Punchestown Day 3

[Bar the Bull]

I have already had a bet on Sweeps Hill at 5/1 each way without the fav.

1/4 the odds first two.

 

[Bar the Bull]

Anybody looking to bet each way in the 3m hurdle G1, do so with Stan James or Bet365, as they are the only bookies going 1/4 the odds on a place.

 

[On The Bridle]

Saint Gervais in the bumper and Sweeps Hill is no 16/1 chance in the Grade 1 Novices (so I'm told)

Queue maasive rush to back Saint Gervais at any price.....

 

[Irish Stamp]

The way I've gone this week you'll see a huge drift in the place market OTB

 

[Hamm]

What makes you fancy Saint Gervais Martin?

I like the Henderson one..

 

[chroniclandlord]

Any word of Barry O'Neill? It looked nasty when his mount slipped on the flat in the first.

 

[Irish Stamp]

Just what I've been told Hamm - trainer generally speaking does well with his bumper horses, there's been good money for it this morning by the looks of it and for anyone who wants a conspiracy theory I'm sure he'd like a winner on his birthday

Hope he's ok CL - rode the biggest winner of his career yesterday on a mare I always back (but didn't yesterday) and doing very well as a QR.

 

[Irish Stamp]

Henderson horse is a worthy favourite though having won what could be an ok bumper FTO, the third ran well at Fairyhouse the other day (albeit beaten 15+ lengths).

 

[Muttley]

I'm sure this is the horse Paul Nicholls and connections went to buy in France but were outbid by J.P. so they bought Kato Star instead. Funny old game

Garde Champetre was a Million in Mind horse with Paul Nicholls. As with all the MIM horses, he was sold on after a year. PFN tried to keep him in the yard but was outbid. The horse suffered an injury not longer after he changed hands.

 

[Hamm]

I think Captain Chris is really vulnerable here after a long season and he might not get the searching pace he may well need over 2m. I have also dabbled on Sweeps Hill..

 

[bigfow]

Captain Chris could become one of my favourite horses

 

[EC1]

Captain Chris could become one of my favourite horses

pretty good isn't he?

 

[Bar the Bull]

He is great. I have liked him for a while. He'd be the type of horse that would walk over hot coals for you.

 

[Colin Phillips]

"Wasn't there 'a mention' for BURN AND TURN (7.15) on here some months ago?

I seem to remember a forum connection to the horse?!"


No response to this and it goes and wins at 13/2!!:blink:

 

[Ardross]

Captain Chris was brave here today terrific stuff.

 

[Euronymous]

Like the runner-up he always finds a lot under pressure. I think he'll be special over further but wouldn't be up to tacking a Queen Mother.

 

[Miss Nero]

What will they do with Mikael D'Haguenet now?

 

[Gearoid]

Keep him over hurdles for certain.
