Gowran Thursday ( Willie Mullins Day )

best of luck dinglemick, I think DOGORA with a clear round has to win ? ruby getting down to 11-2 and the form of lto with the giggy horse a touch disappointing but it was a grade 1..not sure what price it,ll be?..but may double it up with the bumper runner. no other bets for me..best of luck to all

11-2??He'd do that weight after a dozen pints and a snack box,he rode rockyaboya off 10-3 less than a month ago.

yes dj..true, i just meant its bottom weight,

OMG ^^^^......unbelievable......

In fairness that could be just a bit of not correct English, receiving weight might have been a better way of putting it( probably as a 5 yo tis in the conditions of the race).
Thought in the 2.45 Sacre Malta may be a decent enough ew price with the few pound turnaround in the weights against likely fav Federici.

whats unbelievable paulie, sorry i didn't put down the correct language,..you never make mistakes when writing? f.ck,n childish to even mention it once ive explained..

pa......would you ever go away and leave it out.....ruby getting down to 11-2.....that is what he said......that is not a bit of incorrect English.....he is clearly implying that getting down to this weight.....is some sort of a hardship.....when it clearly isn't......
bit of not correct English ya said pa.....what about just bit of not correct.......

"ruby getting down to 11-2".......... was the quote. Unbelievable!!!!!!

LOL tony57 mate.,..!! ya fairly landed yerself in it der matey.,.,!!!!

And its not "bottom weight". Its called "weight for age, ie not a handicap. Cheers.

^^  Any thoughts on the racing tomorrow by the pair of ye,or is it just a hatchet job?

Take your tablets Paulie and go off to bed.

I do believe Mullins will clean up, agree with original post. Minimum treble.

wow sorry boys..hang me out to dry..don't worry lads don't make a mistake, big deal...

You "in the game" or what? Even wonks wouldn't stoop this low.

Apologies Tony, but had to laugh at the snack box and dozen pints comment.

fine dan i don't mind a laugh at my expense..but its the badness that's behind it...just cos i made a mistake in my meaning..should of said ruby only on 11/2..but hey as i said big deal..

just a hatchet job pa.....no thoughts.....

Alright Paulie, fair enough.

Scouse Tony

You are implying Ruby finds it difficult doing 11st 2lbs. You ok tonight?

think scouse tony thought ruby's brother ted was riding it......

tony 11 2 lol........

The fruitcakes have arrived. Is Celebrity Big Brother over?

STOKE WONT SCORE SO THIS GAME IS OVER?..cheek to say anything about anyone.

Paulie Stoking things up again?

Take These Three:

1.45 The Doorman
2.45 Royal Flight
3.15 Lookoutnow

Backed Playing e.w at 14s in the Thyestes. Up 14lb in a much better race, he would appear to have it all to do. But he absolutely hacked up last time out, having the race won a long way from home, and jumping very well. Strangely enough, at the age of 11, he seems to be still improving, and could very well be up to the task.

Callit I was talking to a owner from that yard recently . he said Tom was delight with Playing and they were more than hopeful he would run a big race , cant see it myself though...

Always get excited about the Thyestes and like many others, I will forever remember Dun Doire winning as a reserve in 2006.

Tough race to call the winner in but I have backed Ipsos Du Berlais & Rich Revival both e/w @ 16/1

Ipsos Du Berlais
Ran well in the PP Chase at Christmas coming 3rd - I feel the run last weekend @ Naas night only have been a prep for today and that he has come out of the race well. I noticed that a number of bookies seemed to have temporarily dropped him from the betting earlier in the week, perhaps assuming that he wouldn't run today so soon after Saturday.
I'm hoping he'll be ridden prominently/close to the pace.
Will love the going.
Although Carberry has opted for Hunting Party, Fox takes off a useful 7lbs and knows the horse having ridden him in the PP Chase and the Grade C Porterstown @ Fairyhouse

Rich Revival
His regular jockey Brian O'Connell is reunited with him after he was ridden by Adrian Heskin in the PP
I'm happy with the run in the PP being pulled up 2 out
Will love the going
Connections have been quoted as saying he wants to go left-handed, but he has won twice going right-handed
Stable in good form recently

I thought Hunting Party was interesting, but he's effectively still a novice having fallen at the 1st in the PP and can't have him until seeing more

g/l with you pick(s) and enjoy the race

I liked the winner there nice to see violet o,leary colours on a nice looking horse

if kl is about I,d be interested in his opinion on the one we fancied lto of tyners in the bumper @9/2?

Didn t have a bet but i m sure the stewards will have a look into the running and riding of The Doorman ( 17s on here on the off ) ... Yeah right Ted Rancid

Townend was making sure Ruby got far enough ahead of him before getting serious in the first.

i have to agree with you there silver

Don't drop down with shock silver..I would have to agree with you on that one!!

Your all right Tolmi I was stretched out on the couch so I'd nowhere to fall, you got the feeling if it had been ridden to get closer a bit earlier it could have been interesting but that was never going to happen with the huge weight of money for the fav.

Don,t think he was ever going to beat Abbyssical no matter what way he rode him though accept what ye are saying, winner despite the tail had the ears up after the line and had plenty more to offer.
Absolute shocker by Zaidpour and beat a very long way out.

Im not saying he would've beat the winner pa but the winner was hardly putting daylight between them.

Yep absolute shocker from yet another Mullins fancied inmate, what an enormous turnaround in form with Mala Beach with only a 2lb weight pull, but I suppose its pointless us complaining as nobody ever answers for it.

On a nicer note ... Hats off to Dave and Ed Marnane just had a winner in Dubai with Jamesie 8/1 ... Their horses always run well out there .. had a little interest in it

I would be fairly sure that if the horse in front had been trained in a different yard then the second would have been a bit closer turning in.

A very good way of putting it Tolmi and of course that is right.
Saw that Jamsie running alright Dingle but left him go,WD

their one in the last Elleval should run well aswell Lapsy ...12/1 .... 2 nd in the UAE Derby last year out there

There was a few interesting runs from a few behind Mala Beach, Jetson, Bishopsfurze and Augnacurraveel, I wouldn't call them real eyecatchers but they all seemed to be ridden with another day in mind, Bishopsfurze will I presume be stepping back up to fences when he's ready to strike?.

Smashing run by OHO ...Ruby must be sick.....

Ruby not the only one who got it wrong !! .... another irish winner in Dubai , Halford this time

See that mick , a little sick my self , backed Midnight charmer  to place at fake , fell at the last when place ...

the form of dogoras lto run has taken a knock, bitterly disappointing..winner won well in the end

No fear of Gary O'brien spoiling the moment by asking Willie about the dreadful performance of Zaidpour.

yes that was poor also silver..but I thought dogora had all its favour..but a no show.

A disappointing performance considering the effort Ruby had to go through to get to 11-2

dogora reported to have broke a blood vessel
