    good runs from Tarnawa and Hurricane Lane today, really is going to be a belter of a race, i've been waiting to back Adayar but the setback gives me hesitation. his form is rock solid though.

    Cheltenham Festival: Could it be five days in 2023?

    wholly unsurprising. racing, and jumps racing in particular, needs cash where it can find it. was hoping the field sizes, competition etc, in this years festival was something of a one off but with Irish festivals either side of it offering decent prize money in the DRF and Punchestown and the...

    The Derby Sat June 5th 2021

    Another strange Derby result but the late gamble combined with Frankel being the sire and Kirby getting the win after being jocked off John Leeper makes it a decent story

    The 2021 Punchestown Festival Tues April 27th - Sat May 1st

    history would suggest she probably won't. she's been outstanding this season and really progressed but she's probably at her peak now. horses generally don't keep that going for very long. it's a pretty weak division though and not sure anything stands out from the crop of novices as an obvious...

    The 2021 Punchestown Festival Tues April 27th - Sat May 1st

    his jumping is probably the only slight neg, its ok but not as slick as the usual top 2 miler. he has some engine on him though and gets horses right out of their comfort zone a long way from home. can't see any reason he won't be aimed at a 2 mile campaign next season. willie will throw as much...

    The 2021 Punchestown Festival Tues April 27th - Sat May 1st

    2 mile division probably in the rudest health it's been in for a long time with Chacun, Shishkin and Energumene the latter looks quite the animal

    The 2021 Punchestown Festival Tues April 27th - Sat May 1st

    monalee was a novice as well at that time. not that its true anyway, PP beat him out of sight in the RSA and I just had a quick google and found this article which shows he was still fave even when he had an abnormal prep of only one run over hurdles. PP was fave the whole year leading into the...

    The 2021 Punchestown Festival Tues April 27th - Sat May 1st

    be hard to find the actual data on this but most rsa winners are around the top of the gold cup betting following the festival pretty certain presenting percy was fave after his rsa win and that was only 3 years ago. also don't think a 4/1 and 8/1 shot in a race "dominate the betting"

    Honeysuckle Puzzle

    personally think she's nailed on to try and double up the champion hurdle but if they did a novice campaign might be a waste of a year while she's at her peak, could do a thistlecrack and put her in some novice races to see how she gets on over fences but with the the gold cup in mind
