!!
|
|
By:
Backed Defining Year e.w at 6s against you Tony. Bit disappointing last week, and 8 days not really enough time to derive huge benefit from the run, but DK must be happy with him. Slight drawback I suppose is he went very cheaply for a yoke rated 105, but this looks very poor apart from the fav, who although fully entitled to be fav is no world beater himself. Certainly a much lower class contest than what he contested at Leop.

|
By:
imo..davy gave that too much to do..(im proberly speaking threw my pocket)..buthe left it far too late..
|
|
By:
Shocker by Davy there,nice position before turning in, and lost it,gave him too much to do.
|
|
By:
Unlucky Tony, was just about to post similar. Keep backing 3/1 shots that go off at 6/5 and you'll be fine.
I'd say a maiden hurdle at Cork isn't foremost in Davy's mind at the minute. He could be thinking of the bills!! |
|
By:
glad someone else thinks the same....decent bet gone down threw poor ride?..thats racing..move on..
|
|
By:
Wasn't really watching, but did he not just get outpaced? Probably would have been better off making it alright, but looks slow. Terrible race. Defining Year has obviously lost a lot of his ability.

All you can do is wipe your nose. There are pros and cons to the English and Irish riding styles Call.

By:
yer neill but I backed it thinking the kid was on board taking the 7lb off that won last week.?
|
|
By:
Haven't seen a paper Tony but i'd say Davy will be like a Piranha, he's a stright-forward type that you wouldn't have minded seeing the 7lb taken off of on that ground. Davy possibly over-complicated things. Isn't Cork a bit of a front-runners track as well?
|
|
By:
That might be a fair point Callit,he certainly seemed in a good position jumping the last down the back,picture went off him and he was way behind.
Tony can,t believe you never looked at the jockey,that,s sloppy. |
|
By:
ahh well neill..lets see how the rest of the day go,s
|
|
By:
pa I backed it early ..tbh im not sure they had announced the jockey change..but I never till just before the off

Avondhu Lady looks a steering job. I would make it 8-13, rather than 2.48 it is now. In some situations, these chasers coming back to hurdles and looking 'thrown in', are simply better chasers, and hence are not as well handicapped over hurdles as their mark suggests. In this instance, it looks like the mare has just simply improved, the discipline not being the catalyst for that.
It took her til her 7th run over fences to open her account, and that at 20-1, so she hadn't suddenly improved for the switch to fences. She looks to have just slowly found her way. I would be surprised if she cant reach very similar heights over hurdles, hence should really be winning today. |
