a decent meeting to start the summer off..and im sweet on SIR ABBOT 2.40 I liked his win in a bumper lto and as long as his jumping holds up I expect him to be the one to beat..im not sure how short he,ll be..but hopefully he,ll be backable..good luck all

Tony, I do like Sir Abbot, but it really needs farther than this, and this track could be on the sharp side?...wouldnt want to be held up as it could get out paced if its a "sprint"...better to force the pace imo & could get away with it though...

you make a good point koi,..track bias..could be against him....hope your wrong..thats me im off see you tomorrow

McKinley looks a banker in the opener, and worth backing at 7-4.
As i said on here before, Indian Icon is a small scopeless, regressive sort, and he is taking up a fair chunk of the market. I very much doubt he will get near the fav if he jumps proficiently on debut. Coming from these quarters, there is no reason to expect he wont. Indian Icon may have a few pieces of soft ground form, but the rain is really falling there, and to my eye he resented such conditions on the flat at Galway last Summer. If McKinley cant beat the rest, connections will be very disappointed. |

Mullins insists that McKinley needs good ground..

Played Yes Sir Brian e/w at 16's in the next, His form behind Wicklow Brave & Vautour, Black Hercules isn't too shabby but he does seem to pull his races away, Hopefully he'll settle early and give me a spin for my money, GL all.

Penitent 5/1 e/w here,cant see it not been in the top 3.

Hard to see Little Red Robin beaten but the price is a bit skinny for me.

Well done gutfeeling,

Thanks Huddy, Didn't have a bet myself though as rarely play the short ones but he did look the best by a long way to me.
Trading Harry's Princess in the next at Leop, Ran well in the Guineas trial, Hopefully a bit fitter for the run and can go close. GL if playing. |

What a gentleman John Oxx is, not a word of complaint after being pretty unlucky to lose that today, unlucky in the way that you often see them kept. Smullen hamming it up was the killer, how could one be 'sure' they'd have won in those circumstances I don't know. After basically robbing his best patron you'd think they'd have let that go there today. Stark contrast with Wylie at Cheltenham in the Gold Cup. Difference between sport and business I guess.

im willing to give AUTUMN SHADES e/w @8/1 another chance .after a disappointing run @wexford she is obviously thought better than that..and with 7lb coming off im hoping she,ll be better tonight..mymain bet on the card is SAILORS WARN 5.40, won on the flat last week..but with o,grady willing to run again this quick makes me think this may have been the plan?..has not won over this trip and lto was disappointing..but im chancing him
|

By:
katie harrington taking off 7lbs tony wouldnt necessarily be an advantage tony..?
|
|
By:
I take your point kavie..I would rather it be someone else..but at the prices..im willing to give it a go..

On the Fringe at 2/5 must be just buying money surely in the 7.40 .
|
|
By:
Are you down near there Kelly? Whats the ground...much rain about or forecast??
I had a good bet on On The Fringe last week at 13-8. Principally because the ground and down hill finish, wasn't going to stretch his stamina. I wouldn't be too eager to plough into him if it got bottomless. Likewise, I will back The Herds Garden if the rains have stayed away. He seemed to appreciate the better ground the last day, until ultimately chucking it away/outstayed. Nina will be replicating her brothers exaggerated waiting tactics tonight. 2.9 would look a bet if ground hasn't deteriorated. If anyone down there could update...Cheers. |

I'm in Tralee Callit, which is about half an hour away, and we had a very dry day yesterday with only a small bit of rain last night and this morning. I read on Irishracing.com that they were watering this morning so barring heavy rain coming soon, I'd say it should be decent ground.
Heading to the track this evening so I'll put u a couple of selectins for interest. Pollywollydoodle 6.40 wo sligo maiden hurdle by 11 lengths and showed well in handicap when 4th at listowel afterwards. May have needed the run @ fairyhouse after long break and should be primed for today. Chute HALL 6.10 This fella is tarting to become a bit frustrting but i'm going to give him another chance. Thinks his form is stronger than the favs who was flattered @ Mallow and local trainer will be keen to win today. |

By:
newapproach,
CHUTE HALL is a horse ive followed off a cliff..no more..he looks like he always does..comes there but gets done for toe, but therws no doubt hes going to pop up soon..ive just had my fill of him.. |

Be having a EW on Psycho in the Hunter Chase myself at 20/1,
Has a chase win here over 2m4f, Has chase figures of 5-1-14, Gets 17lbs(Including jockey allowance) from the fav & a first time tongue tie catches my eye. Henry DeBromhead brings two tonight and both are worth a punt imo(Darwins Fox/Lord Ben e/w) Gl all having a go tonight. |

Killarney looks a fabulous place to go racing?..i went to Tralee years ago..loved it..but 2 places I wont to go racing in Ireland soon...listowel,..and Killarney..
|
|
By:
Never in Killarney myself, but I remember the picture they put on front of Racing Post one day last year, was beautiful.
Aim to get down there at some stage soon. Cant beat Galway for the craic though!! Backed The Herds Garden at 15-8. Betinternet going 5-2 for those that can get on there. Nobody is my guess!! |
|
By:
yes callit..looks amazing place..this time next year I aim to get there..for this fixture..
|
|
By:
sailors never looked like winning there..thought winner won easy enough..
|
|
By:
Away from Killarney, I think White Russian can prove ahead of her mark in 7.50 Windsor. Wont mind the rain that is pouring down, and 8-1 looks worth taking.

|
By:

|
By:
WD Newapproach, The runner up was a interesting one first time hurdling after the sole bumper start, Could be worth note-booking.
|
|
By:

|
|

Whats wrong with listowel Tony
|
|
By:
All the Kerry tracks have their own charm . Killarney is one of the most beautifully situated racecourses anywhere in the world . Tralee was always good for winner finding , but not in same class as Killarney or Listowel . Listowel meeting in September was always stellar , huge crowds , and the start of the year for some of the better NH horses . And great betting , not sure though these days , the bean counters are in charge following Betfair .

nothing wrong with listowel?..I said I want to go there?..
|
|
By:
Wont equals want . Go to Listowel in September tony , and the mid July meeting in Killarney has always a good mix of racing , flat and NH . And evening fixtures in July , week long festival approximately , as is Listowel . And bring some good weather with you .
