He was very poor today, I was clinging to an RSA tilt that’s long dead, 4m only option but opponents very tough there. He might be goosed

Yeah, he just needed to run ok today to go the Chelt in half decent form. Still no doubt the 4 miler has been the plan all year.

Surely its a Handicap chase now for Blow by Blow. Or of 142 before been pulled up today is very workable.

Where does he run though? The cynic in me suspects he could get something line 146 when he goes over to keep him out of KM.

Ultima is 3 miles + isnt it.

I had hoped for a nice slog in the 4m for blow by blow, don't think I'm as confident now

Yeah it's 3 mile and a bit I think but tends to be for the classier staying handicappers whereas the Kim Muir is a lot more winnable.

Just in my local RR, does be good craic. And they put on a curry for Gold Cup day

The Mig

Free grub in my local(s) also. Either a bowl of chicken curry or a bowl of stew.
Losing dockets into a drum for a raffle for free bets after every race

RivetingRoger

Ye're pubs take bets?
I know a few have a "deal"with a certain bookies firm from up north
dunno how that works exactly but they pay from till
Best way to do it, Bar one.....eh i mean bar none......cough

The Mig

No Roger it's PP vouchers from the shop next door.

The pub that's actually closest to me but wouldn't be close to a bookies uses Dial-a-Bet with PP I think

Is it still the Lotus.... changes it's name monthly these days :pac:

They'd be a couple of Shels fans who drink there.... including my aul lad - he'd be the lad who runs the social club in there and roars out the winning lotto numbers on a Sunday around 10pm :pac: :pac:

The Track across the bridge loves being cleared out during Cheltenham

Looks like she could be very classy, form of maiden and last race(was all over Meades horse before falling) working out nicely and she surely improves again for step up.
De Bromheads novice hurdlers in fine fettle this year.

Bullishness aside, couldn't believe it when she was priced up at tens.. looks close to the right price now.

It has an Albert Bartlett entry, so is it possible it's out for a spin today?

Fanny Wank

Why would a horse with a Grade 1 entry (presuming that's the target) be "out for a spin"?

Shanee.

Few nice chasers were beaten in behind in Paloma Blue and Lostintranslation. Sharjah wasnt even sighted either. I wouldnt pass judgement yet until after Cheltenham, personally I think Kalashnikov should be upped in distance

Johner

Apparently Cyrname will be the highest rated jumps horse when the ratings from the weekend come out tomorrow. Stunning performance but talk about an over reaction.

He may never do it again, but its hard to argue with that run. He beat a field of grade 1 horses silly, with loads in hand. Don't think he is going to cheltenham.

I think he's going straight to Punchestown, not sure if he's ever ran at Cheltenham actually.

It was a brilliant performance but to be rated higher than Altior based on 1 run doesn't sit right with me.

Ridiculous carry on, hammered off 150 in November.

Angliru

The horse could have done backflips crossing the post and it still wouldn't justify getting a higher rating than Altior. Madness.

But how much would ya put him up. He beat 5 grade 1 horses by 12 lengths.



Right now it was the best or second best performance this year (altior beating UDS) (Apples Jade as well)
