That post was solely in regards the horse.
Leicester was a bit of an off the wall choice for Gordon,not sure had he ever a runner there but he is walking on water almost lately. For the thread overall(Ir runners in Eng) you only have to look at irishracing.com to see level stakes wise how badly they do,saying that i always look myself, i think John McConnell is one to watch,he seems to send over a few that struggle at Dundalk but capable over. |

Obvious enough to 99.9% of folk pa but there's always one (and I'm not referring to ur good self in case some fool thinks I am)  The said one could do with buying a dictionary as well and look up sarcasm - when he's done playing with words or whatever and pushing report buttons Anyway, best of luck with your punting pa - always nice to see a sensible fella post  |

Thanks Elvissss,the 07.16 post i thought could have been read in two ways,it was just a compliment to the op,it was deserved.
Ha, i suppose i have some sensible moments,punting small as disillusioned with exchange for one,still think the winners are around with the usual patience tag. In keeping with the thread, R Watson(don't know his 1st name except he is up north) sends one over to Newcastle Thurs,think he is cute enough and the few he sent over have done well,obvious chance formwise,don't think the 7lb extra from last time will be a problem,hard to see it not at least getting a place. Be lucky yourself Elvissss |

PA, as you can see I only highlight/post on the occasional runner across the pond - on this WINNING and "worthwhile" thread.
Obviously not backing every Orish donkey that runs in Engerland. Don't shoot the messenger - if you have an opinion on the subject or horse, than please say so. If you don't like the thread - SIMPLY DONT READ IT ! We can do without the nonsense comments and cyber back stabbing tyvm - Remember it's US vs THEM  |

By:
I think it is an interesting idea for a thread myself and no doubt you are selective in picking which ones.
Two obvious points with them, how well did they travel over? you very seldom find out beforehand,positive or negative in the betting may be a guide. The other point is form is very rarely collated,there are no lines, dangerous to say that a horse that ran well at Dundalk would be above a similar class type at say Wolves. (though i would say yes in the majority,not proven) On the plus side,very likely they are trained for the race given costs. |

ta pa, just being selective helps - Remember they all can't win..... No interest in my dear (Mr) Watson.

Elementary My Dear Watson...
...would have been nice to know his Cousins Plus One Syndicate before he won in Newcastle - 14's into 15/2 - they knew! Also note he was beaten 2L by 'Commander Won' who has won again since back in Dundalk. Lyons 104 rated in the listed tomorrow with Jim Crowley is not even of interest. Lets try an keep this a WINNING THREAD. BofL |

WD pa on an easy winner
- put up 2 days before the race - not 2 mins before  1:50 RESULT Betway Handicap (Class 6) 1st 11. British Art 2/1 Always prominent, led going well 2f out, quickened clear over 1f out, comfortably 2nd 4. Exclusive Waters 11/1 3rd 7. Galilee Chapel 50/1 Nice to see a modest poster who doesn't congratulate himself |
|
By:
Thanks Elvisss, i got a kick out of that.
Jers Girl at 11/8 looks a fair enough price at kempton tomorrow,i think Apple Jade was fairly straight last time,that form would be proven,i think 3m probably suits on that running as well,top two in the race are hard to evaluate but don't think they are up to JG,s form,they might be improving but the 4lb is another plus to JG. Me Monday interest |
|
By:
Well done pa.Irish runners in England are always worth a second look.Jers girl is interesting tomorrow.Just hard to see if she will get the 3 miles.The ground at kempton is never to soft which is a negative.May take her on with rons dream.

This thread just crossed my mind again while everyone's doing fine down in Sandown with Fox Norton in the Tingle Creek at 2.55, all eyes will Definitly Red up on AINTREE tomorrow even though Mouse runs Alpha Des Obeaux.
...cue my dead rock'n'roll staker 1.30... The other 12yo KING is not dead yet Pa  |

Putting on rose tinted specs,there are a few positives,
He is 20-25/1 On weights from past course form he has a chance of finishing in front of Vieux Lion Rouge(also Highland Lodge and at a push Blacklion through that Nat trial last Feb) who are a lot shorter in the betting. If the National is the plan which i think it is,he has to go up at least around 7lb,not sure is there some clause with this race in regard the Nat and this. With the specs still on his two runs this season were very poor,historically though hasn't done a lot early in the season. Maybe Aintree will bring about the best in him and/or at least the amount of finishers could be small. Probably will have some shrapnel on him,he could run ok. Despite penalty and further,don't need any specs for Clear Skies tonight, when it looks too good you wonder whar you're missing. |

In the meanwhile.....good to see Cooper back from Tennessee (no bet btw, but more of that later)

J T R Dreaper stable in good form Mullaghmurphy Blue 2/1 returned 11/10 |

WD to F M Berry (Orish jockey) FANS with a five timer last nite (the 3 for David Evans could have been backed if not for the Christmas Party in the Arch ffs)
|

By:
Had a feeling Dreaper was going to the well once too often - so left singing the Murphy Blues in third in Musselburgh - and priced short anyways.

A bit more stoking required again today from Andrew Ring in AYR
|
|
By:
Velvet Maker tomorrow is a very interesting runner in a hunters at Leicester(also entered Warwick Sunday),a rake of positives,the glaring one is he is rated a stone and a half above his next rival. Has raced mostly in topclass races bar last times point where 3m in heavy not ideal,went to Cheltenham last three years and last years hurdle run behind Grand Partner probably the pick of his last half dozen(Lasttolasvegas behind).
Lightly raced maybe a negative would be consistency but the bar has been raised high.Probably for that reason i wouldn't take too short a price,pure guess what price it will be but while they don't race on paper looks the proverbial. |
