Declared to run tomorrow although the meeting is under threat

UrbanSea · 01-10-2011 12:46PM

Meeting goes ahead.

Gavin "shels" · 01-10-2011 01:57PM

Debating whether to lump my biggest bet on Sizing Europe, waiting to hear off my mate but still no word. SE has won me a mint at this stage from his 14/1 win at Cheltenham and Bromhead sussing himself and Big Zeb on a reverse last time out.

cson · 01-10-2011 03:10PM

Present for SE there.

Davy the jew remounting for the 3rd prizemoney too.

Gavin "shels" · 01-10-2011 03:19PM

Jesus SE got lucky there! Jammy gem!:D

hucklebuck · 01-10-2011 03:46PM

I was hoping he would hit the last, thank god he is ok.

Cee Bee is entered in 3:40 in Tipp tomorrow, back hurdling again, can't figure out why it took them so long to switch him back. Not sure I can back him with ****ing McCoy after the last ride he gave him over hurdles

Colonel Sanders · 01-10-2011 04:50PM

Would have laid SE at odds on as his first run last year was a disgrace also. Went out walking, back just in time for the race but he 2.1 on betfair to lay so left it (thankfully)

With the ground the way it was and as previously said his run 1st time last year in mind nobody in their right mind could've backed SE. Those that did got as lucky as they'll ever get

On a more positive note Rubi Light could really be a force on 2m4 - 3m soft ground chases in Ireland.

Totally agree, I reckon he could win a few top races in England. If he was mine I would throw him into the Melling and/or Old Roan and then the Queen Mother.

Where do you think First Lieutenant will be targeted?

RSA ultimately I'd guess, big strapping son of Presenting so 3m should be OK eventually

He won a Grade 1 hurdle on soft ground at Xmas last year so should have no problem being campaigned in Ireland but being by Presenting & judging by his Ballymore win the spring ground won't bother him either

Only thing is they really f**ked about with him in the first 1/3 of last season so while at first glance tomorrow's race looks a penalty kick there's absolutely no guarantee he'll be in any way fully wound up

Colonel Sanders · 02-10-2011 10:11AM

Captain Cee Bee a non-runner at Tipp

Colonel Sanders · 02-10-2011 02:45PM

Serious performance from The Real Article there

ganjaman · 03-10-2011 07:35PM

Cue Card could be making his chasing debut on Saturday at Chepstow providing they get some rain.i live 15 miles from chepstow and we are due rain 2moro up untill the weekend

Not cracked about Cue Card at all and I don't think he is that good. His form looked promising until Cheltenham when it looked like Menorah was a top class horse.

Not sure was he always set for chasing either, probably a case of too many better horses such as Grandouet, Spirit Son and Zarkander that look like staying over hurdles to contend with.

meriwether · 04-10-2011 12:16PM

Thank the lord the jumps is back. Its been a long 6 months.

Quite impressed with 1st L

Beat a decent yardstick and jumped OK (room fro improvement there). Mouse never has em fit first time out (his last 16 chase debutantes were beaten) so this was a very taking chase debut in a Grade 3. He also needed his first run badly last year (read wasn't off a yard)

Colonel Sanders · 05-10-2011 08:51PM

Noble Prince and Realt Dubh in at Limerick on Sunday

Although NP is entered on the flat at the Curragh also

Colonel Sanders · 05-10-2011 09:37PM

Munster National on Sunday, I'm heading to Limerick for a few drinks and then will be at the races Sunday

God bless the jumps

As meriwether said, it's been a long 6 months!

Nulty · 07-10-2011 10:50PM

My favorite thing about the start of a new jumps season is watching back the races from the previous season. Looking forward to watching them all back in the coming weeks.

UrbanSea · 07-10-2011 11:18PM

Something I find helps me when backing jumpers is not to take short prices on first time out novice chasers or novice hurdlers

mr.jingle · 08-10-2011 10:21AM

The best thing about the start of this jumps season is waiting to see what Paul Nicholls next superstar is going to be.

Johner · 08-10-2011 03:21PM

Good start for Cue Card.

sting60 · 09-10-2011 05:43PM

speaking to Philip Fenton at Roscommon Dunguib will not run this NH year.The taboids dont have this yet ,he is sore on his stifle.

meriwether · 10-10-2011 09:21PM

Had a look at the entreis for the week, there is a potentially good chase in Punchestown on Thursday, 2m7. Forpadytheplaster is entered.

Zaynar is entered in a chase in Cheltenham this weekend.

In other news, I bought the racing post guide to the jumps on Sunday. €10. Middling enough trainer reviews, with no review of any Irish trainer. A guide to the jumps that has Evan Williams but not Wille Mullins? How do.
It does have a short bio of all the 400 in the TTF though, which isn't bad.

The novice chase season look unbelievable already - Al ferof, Peddlers Cross, Menorah, Sprinter Sacre, Solwit, Grands Crus, Bobs Worth, while horses exiting their novice year include Captain Chris and Finians Rainbow.

Very exciting.

Looking forward to Spirit Son in the hurdling too.

UrbanSea · 12-10-2011 03:28PM

Some nice racing tomorrow at Punchestown.

In a novice chase Rathlin and Shinrock Paddy make their chasing debuts
http://www.irishracing.com/cards/v5card071201110131545.htm

The race after sees Forpaddydeplasterer in a three horse race. Likely to be odds on and is well clear on ratings plus gets 8 pounds from his nearest rival on weight,but I reckon you'd still want to be off your rocker to back him over 2 mile 7

Lay of the season, he will be second

Have I missed something, how is he receiving weight?

meriwether · 13-10-2011 08:21AM

3 runners in a €20k race?

And people are whinging about prize money, are they?

UrbanSea · 13-10-2011 04:03PM

Oh dear lord.

I'm on a break from college here and just saw the result. I would have layed the life of him if I thought he'd be anywhere near 4/11,I though 4/5 would be a good price for the lay.

Absolutely gutted.

Not the Irish prize money. Evan Williams won a chase there last week and said that he'd bring more horses over because of the good prize money compared to England

Urban why bother waiting for a decent lay price especially in a small field, if you had backed Ri Du Mee @11/4 with 2.5 points and Jadanli @ 14/1 with 0.5 points both to win, then you are going to be up 3.8 - 4 points if either win.

UrbanSea · 13-10-2011 07:22PM

But laying at 11/4 is better than backing the two of them

meriwether · 13-10-2011 09:04PM

There's something not right with forpadytheplasterer.

How can he be second that many times?

Sheer fluke?

UrbanSea · 13-10-2011 09:13PM

No fluke.

Not good enough springs to mind. Or unwilling to get in front.

And today was a second only in number

UrbanSea · 14-10-2011 04:57PM

First Lieutenant goes chasing Sunday at Cork

Zaynar goes chasing tomorrow

Dandino has gone to Nicky Henderson for a jumping campaign. Triumph hurdle winner? Oh, nno he'd be 5 by then. Either the novice handicap or the Supreme novices.

Neptune investment or fred winter. **** if I know at this stage!

UrbanSea · 15-10-2011 12:26AM

Stayed a mile 6 on the flat,could be a Neptune horse

And they're chucking Oscar Dan Dan over fences at 9yo.

I totally missed that.

supremenovice · 15-10-2011 05:25PM

I think I seen Pricewise tip The Real Article anti-post for the Champion Hurdle.
Has the chap gone mad? Hes nowhere near the Hurricane Fly / Binocular class.

lukemcdog · 15-10-2011 08:05PM

Up coming star rakamasi had a bad run today and had to be pulled up

UrbanSea · 15-10-2011 08:09PM

He's hardly an up and coming star?

UrbanSea · 16-10-2011 12:47PM

I see Marsh Warbler is entered in the horses for training sale

He hammered a 155 rated horse last time out at Tipp (albeit getting weight) so taken literally puts him somewhere in the 160+ bracket

Still behind the Fly but who's to say he can't improve further? And in any case no horse is guaranteed to make the festival. 33/1 was the price he tipped it at which I don't see too much wrong with

I don't lay on betfair but if you lay a horse and give odds of 4/11, if the horse loses surely you only get the stake the person that backed the horse placed?

If you lay a horse at 4/11 and you set your liability at 20 euro then the most you lose is 20 but if it loses then you have 20 on at 11/4 basically.

Weapon's Amnesty out for the season

Colonel Sanders · 18-10-2011 06:10PM

Last Installment entered in 2 beginners chases at Galway this weekend

Another exciting prospect for Michael O'Leary

sting60 · 18-10-2011 06:48PM

Dont know if he would beat Sweeps Hill who really looks a chaser.Tough fences to jump for novices and if something wins well then you could see a star in the making.

Sweeps Hill is only 1 from 4 over fences?
