^^^^This!!

it seems you know **** all dj..according to paulie..?your talking ****..he was always going to the champion..he has no were else to go?

really does make me laugh sometimes the hypocrisy on here..when ever anybody on here make a mistake loads come on and have a go and belittle them..i only made a error about weight for a race and got all sorts of stick...now know it all PAULIE makes a arrse of himself..and no one says a word?..all too scared to tell him what a complete **** he is..if I,d come on and done what he did ..I'd be too embarrassed to come back on!

exactly what I said neill., the horse would go for the champion next year..

Well I must take my hat off to you tony57.....it looks like you were on the ball....to say im gobsmacked is putting it mildly......I simply cannot believe that any trainer would have the cheek to do this to an owner.....I must offer my apologies .....you are in fact 100% correct.....about Un de Sceaux.....

Twister wishing he put in a pacemaker now!

Who's going to make the running now?Jezki will be more prominent but would they make it?

I'd hate to be playing Poker with Willie Mullins but it's lot easier when you hold so many cards.

going to play devils advocate here in the face of this Willie bashing and say

a) we don;t know how goo the hoss is

Yeah, awful form Paulie. Mullins is as hard-nosed as you'd get. Balance of probabilities is that the owner won't get a horse like that again.

Look at the way he runs Oz, he is a now horse in terms of Champion Hurdles. Horse like that would give himself as hard a race in a seller as in a Champion Hurdle!!

We all knew he was a very good horse but just didn't think 16's and 20's was value when he was 3/1 -4/1 to turn up for the race as previously stated.

paulie thank you..i appreciate that. I respect a man who can apologize....

as everyone knows its called the sport of kings......and the small no man has little or no chance......but when the small man does defy all the odds and get a once in a lifetime horse......he still gets shafted......

stinks to high heaven

he means in theory, on ratings, Frank.

Very surprised he is not going to run. WPM cant really use his lack of a decent prep as an excuse. He chose the route he has taken. Bullsh*t. I see AP into 10s on here now for CH. As sure as Rubys silver tongue has ruled UDS out, he wont allow AP in either.

what wpm says publicly = bullsh1t.ye have been warned!

why would the owner, know better than the best jumps trainer in ireland, no point rushing that horse, would be throwing UDS into
a race like that before its ready, could possibly wreck a potential future star, judging by what the horse has already achieved,
anyone who couldnt see this happening, was wishing on a star thinking that was going to turn up and beat that field in the CH.
take it this trainer has a bad reputation, IMO must of reached the top of the training profession because he is very good and
knows how to achieve the best from the horses he trains.

RR wouldn't have a clue as to the answer of that question Chelt.

who sourced and bought this horse, lads?

In the end, Arkle and Flyingbolt never met on the racecourse but they did so at home as Pat Taaffe recounted in his book My Life & Arkle's.
"Flyingbolt was hacking along with Paddy Woods on his back and a funny look in his eye. Upsides on Arkle, I was thinking to myself that I would never see a prouder horse than this. Then he turned his head and slowly looked us over. You could almost see the curl of the lip. This was the 'Who are these peasants?' look of his that I was to come to know so well and I suppose I should have been forewarned. Next thing I knew he's taken a strong hold and was away. Not to be outdone, Arkle took an equally strong hold and got up alongside. And so these two young chasers who were then potentially the best in the world staged their own private race during what was supposed to be a normal session of morning schooling. They took the next four fences, neck and neck, flat out as though their lives depended on the outcome, while Paddy and I held on to them for dear life and waited for the fires to die down. Well, they cleared them all right, but it was a bit too close for comfort and Mr. Dreaper never allowed them to be schooled together again. In character, they were the night and the day. A small child could walk into Arkle's box in absolute safety. No child, no man would ever willingly step into Flyingbolt's.... at least, not twice. He'd kick the eye out of your head. But over jumps and on the flat he was a superb machine and a brave one.... For him, the future was limitless.... Certainly he was as good at seven as Arkle was at the same age.... If progress had been maintained, he would have been as good, if not better, than Arkle himself."
Jim Dreaper, Tom's son, was just a schoolboy at the time and he recounted his thoughts on both Arkle and Flyingbolt to Hugh McIlvanney 30 years later. "It is foolish to say there can never be another steeplechaser as great as Arkle. There may have been one in the yard along with him. It is impossible to tell how fantastic Flyingbolt might have been if he had not contracted brucellosis."
Arkle is generally acknowledged as being the greatest ever steeplechaser. Although he is officially the second-greatest of all time, Flyingbolt never got anything like the recognition he deserved. In an article in the Racing Post in March 2009, John Randall wrote, "In any era except that of Arkle, Flyingbolt would have reigned supreme, but he raced in the shadow of his stablemate and never received the credit he deserved. He was officially rated only one pound below Arkle, and although it defies belief that the two greatest steeplechasers of all time should have been in the same stable at the same time, with the same jockey and even the same groom (Johnny Lumley), the figures speak for themselves." When the Racing Post conducted a readers' poll in 2004 to determine the 100 favourite racehorses of all time, Arkle, predictably, was number one whilst Flyingbolt failed to make the list, lending credence to Randall's assertion that Flyingbolt was indeed "racing's greatest unsung hero."

ask easygold, told him few months ago the horse wont be ready this year, WPM he must be an idiot too or is it you and the
people who thought UDS only had to turn up for the race to win, who are the idiots
