while i agree that i think, ultimately, Ballyburn will go chasing I don't think Willie keeping him at over 2 miles this week completely rules out a Champion Hurdle campaign

Sir Gino on the drift

statement from hendo most definitely won't see him again this season

not sure how you'd have managed that given the horse didn't even run at the festival this year

what have we got? :D i thought quotes of 40/1 for Shishkin gold cup was a bit wild. if he goes and wins a king george he's a 3rd of that surely and you cant hold this week against him or any hendo horse. funny the exchange isn't even quoting Corbetts Cross who has to be a player. i suspect...

thanks for organising DJ. will send that DM over at somepoint. :thumbsup:

best since Kauto/Denman for my money

1:30 Storm Heart 2;10 So Scottish 2:40 Readin Tommy Wrong 3:30 Galopin Des Champs (NAP) 4:10 Its On The Line 4:50 Limerick Lace 5:30 Waterford Whispers

strong pace turned that into a test of stamina and suited the winner. hell of a week for skelton so far.

1.30 - Grey Dawning 2.10 - Popova 2.50 - Envoi Allen 3.30 - Teahupoo 4.10 - Arctic Bresil 4.50 - Brighterdaysahead (NAP) 5.30 - Inothewayurthinkin

enjoyable day on course. ballyburn majestic, even if he beat very little. fact to file jumped super and won easily enough. another great prospect. champ chase was a bit of an anti climax but fair play to the hdb/rb combo.

Day 2 13:30 Ballyburn (NAP) 14:10 Fact to File 14:50 Jigoro 15:20 El Fabiolo 16:10 Delta Work 16:50 Hardy Du Seuil 17:30 Jasmin De Vaux

of fact to file? not really but it's probably not a race to to read too much into formwise. GW went out like a light a fair way from home.

depends how much you take that race at face value..

yeah probably just wanted the lead for as long as possible too a very talented horse in a substandard renewal
