Fancy anything at Fairy tomorrow
Report Bigwillystyle November 15, 2016 7:34 PM GMT
Very little to be honest. Have my eye on a few but tomorrow won't be their day.

Thought Kuwait Star had a chance in the 3rd at 25/1. Couple of nice runs in maiden hurdles and miles out of the handicap against good horses last time but he jumped well. Against rubbish tomorrow. Wish there was a decent claimer on board.

33/1 with Billys now. Not sure about the step up in trip suiting , Some Neck the bain of my punting life last year , think I might give him a last chance tomorrow ,will wait till I see how strong Willies in in the market in the opener, White Arm might be worth a look later on .Not sure if I'll even go tbh.
Report Bigwillystyle November 15, 2016 8:02 PM GMT
White Arm has 2 stone to play with but can't touch it in a race like that.

The trick with that crowd is let them get on,then sweep up the crumbs imo.

Not saying they will Willie, have seen many a horse get its marching orders when the price had gone.

Totally agree about scumbag McManus. Wouldn't touch one of his normally. If I see money for one of his the night before you are save enough laying it.
Somebody has had a fiver e/w on Kuwait Star I see!!

into 12/1 now.  Tony must have gotten tired of backing 6/4 shots and decided to have his fiver on the star Laugh

So Willie its looking as if they're taking no chances ,that outfit you back with must have laid it for a £10...Laugh

Didnt get on unfortunately and not going to do so at 12's now.  Overnight prices should be boycotted!  Id say Tony popped down to his local Billys last night and had his few pounds on...

No way Willie, he's not that type of punter ,not giving away anything but he has a account with that firm of yours,so maybe he said it in passing and they had a fiver on themselves hence the drop in price...Devil..Some Neck has always looked as if he needed a step up in trip ,hopefully he proves that today. Backed ADV the day he won at Naas and was really taken with him.
Report Bigwillystyle November 16, 2016 9:49 AM GMT
If one of Willie's dont win a bumper after 2 or 3 goes they generally should be left alone.  This is a big drop in class for him but wouldnt trust him.  Elliotts horse is useless so very little to beat.

As for Tony have no idea about his background or who he bets with.  As for the firm of mine??  no idea what you are talking about
Report workrider November 16, 2016 10:12 AM GMT
365 , seem to remember you telling me you punted big with that outfit. Agree re Some Neck, his final chance ,doubt Elliott has too many useless horses tbh, they'ed be out the door very quickly ...

So I hear Laugh. I know what you meant, early start today @ Fairy,and Clonmel is nearly as bad tomorrow , I'll have to ask for a rise from the dole,its not even covering my petrol money..Devil

What do you think of Herminator @ Clonmel tomorrow ,a talking horse on here earlier on ,worth a look tomorrow ?
Report Bigwillystyle November 16, 2016 10:38 AM GMT
He is not running tomorrow.  He is not finishing his races.  Probably not helped with the sack of crap he has on board.  Id say they are targeting the handicap hurdle he ran in last Christmas.

That's me finished with that yoke ,never looked as if it would win , another C.F.imo,lots of promise but fails to deliver. Hardly a sinner there today.
Report dj876 November 16, 2016 7:21 PM GMT
Please tell me CF is not supposed to be Champagne Fever.

There has rarely been a bumper/novice hurdler that has ever outperformed his ability as much as him. He won the Cheletenham festival bumper followed 12 months later by a supreme novice hurdle and you're comparing him to a horse beaten in 3 bumpers and a maiden hurdle.

A dual festival winner is classified as failing to deliver. Can this place get any worse? Standard is at rock bottom, no worthwhile debate and this type of gibberish rightly is driving people away.

beaten in 5 bumpers even but hey they wore the same pink jersey

I can't help laugh at him, where is Fuddys to defend him. We said as usual dj.
Report wildmanfromborneo November 16, 2016 7:50 PM GMT
I doubt if Workrider meant Champagne Fever.
Willie Mullins had another horse running in bumpers starting with Champagne,a serial loser it could have been him.
It could also be Champagne James,he of the kissing spine.

I wouldn't write off Some Neck just yet,he coud turn out like another of Willie Mullins who was beaten favourite and finished second in all his bumpers.
He won a big race later,can any of ye name him.

Report mincer11 November 16, 2016 8:06 PM GMT
To be fair to the old wonkatonk, and i have no doubt in my mind he did mean Champagne Fever, the horse was beaten fav at odds of 4/5 11/8 1/4 1/1 8/15 11/4 5/4 4/5 3/1 3/1, so he was beaten fav 10 times, so that dirty thing that ran today is only half way there.
Id write off some neck Dan, hes an absolute hound and as slow as a man.

Strange ride I thought on the Fav in the Bumper as it surrendered whatever slim chance it had with the winner being ridden like that for a turn of foot when it's about the most one paced WPM Bumper horse I've seen in a while.

Certainly in the Ricci silks anyhow.
Report wildmanfromborneo November 17, 2016 7:35 AM GMT
Hedgehunter is correct.
I think Some Neck will be a different horse when he sees a fence,plenty of races in him.
One draw back is that unlike Hedgehunter he is by what I believe to be a disappointing sire.

Punchestown ,backed him thinking the same ,thought he would try and run the finish out of them ,knew my fete after a couple of furlongs.
