Who do you think won't run?
May get third, but unlikely imo. Definitely not anywhere near odds on. Hard to see him finishing ahead of honeysuckle, sharjah or Petit mouchoir on current form. If they all run, he's not odds on to be placed if there's only 4 runners.

Ballycaine, Saglawy, Apples Jade, Monsieur Lecoq, Darver Star.
Also have a feeling one of other Mullins trio will drop out.

Supasundae has the best form in the book. Sure he beat Buever D'air after chasing him home 8 months ago.
He has beaten Petit Mouchoir every time they've met.
Sharjah looks better for sure. I don't think he'll beat Honeysuckle.
Also, he hasn't been injured so no concerns in that regard, this has been mooted as the plan a long way out.

Not sure about the racecourse, but Central Park has a Centra that has an ATM in it, and there's an Ulster bank ATM up towards the Clayton too.

The Mig

Usually one of them Bank Of Ireland vans there in the racecourse with 4 or 5 ATMs attached to them. There is at Xmas so I'd assume the DRF will be the same

I think Townend just really likes Al Boum Photo for some reason.

Mullins running his big guns against each other in all races (with exception of Al Boum Photo). Looks like a great (and informative) weekend's racing ahead.

Plasandrunt

shift in the betting on the back of those jockey bookings, Melon into 9/2 from 8s and Bapaume out to 6s from 7/2

Melon still 7/1 with a couple of books of that interests people. Boyles the main one.

Plasandrunt

Yeah PP were the first firm to price the race up after the decs, all other firms seem to have Melon much bigger?

His string were slower to come to hand this weekend will be telling on that strategy he could absolutely clean up if they are about to hit form

RivetingRoger

Cant see any price for most of the race on Boyle website?

Plasandrunt

Skybet haven't updated the jockey bookings yet and still have older prices

It's in the ante post national hunt section.

There is a few ATMs as mentioned but they can get quite busy - best to be prepared. Don't think they do cashback.

WicklowBravee

Great that Min is running. Would have been sheer idiocy to leave him in his stable.

Townend riding the Arkle winner. Won’t be winning on Saturday though.

Irishdaywalker

4 ATM's - 2 at parade ring and 2 just inside main grandstand entrance. No cashback anywhere. Suggest you bring cash beforehand Q's can be long at Atm's!

The Mig

Robert Hall's last weekend presenting racing on RTE this weekend

theaceofspies

Some card on Saturday @ Leopardstown.


Interesting times lay ahead - the Dublin Racing Festival is up and running now and doing a lot of the right things that Cheltenham is abandoning with its proposal to go to 5 days of racing.


Diluting Championship racing is a Cul-de-Sac.


Two proper days of racing coming on Saturday& Sunday.

He looks more and more like a tortoise whenever I see him. He's earned his rest

He does indeed. It's taken him a long time to get there.

Why, two days out from actually attending the event, is someone asking about ATMs at the track? Why would you not just go and get money out this evening - or tomorrow morning - or tomorrow evening - or Saturday morning before you get to Leopardstown? The ATMs at Leopardstown get manic busy after the first race and the queues persist pretty much all day.

Also, the Tote do cashback at every track in the country although they don’t exactly do a good job of letting people know.

Plasandrunt

Min running on nicely behind CPS and A Plus Tard hopefully, don't want any thoughts of him going to the Champion Chase

Rory Delargy very against Honeysuckle tomorrow
Also very on the side of Min

I would be happy to just watch the champion hurdle, might have a few bob on KD if it drifts anymore for an interest

townend getting off min is a weird one for me. clearly the form horse.

chacan must have only ran to 70% or thereabouts the last day if townend is on him, he has to leave that run well behind

Slattsy

Min better over 2 1/2 so can understand PT not riding him.

Agree re Chacan, he must be some tool. Get on now for the Champion Chase!

Double with Min in the Ryanair

The Mig

Sunday Decs are out. Laurina confirmed for Sandown tomorrow too

davehey79

RivetingRoger

Aba straight to Supreme so?

BumperD

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a better 2 days of racing cards some line up at Leopardstown

yaboya1

Asterion Forlonges for me in that race.
Will he go for supreme then given owners also have shiskin?

Who's he with? Honeysuckle has great potential and I am a fan but she has the second best form in the race. Sharjah should be disputing favoritism at the minimum. Her price is at least half a tick off where it should be. Said as much earlier on the ante post prices.

The Mig

AF for me also in that race at 6's. Very impressive LTO

Slattsy

Ground going to be riding good enough i'd have thought? Good to soft, soft in places? Not much rain around Dublin lately.
