Sizing john, No More Heroes

2 nice debuts alright but you'd think sizing will not beat douvan

You could be right o.l.c, but Douvan wont have it all his own way.

De Bromhead has finally copped on and no longer has his novices ready to run for their lives first time out. He looks to have plenty improvement in him but will not worry Douvan.

just looked at the race..i was bangor today..lovely round of jumping from sizing john..

Douvan only beat Sizing John 3 times last year. I know its chasing now but ...

douvan is the horse that floats my boat at the mullins yard..don't get me wrong the machine and vautor also..but if I had to take one home...douvan is the one..

Tony its worth having a read on Willies site how his horses have been over the summer,      http://wpmullins.com/stable-tour-2015201

thanks frank...
saw a lovely novice for this season @bangor..TWO TAFFS should of won the race was not run to suit (no pace) and he jumped sketchy..but he is definitely one to follow..stood out in the paddock..trainer and owners were there today (dia waters)cost me a packet today but ive no doubt I,ll get it back..skelton needs to ditch his brother and get a proper jockey..showed today.

dai walters...sorry

Thanks Tony; i will keep a eye out for two taffs, i made a nice few bob doing the rounds of the bookies today, [the e/w Thieves bet at punchestown] nice to get one over them for a change.

Nothing wrong with Harry Skelton as a jockey, only four jockeys who rode more than 50 winners last season had a better percentage than him, McCoy, Scudamore, Geraghty and Sean Bowen and to top that he is riding to about 24% so far this year, there is a lot of riders in associated with big yards in the UK that would like his stats i would say.                                                            As for that horse Two Taffs it looked one paced, with a funny head carriage and has appeared to hang right on both its runs so far (i have not seen a head on) but it appears from the jockeys reins as its hanging right, it may come to something over 3 miles/fences in due course but i imagine there are alot better novices than this animal about..

I can assure you gemini01,..on looks this fella stands out..they love him..and he was expected to win yesterday 11/4-7/4..but I heard skelton saying after 3 f theres no pace..his jumping let him down, but hes only a baby
as for harry skelton, stats I don't know..but he fell off one last week that was awful..the whispers are that some of the owners are asking for him not to ride theres..and yesterday he didn't give taffs a particular good ride..but its all about opinions.

Obviously it was a bad ride if you done your conkers on it tony

Opinions..... Oh Yeah.... and for what`s its worth Tony..... Harry S...... is way down the pecking order in my book....... sure if your riding well bred national hunt horses u are bound to get winners in the U.K very few riders over there are worth talking about. Sure McCoy,Johnson where knocking hurdles down and ploughing through fences and still winning races thats how bad they are.
I`m sure Gemi will change his mind in due course.

not really  chealts..although I get were your coming from.
