Three Stripe Life is a ridiculous price for this. He’s 12/1 NRNB and yes he’s 50/50 to run in the Supreme but he needs 2.5 and his form just does not deserve such dismissal
 
Willie could supplement ‘Bring on the night’

I know nish all about this horse other thsn Gavin Lynch talked him up the other day.
 
Willie Mullins referring to Bring on the Night in the Sporting Life.

"We might need to supplement him for the Ballymore as he’s not in it at the moment, the slower gallop would help and he’s definitely good enough to go there."

Because he's going to run both DD and Sir G in the Supreme :D ????

Strange decision IMO.

The Supreme looks hot but the Ballymore not so much on the face of it and his pedigree and the way he’s finished his races off this season suggest stepping up would suit.
 
I believe Townend will want to split Sir Gerhard & Dysart Dynamo up. The fact WP has already made comments about the fact Paul thinks DD would settle fine behind horses leads me to think that this is where DD will end up with Sir Gerhard going to the Supreme.

Looking back at some of DD races here this morning, he was fine on his bumper debut in Clonmel over 2m2f on soft. Never took a pull. Very keen in p’town bumper which has worked out well. Was so keen that day he must b a freak to win as he did. Let bowl off in two novice hurdles then and never saw a rival. He beat flame bearer 30L & he won a grade 2 last week very comfortably. Beat Gringo D’aubrelle 19L, granted over 2m, but that gives us a line through the best English form on offer when Stage Star beat him by 10L in the Challow. His pedigree suggests he’d improve for a step up in trip. I think there will be pace as neither Journey with me or Ginto will want this to develop into a sprint.

I think Dysart is a good thing here. Left hand first time the only slight concern.
 
If Breizh Alco wins at Sedgfield today I am going to bow to your superior knowledge and back Dysart Dynamo NRNB at 9/4.

If he does run he'll be evens at best as none of Henderson's are going and his own stable companion wont go.

As far as Sir Gerhard goes he's very fast and that would worry me as he may not get 2m5f in a fast run race

Will he win both races by doing that though!
 
As far as Willie goes his owners may well leave the decisions to him
I can't see him not splitting them when he can pick up the Ballymore quite easily by the looks of things.

JP won't be for shirking the challenge and ehere is not a cat in hells chance Michel Buckley will switch

as he has a large bet on Constitution Hill at 33/1.

I would still love to see all 4 go but that's probably no more than wishful thinking on my part

First leg home and dry. Nice lump some if he goes and win but nothing to lose:) g/l
 
Talking to him???????

I think he's been favourite for ages before NRNB came out and they just shortened him again when it did

DD you can have 2 quid on at 8/1 but for 200 quid you could make him favourite.

The smallest romour and out come the 2 quid punters and the market goes topsy turvy with the sheep coming right behind.

You could be right but the only way to be sure is try having 500 quid on DD at 8/1 and see if you get matched....I'll wait here:lol:
 
Racing tv were talking to the betfair guy about today's movers etc and he said about Sir Gerhard.
I'm not worried either way as I dont back shorties and I havent a clue.
When horses win by big margins at 4/11 and 1/3 etc they should do.its all about potential and it's all about opinions.

I only had £500 on a horse once and it frightened the sh*t out of me.

I was at Newbury that day, with my tenner on? Didn’t GMOOT there fall at the last to save our bacon, Outsider?

£500? Great call.

I know it was uncomfortable viewing.ivwas in w,hills and I wouldnt have liked to know what my heart race was.
After the race they said it had a touch of flu.
 
Better judge than me Outsider I thought it had no chance and the weights and backed Alan Kings horse win only

Much depends with me on where the money comes from.

I had a fiver on the SFC at kelso yesterday and 10 quid on the winner at 10.5 on the machine plus at fiver on a losing SFC...total stake was 20 quid

I put the lot on Hughsie today at 2.44 which duly won and put the profit on Dysart Dynamo at 9/4 nrnb

If it runs and wins I get a return of Do The Sums but it doesn't worry me one bit.....too old to care win or lose but do prefer the former:lol:
