Is it not a bit sad that a wonderful and highly successful trainer like Dermot Weld

I presume you are refering to Zulu Alpha,who was friendless tonight and didn't get an overly hard race.
Ought to be spot on now if he takes up his 27th engagement.

O' Briens Utah was also only out for a look, his other runner was very strong and duly obliged.

While Martin rightly got the book thrown at him, the above two are immune.

The Utah "ride" beyond belief,it was going to make a bit of belated headway in the straight until forced up the ar$e of a back marker.   (No bet in race)

Pa I didnt even see tonights race and was talking in general terms. Tbf DK is a saint when compared with many of the shysters around

Sorry Arkle, i just thought that was such a tender ride and took it for granted, in general terms some of LR,s one are dubious,you know you are probably right but you couldn't go to court.
For what its worth anyway that looked at about a 90 mark for Zulu Alpha.
His uses of jocks is the best around.

It was so blatant Punchestown,the script was written pre race, Shamie was laughable i thought but the serious side isn't so.

all the jocks are great lads........all the trainers are shrewd..........hi taxpayer, please send the 250m again next year.......we want a party every week...........non triers?...........there have been 2 in two years..............

Zulu Alpha.

1/2 length behind Anthony Van ****

What rating now if it came back..anyone's guess.

Though it was given an Arazi type ride last night having been detached for most of the race and finished like a train

Zulu Alpha - just 1/2 L behind Anthony Van **** last night in the Breeder's Turf.

would be rated higher than '90' now..

I thought he was going to do an Arazi last night having been detached for a fair way but finished like a train.

oops
