Cork and Navan

Cracking card at Navan.

The novice hurdle is worth travelling for alone.

I know I've bleated on about Stone Hard and Tycoon Prince before, but I am honestly baffled about the price of Bellshill. 1.43 against this pair, with an exciting sort from Roches thrown in aswell??

Fu**in madness IMO.

If someone told me for Xmas, I could take home two of the 3 principles in this, I would take Stone Hard and Tycoon Prince all day long. Yes their real future lies in 3m chasing, but I would be in no way surprised if one of them wins a Gold Cup.

Bellshill won his maiden very impressively, but it was the proverbial egg and spoon. I wouldn't be hugely convinced that he wants 2m4f in an absolute bog tomorrow either. Of course he might win, but I wouldn't even have him favourite, never mind 2-5.

Tycoon has to be forgiven his last run, but as a backer the last day, I was never happy. He was never travelling. That makes it much easier to excuse, as the world and his mother knows he's better than that. Had he been beat a hard fought 2 length by Thomas Hobson, having travelled well...well then maybe that would be as good he is.

He is a lot better.

Stone Hard was behind Bellshill in the Champion Bumper, but started well backed at 4points shorter than his stablemate. It was a non event for both of them. Has anything happened since to suggest there should be the gulf between them in the betting that there is tomorrow??

Not for me. Stone Hard is going to relish tomorrows test.

I cant wait for it!! Just hope there is no more rain, and it goes ahead. Bellshill may well win, he is a proper good horse himself. But I am more than prepared to pay to find out.

Gangster should win down in Cork. Forget Galway, he wasn't right and never travelled. Like Tycoon Prince, that was very easy to forgive. He got back on track the last day, will relish the stamina test tomorrow, and should have far too much class for these.

Just noticed jacques ricou is riding stone hard tomorrow, what's that all about?

@corkracecourse: @corkracecourse
Cork Racecourse flooded overnight. Unfortunately today's racing is cancelled.

Ricou is over to work for Mullins over the winter.

Tycoon prince for me

Great write up Callit, enjoyed your synopsis . I also find myself agreeing with you re Bellshill ,he never should be that short with 2 really tough horses taking him on,I'm a layer at that price. Also taking on Ttebbob although he looked impressive  @ Thurles I still think he has it all to do here and is no odds on shot imo against two decent horses ,one i will be backing is Mckinley , I'll never forget the turn he did me at Naas at a huge price . A good thread .

Wonks backing horses out of loyalty cause it's done him a turn before, deary me, I've heard it all now,
That's the type of talk ye come to hear in your local paddy power which is frequented by the mug punter,
You will never be taken seriously on here or garnish and sort of respect with that kinda betting strategy

I am thinking of giving Tycoon prince another go, to be fair ran very poor here the last time but was reported as scoping badly afterwards at the price of 4/1 worth a shot.

Sutton Place,just wait for the excuses...

Going directly against all wonks picks as it happens, backing belshill and ttebbob and laying mc kinley

PUNCH

FINE RIGHTLY NAP

OSCAR KNIGHT EW

JIMMY TWO TIMES EW IF NOT TODAY XMAS  WINNER IN WAITING PRINCELY CONN

STONE HARD

Norn,not off a yard...

Anibale fly available at 7/2 when tipped up my good good self.
It's an easy oul game when ye know your onions.

Nice one chelt, off to a flyer

Cheers snap, well up for the day now.
By the way I'm a massive layer of McKinley, over rated on his hurdles and isn't bred for chasing, I'll be amazed if he wins and if he remains over fences for long.

Good stuff Chelt , nice touch landed

Cheers wasp, ttebbob absolutely skates in, wouldn't have liked to have laid that. Very impressive.

Lads I know it's not saying much but I'm laying tycoon prince in the next just don't fancy it at all looked like he had enough last time out and looks the type to go backwards from here, won't be winning here, massive lay.

An inner circle benefit meeting

cream rising to the top on this thread , wonks should stick to the usa racing ( or stalking) !!

Just mc kinley to get stuffed now for the cherry on top!

Doomsday book here for me in the next race

More chance of wonks stringing a coherent sentence together than McKinley winning here.

Fantastic stuff chelt and snap great thread

Proper racing thread imo

Doomsday book another flat bred horse jumping fences, when will these people ever learn?
As I though with McKinley, useless, fluked a grade 1 over hurdles last season, that was a poor beginners chase as was almost proved when edwulf would have p!ssed up. Great day so far lads

Dressedtothenines 235
Out for an auld spin

Quality Song 3.05 Wolverhampton any price is a good one

All this sand stuff from Snap Crackle and Pop is just skitting,his real forte is on Irish racing.
Two selections on here both won coupled with a lay that was beaten.

Tough day ar the office today alright lads , laid bellshill @ 1.57 backed it back @ 1.7 so small profit .Backed McKinley @ 3.9 and laid it off @ 2.0 again a small profit .

good stuff wonks, adopting the kelly mindset

Naw learnt it on here the other day a few of your mates on here put me right...

lol workrider good to see snap not the only one wins whatever the outcome

It was worth it insideinfo ,amazing what you learn on here

true true tho its just a pity that once you come off the forum fantasy land you realise that your fantasy winnings arent in any of your accounts

Ah don't spoil it for them ,thats cruel Insideinfo 

sorry..i feel like ive just told a kid theres no santa

Don't you mean KIDS

Bellshill won well. Tycoon very disappointing again. No surprise Bells drifted markedly from last nights price.

Anyone else think Townend unseat was very poor?

Tttebbob was very impressive again. Considering the conditions, and how legless Lord Scoundrel was, the winner threw some leap at the last. If he goes to Leop at Xmas, he will be no pushover. Mouthwatering contest if he does.

Poor oul wonky, broke as a joke after today, I hope you have learned a few lessons after your bizarre selections,
A very profitable thread all in all by the main protagonists of the Irish forum.

Chimp , just told you made a small profit , Mincer Yourself Snap and Waspy showed me how to do it , thanks , now I just CANT lose.......
Callit very poor crowd in fact I was nearly turning back near the track there were so few cars heading out the road . Won't give up on T.P. just yet ,sure to be a better chaser ,Ttebbob was impressive and jumped them silly , wouldn't be backing him on better ground against a better grade of horse , think he needs it like a bog..

Your welcome wonks glad we could be of assistance, if your ever thinking of joining the inner circle you will have to prove your worth just a few questions that snap will ask ye.
By the way did anyone see std fall off his yoke on the run in today? Hilarious, just further proves to me he ain't up to the job at Ditcheat.

He clearly aint up to it chelt, would be amazed if he's still in the position by the end of the season. Such has been Nicholls fall from the top though, debatable whether he even needs a stable jock

Ya saw that chelt, if it was victoria pendleton theyd be looking to stop her riding again

It was hilarious lads though feel sorry for the lads who backed it, I've never liked him as a jockey I can't recall one ride where I could say wow what a ride by twisty, he was never the difference between winning, and that's how ye separate the best from the also rans imo.
He couldn't have picked worse colours to do it in either.

I cant believe STD still has that job. Rank average at best.

Nicholls may not have the artillery of old at the mo, but I wouldn't be surprised if he bounces back with a few very good ones soon. Surely Paul Townend should be approached now??

I suppose it all depends when Ruby is going to jack it in. I expected it to be soon enough, but with the never ending conveyor belt of superstars in the WPM yard, it would be hard to walk away.

If Townend doesn't nail that job very soon, he is likely to never get it, as young Mullins may well be ready then.

He may very well be tempted if Nicholls comes a knocking.

NICE DOUBLE FOR STUART CRAWFORD WITH FINE RIGHTLY  LOT MORE RACES TO BE WON   AND BUMPER WINNER AT CARLISLE

WELL DONE WINNERS TODAT CANT BELIEVE I DIDN SEE KILLER CROW OUT TODAY JIMMY TWO TIMES CAN WIN DECENT HURDLE OVER XMAS
