saturdays racing

make that 4 irish runners..missed the one in the first!

I stand corrected easy.

Go back to bed Roland ffs.....

Rigadin de beauchene is a cracking e/w bet in the 2:30 at Chepstow,has lost some of his old sparkle,but he's tackling much easier rivals than what's he use to,will also love the heavy going,

12.20 wild west wind @9/2
I saw this ones bumper , went down to a red hot magnier debutant, nice looking thing and going up in trip will aid its cause, trainers horses normally jump well and good kid in the plate
1.05 flying angel @5/4
this one stood out in the paddock at the course lto and ran with credit going close to a red hot favourite..worry is going back to 2m ,handles the ground.

Forecast not the best lads, hope it doesn,t effect the racing.

Not that i know off, the Cork meeting is off on Sunday....Lame Simonsig ruled out of Tingle Creek i believe.

the cork meeting is off? pity its one of their big days?

thanks huddys, great thing about HRI they sort it quick..

Rathlin also worth a e/w bet in the last tomorrow , as honest as the day is long and the yard is on fire atm

anyone think this JERS GIRL is a worth fav in the listed race?

Also backed Vic's Canvas over the big fences at Aintree,ran over a shorter than ideal spin over hurdles last time out,should be spot on fitness wise for the race tomorrow,e/w at 14/1,also done an e/w double with Rigadin de beauchene,

Thunder and roses for me

Gotchee not since montys pass in 03 has a horse that's won a national won a race on the track

Good point one last chance. However, having won the National most horses are penalised heavily by the handicapper. three or four winners have been placed in subsequent Nationals carrying a lot more weight. In this case Pineau de Re is 2 lbs lower than when winning the National and this arguably is a lesser race. The opportunity to run over the Grand National fences are few and far between.


Many Clouds is running on the Mildmay Course in a level weights Listed race.

The French filly is a small little thing but her form in France is quite solid.

The three she has finished behind on a few occasions would laugh at this field. It is unlikely that any of them will come over however given their owners.

She has had difficulty with the Auteuil hurdles some times, not helped by her size and the jockey being fairly inept at presenting her at the obstacle. She has looked a strong traveller in those races but has not seen the race out as strongly as the fillies that finished in front of her. However Carlita, Caresse and Triana are all top class 3 year olds, so it would not be easy to keep pace with them.

Given the form that she has shown, she should probably be favourite here, but her jockey has looked very awkward at a venue that he knows, so how he will deal with these hurdles is uncertain. If she had a UK jockey on board, it would be a different matter and I would bet her. I think she still has a very decent chance and will have a small interest given her price. She could be one that could trade short enough in running if he can get her jumping.

Huddys would be worried for Punch tomorrow ,it would be a pity if its abandoned .

subtitles ?

Swardean, both you and iron norm will need it backing that Ballagh with that clown that is riding it, plus he is a 6yo, who dont have a great record in the race..

You were right Gemini, needs stepping back up to 3 miles and he could be ok.   Not sure how many 6yo would have run in the race tbf.
