good evening
[13-03, 19:42] On The Bridle
3 words only allowed?
[13-03, 19:42] wend64
who we all doing in the champion hurdle ??
[13-03, 19:43] On The Bridle
PEDDLERS CROSS
[13-03, 19:43] wend64
i totally agree
[13-03, 19:44] wend64
theres not really a lot of chat in here eh !!! lol
[13-03, 19:44] On The Bridle
Don't think EC1 does though - I would love to see Peddlers flying the last and bounding up the hill to beat these flat bred ponces!
[13-03, 19:45] EC1
champion hurdle? - we could have done with a thread on that through the winetr
[13-03, 19:46] bigfow
been big on peddlers since his novice win, love the horse
[13-03, 19:46] wend64
ah dont diss the flat horses lol i got a retired one hes no ponce
[13-03, 19:47] On The Bridle
Pity Binocular isn't in the field - buut it still is the race of the festival - although the GC isn't far behind
[13-03, 19:48] EC1
excuse me if i go missing a bit - i'm just on the phone to Nicky Henderson - he wants the number of a good vet
[13-03, 19:48] bigfow
anybody going this year
[13-03, 19:48] wend64
im going on tuesday ,, have been every year for last 5 years best race day ever
[13-03, 19:49] On The Bridle
What are your ante-post positions EC1? Apart from the obvious 2 in the CH that is?
[13-03, 19:49] EC1
no - last time i went was about 85 - See You Then won it first time - Desert Orchid ran in the CH and John Francome was in his last year riding - it were a beautiful day as well
[13-03, 19:49] EC1
i don't bother with AP - i only backed them two due to all the hot air I was making on the thread
[13-03, 19:50] On The Bridle
Enjoy the day wend64, will you be having any bets?
[13-03, 19:50] Tout Seul
Despite a general view that this is one of the better renewals imo this whilst likely to be competitive does not have any superstars
[13-03, 19:50] bigfow
good wend64, never been on the Tuesday. Traveling down from Edinburgh on the wedensday for the last 2 days
[13-03, 19:50] wend64
on peddlers in champion ! think he is the one to beat
[13-03, 19:51] EC1
he is a nuisance old Nicky - he's been asking if i have a betfair account now
[13-03, 19:51] On The Bridle
Does have the possibility of unearthing a new superstar should one of the young(ish) pretenders win.
[13-03, 19:51] Tout Seul
here's hoping
[13-03, 19:52] On The Bridle
Do you think Karma or the BHA had a part to play in this am's announcement
[13-03, 19:53] wend64
if binocular was running i dont think he would win it
[13-03, 19:53] Tout Seul
Sheer incompetence is most likely reason. If I were JP I'd be livid.
[13-03, 19:54] wend64
personally i dont think he is very genuine
[13-03, 19:54] EC1
yes i just asked Nicky how JP took it - he says he's not told him yet
[13-03, 19:55] Tout Seul

[13-03, 19:55] On The Bridle
Heard he's moved him to C Roche's - hoping to give him a few quiet runs and go for a punt in the 0-125 hcap hurdle in Bellewstown 2013
[13-03, 19:56] Tout Seul
Suggest we talk about lesser aspects, horses, etc as mnay will not join until later
[13-03, 19:56] On The Bridle
Is that the horse or connections wend64?
[13-03, 19:58] EC1
where are you folk from? - i live in Chesterfield with the bent spire
[13-03, 19:59] bigfow
Edinburgh Ec1
[13-03, 19:59] Tout Seul
Given the likely going does Clerks choice have any chance iyo
[13-03, 19:59] On The Bridle
Cork, Ireland
[13-03, 19:59] wend64

[13-03, 19:59] Tout Seul

[13-03, 20:00] EC1

[13-03, 20:01] wend64

[13-03, 20:01] EC1

[13-03, 20:01] dvds2000

[13-03, 20:05] Grasshopper
Consider this post accompanied by the sounds of the Impereial March from Star Wars, EC1
[13-03, 20:05] EC1
o shit
[13-03, 20:05] EC1
just going to mash a t bag Grass
[13-03, 20:06] Grasshopper
might do the same myself
[13-03, 20:07] Tout Seul
See you at 8.30
[13-03, 20:18] EC1
all set - i have set waking the dead to record - so - is there any decent racing this week?
[13-03, 20:20] granger
Good evening all
[13-03, 20:20] EC1
ah hello Granger..the all is just me i'm afraid at the moment
[13-03, 20:21] wend64
im still about
[13-03, 20:22] EC1
sorry Wend..didn't see you behind the curtains there
[13-03, 20:22] dvds2000
51 people online now, getting busy in here
[13-03, 20:23] swedish chef
Hi all, London calling - and here are the results of the UK panel.
[13-03, 20:23] Hamm
What section is for GH and his pro H Fly comments?
[13-03, 20:23] EC1
51? - crikey
[13-03, 20:24] granger
few in hiding. They'll soon show themselfes
[13-03, 20:24] EC1
hey up Hamm's here - how are you?
[13-03, 20:24] EC1
is there a list of who is in here..or does it just show who has posted?
[13-03, 20:24] granger
Grassy is around. In the mean time no besmirching of the hurricane
[13-03, 20:25] swedish chef
cant believe the news about binocular - great shame
[13-03, 20:25] EC1
he's gone to make a tea - must be stewed now..mind you he's slowing down a bit these days
[13-03, 20:25] trackside528
Evening all, we'll kick off just after half eight and go through the main races in chronological order.
[13-03, 20:25] Hamm
Granger, my most heartfely apologies
[13-03, 20:26] EC1
outragious Chef..i been getting madder by the hour over it.
[13-03, 20:26] Hamm
As Spirit Son will win the Supreme, could we not just start with the Arkle?
[13-03, 20:26] dvds2000
theres no list of who is in the chat, just how many are on the forum, I could see there had been 51 people accessed the chat box in the previous 5 minutes, but that could be just people coming onto the page
[13-03, 20:27] swedish chef
haven't had the chance to catch up on the full story but did hear about a substance in his blood - heard mcmanus had a fortune on him - ouch
[13-03, 20:29] EC1
spirit son won't win - rumour has it he's been on the mars bars
[13-03, 20:30] EC1

[13-03, 20:30] On The Bridle
Is there an MC or are we just going with the flow?
[13-03, 20:30] Grasshopper
I've no idea what you're talking about, Hamm.....I've backed Oscar Whisky and Celestial Halo
[13-03, 20:31] trackside528
Right ready to roll
[13-03, 20:31] trackside528
Start off with the curtain raises
[13-03, 20:31] trackside528
raiser even
[13-03, 20:31] EC1
thats silly Grass - Oscar can't win
[13-03, 20:32] trackside528
SUPREME NOVICE
[13-03, 20:32] On The Bridle
Are we rolling??
[13-03, 20:32] trackside528
Cue Card - are we for or against?
[13-03, 20:33] granger
I'm against cue card. Think something will do him for toe. Namely Spirit son
[13-03, 20:33] bigfow
not raced in a while which is against it
[13-03, 20:33] Euronymous
Neither. There are far worse favs to oppose this week
[13-03, 20:33] Grasshopper
For.......even a very pessimistic view of the Bula puts him 150+....and that will win most running s of this......with improvement, I expect him to be very hard to beat
[13-03, 20:33] swedish chef
Hoping Ruby gets his way and Sam winner runs in this
[13-03, 20:33] On The Bridle
Was against all along but my choice Day of a Lifetime doesn't run so at 9/4 with powers or second place money back with Boyles I'm for!
[13-03, 20:34] EC1
I'll row in with Gibb River - as long as he ain't been the yorkies
[13-03, 20:34] Grasshopper
Ruby on Al Ferof apparently
[13-03, 20:34] EC1
sorry about bold
[13-03, 20:34] Hamm
I like Gibb River again at 25s
[13-03, 20:34] bigfow
al ferof loofs good value
[13-03, 20:34] bigfow
looks
[13-03, 20:34] On The Bridle
Why is Cue Card still so big?? Connections?
[13-03, 20:35] Euronymous
Yep.
[13-03, 20:35] Hamm
My 3 with Paddy P are Spirit Son, Al Ferof and Gibb River
[13-03, 20:35] Grasshopper
almost certainly.....miracle price has held up, imo
[13-03, 20:35] trackside528
Bit of talk that Cue Card is 'soft', presumably based on his run in the Bula. Any concerns on that score?
[13-03, 20:35] Euronymous
Cue Card would be evens if Henderson trained him
[13-03, 20:35] Grasshopper
none at all......simply beaten by a very useful horse
[13-03, 20:35] Hamm
Yes - looked a bridle horse to me
[13-03, 20:35] Hamm
Found nothing
[13-03, 20:35] granger
His jumping a worry to anyone?
[13-03, 20:36] On The Bridle
None really - didn't look too soft last year - Ruby tipped him up so that's a negative
[13-03, 20:36] Euronymous
If CC gets beat the Champion Hurdle market will be very interesting
[13-03, 20:36] Grasshopper
if CC had 'found nothing' Hamm, Silvinaco would have gone by him
[13-03, 20:36] EC1
Cue Card would be lucky to be running if henderson trained him
[13-03, 20:36] Grasshopper
lol
[13-03, 20:36] trackside528
My take on it was that he was simply done for toe in a pretty steadily run race. He found plenty off the bit in last year's bumper.
[13-03, 20:36] bigfow

[13-03, 20:36] Hamm
He found less GH..
[13-03, 20:37] On The Bridle
150+ should be enough to win this you would think
[13-03, 20:37] Grasshopper
what a horse found is hard to measure, Hamm.....it's usually plenty or fuck-all, with anything in between guesswork......regardless, it's a poor reason to field against him, imo
[13-03, 20:37] trackside528
Zaidpour anyone?
[13-03, 20:37] Grasshopper
Zaipour should be going in the Spa!
[13-03, 20:38] granger
are they puting headgear on him?
[13-03, 20:38] bigfow
yep
[13-03, 20:38] EC1
problem with Cue Card is teh first time meets decent horses..he bombs out..it were a good race but..its that last impression isn't it?
[13-03, 20:38] Hamm
A key point for me is Nicholls made no attempt to disguise how well he regards Cedre Bleu after Spirit Son beat him, and that he believed he had ran his race.
[13-03, 20:38] swedish chef
Mash Warbler e/way for an outsider then if Sam Winner not running in this - Cue Card still the one to beat he should run 155+ if fit.
[13-03, 20:38] Euronymous
Zaidpour was staying on through beaten horses last time
[13-03, 20:38] wend64
im going with recession proof
[13-03, 20:39] Grasshopper
Another poor reason for selecting a horse imo, Hamm.
[13-03, 20:39] On The Bridle
His form has tailed off significantly - still positive vibes about him - Any word on Tizzard's form (trainer that is)
[13-03, 20:39] Euronymous
Thought he'd want better ground bu the vibes from Ireland are that he needs soft.
[13-03, 20:39] Hamm
Are many taking advantage of the PP offer?
[13-03, 20:39] Euronymous
Probably done my money
[13-03, 20:39] granger
Marsh Warbler at a big price too and spirit son
[13-03, 20:40] Grasshopper
Marsh Warbler more a chasing type for me.......not a race for him, and ground will be all agvainst him anyway
[13-03, 20:40] bigfow
spirit son and ferof for me
[13-03, 20:40] Grasshopper
Cue card for me
 
[13-03, 20:40] Hamm
Not a reason for selecting him GH, not at all, just a further confidence booster
[13-03, 20:40] Grasshopper
understood, Hamm
[13-03, 20:40] On The Bridle
Recession Proof could be the one to do with the PP offer - Totesport form not working out though
[13-03, 20:40] swedish chef
Henderson did say Spirit Son did the fastest work he'd seen on one of his gallops and was trying to talkgeraghty into riding the horse.
[13-03, 20:40] Jakers
Will Spirit Son do CC for toe he looked a relentless galloper lto?
[13-03, 20:41] EC1
Marsh Warbler looks a mudlark
[13-03, 20:41] EC1
Marsh Warbler looks a mudlark - the ground is going to throw some of the form about isn't it
[13-03, 20:42] Hamm
When did he say that Swedish Chef?
[13-03, 20:42] Grasshopper
If its already Goot to Firm in places on the New Course, the Thursday and Friday could see a few crazy results
[13-03, 20:42] Hamm
GH - who do you fancy here?
[13-03, 20:42] trackside528
I'd just be slightly concerned that Cue Card still looks a shade raw - he is far from the finished article and that he might be caught out.
[13-03, 20:42] EC1
I'm surprised henderson knew it was Spirit Son - did someone have to tell him?
[13-03, 20:42] Hamm
Poor Nicky
[13-03, 20:43] trackside528
Anyway, let's have the selections for the opener
[13-03, 20:43] EC1
aye thats what the nurse keeps saying
[13-03, 20:43] granger
Spirit son
[13-03, 20:43] swedish chef
Someone else also said Spirit Son's sire Poligote's progeny are better on better going.
[13-03, 20:43] Hamm
Spirit Son, Al Ferof, Gibb River
[13-03, 20:43] On The Bridle
Cue Card - Recession Proof
[13-03, 20:43] Grasshopper
Cue Card
[13-03, 20:43] wend64
Recession Proof
[13-03, 20:44] EC1
Gibb River
[13-03, 20:44] EC1
looks like Gibb could be value
[13-03, 20:44] swedish chef
check out the video hamm of Paul Nicholls in what the trainers say thread - Anthony Bromley said Henderson said that to him
[13-03, 20:44] Hamm
Moving on to the Arkle?
[13-03, 20:44] EC1
let me go and back him before he gets pulled out
[13-03, 20:44] trackside528
ARKLE NOVICES CHASE
[13-03, 20:45] EC1

[13-03, 20:45] Shadow Leader
Dunraven Storm could be a sneaky each way, he should run well.
[13-03, 20:45] trackside528
welcome to the forum by the way, wend64!
[13-03, 20:45] Grasshopper
pig of a race......I hope they all get beat
[13-03, 20:45] Euronymous
Anthony Bromley was such a bellend on that preview
[13-03, 20:45] EC1
right Track..i'll just get me act together
[13-03, 20:45] Euronymous
not a fecking clue
[13-03, 20:45] dobbin
Al ferof for me
[13-03, 20:45] EC1
what numbers that Euro
[13-03, 20:46] EC1
one hell of a name..how did taht get through
[13-03, 20:46] Shadow Leader
Dan Breen - blinds back on, if he can steal a march he can lead them a merry dance.
[13-03, 20:46] granger
poor renewal imo
[13-03, 20:46] Hamm
For me, if one horse is going to put in a really impressive performance, it is Finian's Rainbow. Forget the last race, too fresh and wrong tactics had him on the wrong foot for the whole race. His form with Hell's Bay and record sub 2m1..
[13-03, 20:46] trackside528
Finian's Rainbow looks all duck or no dinner type to me - could see him getting too brave at one and losing all chance
[13-03, 20:46] On The Bridle
Finians Rainbow to make Hamm and Bar the Bull very happy. I'm coming around to that thought myself - no ante-post position on this race.
[13-03, 20:46] Jakers
Against Ghizao on good-ish ground, hope Finians can jump better and win, Medermit the more solid option.
[13-03, 20:46] trackside528
Ghizao a soft ground horse?
[13-03, 20:47] Hamm
.. a strong strong selection. Cant get a handle on Medermit and still seeking direction on him and whether to have a cover bet..
[13-03, 20:47] wend64
love medermit but going with finians rainbow
[13-03, 20:47] Grasshopper
Finians only chance is if he gets into a rythmn out front.............we'll know our fate after four fences
[13-03, 20:47] Euronymous
Finian's Rainbow for me also. Medermit a bad favourite and Ghizao does look really short
[13-03, 20:47] Euronymous
Another Tatenen
[13-03, 20:47] Hamm
I like the 'We'll...'
[13-03, 20:47] bigfow
100% medermit in a weak race
[13-03, 20:48] On The Bridle
Cannot have Medermit - has always been an underachiever
[13-03, 20:48] trackside528
One point about Finian's Rainbow; whilst he hasn't been many horses this year, he has certainly been jumping at speed. Went a very decent gallop on both runs at Newbury.
[13-03, 20:48] EC1
i don't like Ghizao - been beaten fav twice on good ground
[13-03, 20:48] granger
gun to my head finians. good judge of a 2m horse on board
[13-03, 20:48] Hamm
Good point TS - the latter run at Newbury he jumped at as fast a pace as any horse I've seen this year ..
[13-03, 20:49] EC1
shit - someone already mentioned it..must keep up..can you post a bit slower?
[13-03, 20:49] trackside528
Are we looking beyond the top three in the market at all?
[13-03, 20:49] Hamm
Geragthy's confidence a plus. The best judge of a horse's chances in terms of jockeys
[13-03, 20:49] On The Bridle
Newbury first run was a seriously fast time - if he reproduces that he wins - should have backed him sooner - a mistake I think
[13-03, 20:49] Hamm
If they can start running now I will entertain all other horses..
[13-03, 20:50] Euronymous
The Hell's Bay formline is the strongest on show here. FR isn't a monster bet but his run at Warwick means he's a sporting one
[13-03, 20:50] swedish chef
Ghizao for me - looks value on what he's achieved
[13-03, 20:50] Shadow Leader
think Finian's soft - wins easy races he's entitled to then caves in stronger race IMO
[13-03, 20:50] trackside528
The Irish form simply isn't good enough for me
[13-03, 20:50] On The Bridle
Hamm's confidence boils over - no saver now I'd say
[13-03, 20:50] Shadow Leader
and better in small fields IMO
[13-03, 20:50] Jakers
Shame about Kilmurray he was coming back at FR, would have loved the going too.
[13-03, 20:51] swedish chef
McManus has backed Rock Noir
[13-03, 20:51] Euronymous
FR didn't cave in in the Baring Bingham last year. Just wasn't good enough in a fantastic renewal
[13-03, 20:51] On The Bridle
He also backed Binocular
[13-03, 20:51] Hamm
Or didn't stay..
[13-03, 20:52] swedish chef
So did I OTB
[13-03, 20:52] On The Bridle
More likely didn't stay like his Neptune run
[13-03, 20:52] trackside528
Good pace looks guaranteed despite a reasonably small field
[13-03, 20:52] granger
West with the Wind e/w
[13-03, 20:53] On The Bridle
Sorry to hear that Chef!
[13-03, 20:53] bigfow
which will be to medermits likeing
[13-03, 20:53] bigfow
liking
[13-03, 20:53] Shadow Leader
just can't have the horse, never taken to him, always thought soft animal who;ll win small races well but find wanting in competitve races with larger fields
[13-03, 20:54] On The Bridle
Finians Rainbow for me as the second best bet of day one
[13-03, 20:54] EC1
williams wishes for me..i can't get excited about those at the front of teh market
[13-03, 20:54] trackside528
I loved the way Medermit jumped at Sandown. Thought he had a bit up his sleeve at the death as well
[13-03, 20:54] swedish chef
I'm more sorry he's missing the race as all we'll get afterwards is would the winner of won if Binocular was in the field
[13-03, 20:54] trackside528
Right, selection time
[13-03, 20:55] EC1
williams wishes
[13-03, 20:55] Euronymous
Finian's Rainbow.
[13-03, 20:55] Hamm
Finian's Rainbow
[13-03, 20:55] bigfow
medermit reminds me of tidal bay in this
[13-03, 20:55] swedish chef
Ghizao win - Rock Noir e/way
[13-03, 20:55] bigfow
medermit
[13-03, 20:55] dobbin
Finians Rainbow

[13-03, 20:57] Euronymous
Hopefully Khyber Kym will run his race and we can at least surmise how far Hurricane Fly would have beaten Binocular
[13-03, 20:58] Hamm
Not sure I see a bet now - everything can beat everything else. Khyber Kim to place.
[13-03, 20:58] trackside528
Hurricane Fly for me at this stage
[13-03, 20:58] bigfow
just cant have the hurricane
[13-03, 20:58] Euronymous
I'm on HF at 6s. Covered on Peddlers Cross and I have 20s on Dunguib as well. Sitting pretty.
[13-03, 20:58] On The Bridle
Peddlers Cross is my nap of the meeting - my whole punting year probably revolves around him - the closer we get the more confident I become
[13-03, 20:58] trackside528
Peddler's Cross is the one I can't get my head around
[13-03, 20:59] EC1
no one has yet shown me how PC can win tbh
[13-03, 20:59] swedish chef
Really looks open now as so mny look capable of mid 160's unless there's a true star in the field I can see a bunch finish
[13-03, 20:59] bigfow
good on ya bridle
[13-03, 20:59] On The Bridle
Why so Track?
[13-03, 20:59] granger
Race of the championship. minimum 3 should be together at the last hurdle
[13-03, 20:59] EC1
Mille Chief - the new star..on this ground he is said to be even bettter..will murder em for toe over the last
[13-03, 21:00] Euronymous
I don't think it can be called the race of the Festival now
[13-03, 21:00] trackside528
His Neptune form looks suspect in the context of this race, and I'm always reluctant to take the form of steadily run races, OTB.
[13-03, 21:00] Euronymous
I actually think you can make an argument for that being the World Hurdle
[13-03, 21:00] trackside528
That said he has done nothing wrong at all and looks the type who only does enough
[13-03, 21:00] EC1
CC is best race now imo
[13-03, 21:00] bigfow
with overturn in this it will be fast run
[13-03, 21:00] Shadow Leader
Khyber Kim enormous price, all on back of poor run when ill. Menorah should run well too but KK for me all the way
[13-03, 21:01] EC1
well..its the one i'm looking forward to most
[13-03, 21:01] On The Bridle
Nobody has shown me or him a horse to beat him - he is the ideal type for this race who stays well, battles and has the gears - we have not seen what he MAY be capable of yet
[13-03, 21:01] Hamm
SL - I didnt know he was ill the last day?!
[13-03, 21:02] bigfow
was poor at kempton said ntd
[13-03, 21:02] Euronymous
Can't have KK at all. He just wasn't far enough in front of aynar last year considering that horse had been up with the strong pace just about the whole way
[13-03, 21:02] Shadow Leader
when scoped after the race, lungs full of shite
[13-03, 21:02] Euronymous
Zaynar
[13-03, 21:03] Hamm
He was far in front of every other horse Euro, including Solwhit (who must people think conveniently didnt run his race!)
[13-03, 21:03] EC1
selections?
[13-03, 21:03] dobbin
Peddlers Cross, Menorah and Oscar whisky e/w
[13-03, 21:03] trackside528
Harchibald for me.
[13-03, 21:03] Shadow Leader
if you're willing to use Zaynar to hold down the form, may as well use proximity to Binocular to do so :S Madness IMO
[13-03, 21:03] Hamm
Khyber Kim each way
[13-03, 21:03] trackside528
oh shit, done it again....
[13-03, 21:03] Euronymous
Solwhit had a terrible prep for the race last year.
[13-03, 21:03] EC1
ooh Hamms thrown the solwhit CH run into the mix
[13-03, 21:03] granger
Hurricane fly and he'll win the next 2 renewals to boot

[13-03, 21:04] trackside528
Hurricane Fly for me at this stage
[13-03, 21:04] On The Bridle
Peddlers Cross, 2nd Hf, 3rd Menorah
 
[13-03, 21:04] trackside528
Any other races people want to touch on on the first day?
[13-03, 21:04] trackside528
Quevega looks a banker?
[13-03, 21:04] bigfow
peddlers and menorah
[13-03, 21:05] Hamm
My thoughts the same.
[13-03, 21:05] Jakers
I think Peddlers will sit in behind Overturn and kick on heading into the straight, see who can stay with him after the pace that has been set, how long has DMc been planning this? Hurricane the most likely imo to threaten - RFC those two.
[13-03, 21:05] granger
mares hurdle.. can anything beat Quevega
[13-03, 21:05] EC1
I'd like to donate a box of tissues to the forum for all teh HF fans if tahts ok?
[13-03, 21:05] Hamm
The prices of the first 3 in the William Hill are awful..
[13-03, 21:05] Euronymous
The big handicap looks interesting. The Mares race is yawnsville
[13-03, 21:06] bigfow
like the look of sunnyhill boy
[13-03, 21:06] Shadow Leader
Fancy Sparky May strongly to win the mares race, was hellishly impressed by her at Ascot.
[13-03, 21:06] swedish chef
Already on Peddlers Cross e/way at a nice price and will have a small e/way on Clerks Choice e/way as 50/1 looks masive if he gets his ground
[13-03, 21:06] On The Bridle
There must be something lurking in the novices handicap - I avoid the handicaps here like the pox that they are by the way
[13-03, 21:07] trackside528
Right, on to day two...
[13-03, 21:07] swedish chef
I think HF will be travelling best but the hill will find him out
[13-03, 21:08] trackside528
NEPTUNE NOVICES HURDLE
[13-03, 21:08] Euronymous
How?
[13-03, 21:08] On The Bridle
I know Arthur Moore has been lining up Lastof theLeaders for a touch - if he runs in the last on day one keep an eye out
[13-03, 21:08] trackside528
I'm a big Oscars Well fan here
[13-03, 21:08] Hamm
I am starting to think So Young could be something special (or even a MdH mark 2!!)
[13-03, 21:09] trackside528
Might well be, though there is no value in backing him at this stage surely
[13-03, 21:09] Hamm
saying that, no horse at this distance impressed me more than the Henderson horse at Cheltenham in Jan - he went wide all the way, and beat a really good field in full command
[13-03, 21:09] Hamm
TS - spot on about the value - will leave him run unless I get 9/2 or bigger
[13-03, 21:09] granger
so young is highly thought of.
[13-03, 21:09] On The Bridle
They like So Young alright but the price is squuezed to death. Have backed Bobs Worth ante-post but he's a shorter price for the Albert Bartlett
[13-03, 21:10] dobbin
Bobs Worth
[13-03, 21:10] Hamm
would be such a mistake to run him in what is for me a much lesser race
[13-03, 21:11] trackside528
I think the Bob's Worth form is pretty weak actually - Rock On Ruby isn't a stayer at the minute and was dying up the hill for me
[13-03, 21:11] Shadow Leader
I really like Bobs Worth too. Trouble is I also like Champion Court and Court in Motion, can't really work out which one of the three I liek the most!
[13-03, 21:11] On The Bridle
any thoughts on final field - if BW does not run McCain can add to his day one tally with Tornado Bob
[13-03, 21:11] Jakers
First Lieutenant still value in the price, So Young very well liked could be special, Bobs Worth entered in the Albert is a worry what NH really thinks of him?
[13-03, 21:12] trackside528
Heard Court In Motion was lame after Haydock. The worry must surely be fast ground?
[13-03, 21:12] On The Bridle
Like Champion Court too but can he bounce back this quickly?
[13-03, 21:12] swedish chef
The Irish look to have a strong hand in this and I think they may have a clean sweep
[13-03, 21:12] clivex
whats this chat box bollocks?
[13-03, 21:13] Hamm
Its a 'I hate Chelsea' fanclub. Step right in!
[13-03, 21:13] trackside528
evening Clive!
[13-03, 21:13] On The Bridle
Mouse Morris has a good record in these novice events of placed horses at big prices
[13-03, 21:13] clivex
lol hamm....u should get a job cleaning our trophy cabinet....nothing but dust in yours
[13-03, 21:14] Shadow Leader
not really worried about faster ground tracks - he's by Fruits of Love who handled fast ground well.
[13-03, 21:14] clivex
alright trackside!
[13-03, 21:14] Grasshopper
I likew Adams Island and rare Bob from opposite ends of the handicap

certainly Mm for me
[13-03, 21:17] On The Bridle
Big Zeb all day long
[13-03, 21:17] Euronymous
Big Zeb probably the worst value fav of the week. Master Minded pretty much nailed on
[13-03, 21:17] Grasshopper
Why the fook ia MM a 3/1 second fave? He's a mile clear of these - Somersby falltered at Ascot
[13-03, 21:17] Grasshopper
*flattered
[13-03, 21:18] dobbin
masterminded
[13-03, 21:18] granger
MM not the horse he was
[13-03, 21:18] bigfow
the master
[13-03, 21:18] swedish chef
Somersby to prove all the doubters wrong
[13-03, 21:18] EC1
thanks for using my christian name anyway Clive
[13-03, 21:18] Grasshopper
MM the best jumper of a fence since Edredon Bleu.......I think he'll dance round
[13-03, 21:18] clivex
MM will always have the ability to leave these dead at fences... thats rare enough and if on song, will be enough
[13-03, 21:18] Euronymous
MM not that far behind Moscow Flyer. Big Zeb not a lot better than Newmill
[13-03, 21:18] trackside528
Agree about Somersby being flattered at Ascot.
[13-03, 21:18] Hamm
GH - spot on. Master Minded the best 3/1 I have seen in a long long time. He looked back to his best in the Tingle Creek and Ascot another plus for me
[13-03, 21:19] Hamm
We are getting 3/1 about a 11/8 shot as far as I can see
[13-03, 21:19] Euronymous
Yep
[13-03, 21:19] Euronymous
I have 4s
[13-03, 21:19] On The Bridle
Big Zeb has improved since last year - first time getting his ground all year - straighforward horse 3/1 is fair
[13-03, 21:19] EC1
Woolcombe Folly will by now be about 5 lengths better than MM
[13-03, 21:19] clivex
I agree... why has he drifed though? thats bothering me slightly but im on already 11/4 lol
[13-03, 21:19] Grasshopper
3/1 is fair without MM in the race, imo
[13-03, 21:19] granger
i like sizing would you believe
[13-03, 21:20] granger
will place
[13-03, 21:20] clivex
Big zebs last race didnt look l;ike improvement to me
[13-03, 21:20] Simon
hello
[13-03, 21:20] Shadow Leader
I think Somersby's got a great chance amd would love to see Mad Max run well at a price. He's been tubed, still an unexposed horse, rumour is that Carberry rides who will suit him well.
[13-03, 21:20] Grasshopper
Sizing is in the wrong race
[13-03, 21:20] On The Bridle
Nichols has cooled alot on WF - I'm on the Zeb at 7/2
[13-03, 21:20] EC1
Simon - hello

hey simon
[13-03, 21:20] Hamm
Agree about Mad Max SL..
[13-03, 21:20] Euronymous
MM has drifted because of ground concerns that are unfounded
[13-03, 21:20] Jakers
Dont like the way MM folded last year when the pressure was cranked up plus another wind op - Big Zeb all day on this ground
[13-03, 21:20] Simon
what hot tips have I missed?
[13-03, 21:20] clivex
I just think somersby needs that bit more

[13-03, 21:23] Grasshopper
1833 a Welsh national horse, imo SL
[13-03, 21:23] Hamm
I am against the first 4 in the betting for the RSA (TFR, 1833, Wymott, Jessie's Dream). I will back Master of the Hall, Boston's Angel and MdH all each way. A weak year.
[13-03, 21:23] On The Bridle
My thoughts exactly SL - on at 12's
[13-03, 21:23] Hamm
1833 needs 4 miles in mud
[13-03, 21:23] EC1
isn't 1833 a bit old?
[13-03, 21:23] Grasshopper
anything but a weak year, imo, Hamm - TFR is all class
[13-03, 21:23] Simon
I like Wymott, and expect him to run into a place if not better
[13-03, 21:23] Euronymous
No vibe whatsover for Mikael D'haguenet. Still think they've overestimated his poor run when he bounced
[13-03, 21:23] Simon
but then again, I like any horse trained by Donald McCain
[13-03, 21:24] Grasshopper
me too Euro......H's gallop the other week also spoke to me
[13-03, 21:24] On The Bridle
A saver on Boston's Angel wouldn't put you wrong
[13-03, 21:24] Grasshopper
*MDH's gallop...
[13-03, 21:24] swedish chef
Wymott or Wayward lad to upset the fav
[13-03, 21:24] Hamm
Spoke to you in what way?
[13-03, 21:24] Shadow Leader
possibly Grassy but he's done nowt wrong so far, he's the type who is getting better all the time as he fills into his large frame
[13-03, 21:24] Grasshopper
In a way you wouldn't like to hear about Hamm
[13-03, 21:25] Hamm
Go on! I am coming round to him winning..
[13-03, 21:25] On The Bridle
Is Ruby seriously riding MDH?
[13-03, 21:26] Simon
surely he'll ride the cheese horse?
[13-03, 21:26] Grasshopper
I dunno..........something about the way he moved in that gallop.......after he'd travelled so well at Leopardstown........I don't think he will win, and chances are he'll bomb completely.....but I was compelled by a higher force to have a few quid on (no
[13-03, 21:26] EC1

I'll be upset if Mullins farms the handicaps as HF, MDH and Zaidpour get turned over
[13-03, 21:36] On The Bridle
Tiger O'Toole must have a chance over this trip
[13-03, 21:36] EC1
that would be cool
[13-03, 21:37] trackside528
What about the four miler?
[13-03, 21:37] trackside528
Byrnes horse looks a worthy favourite
[13-03, 21:38] granger
off the track a bit long for me
[13-03, 21:38] On The Bridle
Surely Phil Smith has given him a good walloping knowing connections
[13-03, 21:39] On The Bridle
No bet under any circumstance race for me
[13-03, 21:39] Marble
who's watching ITV......
[13-03, 21:39] swedish chef
Son Amix looks interesting
[13-03, 21:40] qzy
Connections of Some Target are friends of my mother - have advised her to have a few bob ew
[13-03, 21:40] qzy
Sorry about the underline...
[13-03, 21:41] EC1
i should think so
[13-03, 21:41] Hamm
Thoughts on the Ryanair?
[13-03, 21:41] Marble
Jy Vole lock.
[13-03, 21:41] Euronymous
I'm going on the Thursday.
[13-03, 21:41] Simon
Poquelin ought to win unless Albertas runs
[13-03, 21:42] granger
i've come around to jyvole through price and process of elimination
[13-03, 21:42] Euronymous
I've done my conkers on the Ryanair already.
[13-03, 21:42] dobbin
I fancy Kalahari King
[13-03, 21:42] Hamm
Agree about J'y Vole. Was a better horse than Poquelin in this last year.
[13-03, 21:42] Dave G
Ord H sent text couple of dayss ago, Byrne has had 10k cash on the horse at 6/1
[13-03, 21:42] Dave G
Lord H
[13-03, 21:43] granger
which horse dave
[13-03, 21:43] EC1
Tartak for me..the ground will make the difference from last time omo
[13-03, 21:43] Euronymous
Tartak is the chasing version of Celestial Halo
[13-03, 21:44] EC1
i'm deffo on then
[13-03, 21:44] EC1
get ready to eat some words Euro
[13-03, 21:44] EC1
some more i should say
[13-03, 21:44] Dave G
Alfa Beat in the 4 miler
[13-03, 21:44] Euronymous
It's a trainwreck of a race now isn't it. It's a good job the World Hurdle is up to scratch or Thursday would be a washout
[13-03, 21:45] EC1
not keen on the Thursday at all
[13-03, 21:46] Hamm
Euro, look at last year's race and the trainwreck suddenly looks like a great betting opportunity..
[13-03, 21:47] Euronymous
I know, but I've done my money on TS and RT already. Gonna leave it I think.
[13-03, 21:47] On The Bridle
Is everyone gone watching the telly or what? Whats on by the way
[13-03, 21:47] dobbin
Dancing on Ice
[13-03, 21:47] EC1
oh no
[13-03, 21:47] EC1
World Hurdle?
[13-03, 21:47] Euronymous
Wonders of the Universe on BBC2 for intellectuals like what I am
[13-03, 21:48] Marble
lol dancing on ice 'i'm not a gambling man was just palying' how fitting...Has the RSA been done here? Wymott anyone???
[13-03, 21:48] Euronymous
No
[13-03, 21:48] EC1
Grand Crus to take BB
[13-03, 21:48] Euronymous
We've all decided that MDH will hose up en route to Gold Cup glory in 2012
[13-03, 21:49] Marble
ceers.
[13-03, 21:49] On The Bridle
The Ryanair is a traincrash of a race now - Somersby would have been nailed on
[13-03, 21:49] trackside528
what about the ground for grand crus?
[13-03, 21:49] On The Bridle
Have we fook
[13-03, 21:49] Euronymous
My confidence on Grand Crus ebbs away with the ground getting faster
[13-03, 21:50] Hamm
I am back in Ireland for 4/5 days and the weather has been like the first day of Spring..
[13-03, 21:50] trackside528
always faster on the new course as well
[13-03, 21:50] Euronymous
I wonder if there is scope for moving the Festival to February
[13-03, 21:50] On The Bridle
BB must be a certainty - one I won't back
[13-03, 21:51] swedish chef
Big Bucks - Fivforthree s/f/c
[13-03, 21:51] trackside528
If Claisse gets his way it'll be a month long eventually!
 
[13-03, 21:51] Euronymous
I read somewhere that spring is gonna get hotter and summer wetter in the future. Would be lovely to see a proper soft ground Festival
[13-03, 21:51] dobbin
World Hurdle cant see anything beating BB
[13-03, 21:51] granger
wonder will bookies take on bb?
[13-03, 21:51] swedish chef
is that good or bad Hamm
[13-03, 21:52] trackside528
the one i am against is mourad
[13-03, 21:53] Euronymous
Sticking with Grand Crus. From a form point of view he hasn't that much to find and hopefully we'll get a downpour on Wednesday evening
[13-03, 21:54] trackside528
Right, Friday
[13-03, 21:54] EC1
as long as it stays fine until after the ch..then a bit of rain wouldn't go amiss or they water the fook out of it
[13-03, 21:54] trackside528
TRIUMPH HURDLE
[13-03, 21:54] Euronymous
No opinion
[13-03, 21:54] dobbin
[13-03, 21:51] Hamm

[13-03, 21:54] EC1
ah easiest race of the week
[13-03, 21:54] swedish chef
I gotta go but my e/way nap ofthe meeting is Son Amix in whichever h'cap he runs in - I think he's well h'capped - any ino from Ireland on this one?
[13-03, 21:55] Hamm
It is bad for you SC!
[13-03, 21:55] On The Bridle
Cooper wouldn't be in great from
[13-03, 21:55] trackside528
I used to think the Triumph was a speed test but the move to the new course and a glance at the recent winners suggest stamina is coming to the fore.
[13-03, 21:56] Hamm
First time in years I have no strong opinion on the Triumph..
[13-03, 21:56] trackside528
Even Celestial Halo won it like...
[13-03, 21:56] On The Bridle
Smad Place ew - based on last run and trainers reasonable record in race
[13-03, 21:56] EC1
was a good year that Track
[13-03, 21:56] trackside528
On soft ground I would be pretty keen on Sam Winner
[13-03, 21:57] Simon
Local Hero e/w
[13-03, 21:57] EC1
i'd like Smad Place to win..it boosts the Kingwell
[13-03, 21:57] trackside528
looks a real tough sort. Aye EC1, Franchoek second!
[13-03, 21:57] swedish chef
kids gotta do homework - cya and have a great Cheltenham all
[13-03, 21:57] Simon
still available at big prices...lovely
[13-03, 21:58] EC1
aye another top notcher
[13-03, 21:58] bigfow
u2 chef
[13-03, 21:58] Hamm
I like him as well Simon ... can he jump though?
[13-03, 21:58] EC1
see you Chef..good luck
[13-03, 21:59] EC1
without knowing the ground conditions its getting tricky picking these
[13-03, 21:59] Simon
I should think so Hamm, he's just a bit cocky, and hated the Haydock ground
[13-03, 22:00] Simon
AP has been up to school him
[13-03, 22:00] Hamm
Cheers. I was more referring to his Cheltenham run, where he won despite looking a very poor jumper..
[13-03, 22:01] Simon
fair enough
[13-03, 22:02] EC1
bloody hell..its hard work this..anyone been round with the ice cream yet?
[13-03, 22:02] dobbin
Back in 5
[13-03, 22:02] Simon
I'm not sure on that score, but it certainly begs the question why the Tizzard horse he beat is shorter in the betting, despite being beaten by LH who jumped badly and was inconvinienced by the pace...
[13-03, 22:02] On The Bridle
when does the bar open
[13-03, 22:02] EC1
going for the ice cream Dobbin?
[13-03, 22:03] Hamm
Guys, I am off to watch a DVD but just to wish you all a very enjoyable week (even you TS, and especially you Grasshopper ) and hope it goes well for you all in whatever way you like. Good night.
[13-03, 22:03] dobbin
going to thr bar!
[13-03, 22:03] EC1
its been open for a couple of hours here OTB
[13-03, 22:03] EC1
goodnight Hamm
[13-03, 22:03] Euronymous
Have a good one
[13-03, 22:04] granger
whats the dvd hamm
[13-03, 22:04] EC1
lightweight eh?
[13-03, 22:04] EC1
its not one of Clives is it?
[13-03, 22:04] granger
i was waiting on you to sell long run to me later
[13-03, 22:04] Euronymous
Natalie Portman on BBC2. All you need
[13-03, 22:04] EC1
ffs..no wonder you waited until late to watch it
[13-03, 22:05] Euronymous
C'mon now. Friday is all about the Gold Cup
[13-03, 22:05] Simon
anyone fancy Kauto :P
[13-03, 22:05] granger
what race are we on now
[13-03, 22:05] EC1
Long Run..i'll sell it you..£25?
[13-03, 22:05] Euronymous
Kauto is probably the best place lay of the meeting
[13-03, 22:06] EC1
if the ground stays good i'm backing Kauto Star
[13-03, 22:06] On The Bridle
I don't believe any of this bollox about Imperial not being right - connections reckon he's bouncing
[13-03, 22:06] EC1
bloody hell Euro..you gonna do your nuts
[13-03, 22:06] Euronymous
Connections always do.
[13-03, 22:06] On The Bridle
Kauto - no chance
[13-03, 22:06] granger
low key connections. if he turms up like last year, i cant have denman reversing form
[13-03, 22:07] granger
ps who rides denman?
[13-03, 22:07] Euronymous
Brennan doesn't fancy it and he hasn't had the same prep as last year. Denman has a favs chance as long as the ground isn't too fast
[13-03, 22:07] EC1
no chance..one bad run..always forgive the bad run
[13-03, 22:07] Euronymous
I bet Ruby would love to ride him
[13-03, 22:07] Simon
Sam Thomas
[13-03, 22:07] EC1
denman..has a chance?..KS doesn't?
[13-03, 22:07] trackside528
Sam Thomas on Denman I thought
[13-03, 22:07] dobbin
Im back what race we on now?
[13-03, 22:07] Euronymous
Kauto has had three below par runs on the bounce. He's gone
[13-03, 22:08] trackside528
seems to be the perceived wisdom, EC1
[13-03, 22:08] granger
Thanks boys. Ground dependant, i like kempes
[13-03, 22:08] EC1
will depend on teh ground..denma needs slow and 4 miles now
[13-03, 22:08] trackside528
I wasn't even overly impressed with Kauto at Down Royal
[13-03, 22:08] Simon
Quevega a serious bet?
[13-03, 22:08] Simon
no, I don't mean for the GC
[13-03, 22:08] EC1
do you think KS was 100% FTO Euro?
[13-03, 22:08] On The Bridle
Looks like Kauto needs 4 miles too...
[13-03, 22:09] EC1
he just needs some decent ground now i think more than ever
[13-03, 22:09] trackside528
Pandorama anyone?
[13-03, 22:09] Euronymous
No. But he ran a lot better FTO the last year at Haydock. He was all out to beat China Rock and a Sizing Europe who never jumped.
[13-03, 22:09] On The Bridle
What about Kauto in last years GC EC?
 
New [13-03, 22:10] dobbin I would love to see KS win but I fancy Midnight Chase
New [13-03, 22:10] Euronymous Why?
New [13-03, 22:10] granger Midnight chase will make the pace?
New [13-03, 22:11] Simon Trackside, I fancy Pandorama if it rains a lot this week...
New [13-03, 22:11] On The Bridle Pandorama's owner called Sean Boyce on the ATR phone in show - and was crying about him being the forgotten horse -- sound familar
New [13-03, 22:11] Euronymous He's a top class animal. Has he actually ever run on good ground?
New [13-03, 22:12] granger I actually had forgotten pandorama
New [13-03, 22:12] On The Bridle Defo think he's ground dependant - softer the better - there's no chance of soft ground is there?
New [13-03, 22:12] dobbin has won his last 4 races at Cheltenham and can get up that hill
New [13-03, 22:12] On The Bridle Once in the Hennessy...
New [13-03, 22:13] trackside528 cant see him being good enough myself
New [13-03, 22:13] On The Bridle Me either..
New [13-03, 22:14] On The Bridle Everthing points to the Commander for me..
New [13-03, 22:15] granger IC least to prove for me. i'll go with him
New [13-03, 22:15] trackside528 Smoke signals from the yard have to be worrying though, OTB
New [13-03, 22:15] EC1 commander will want the stopping..i don't belive the rumours about him
New [13-03, 22:15] Simon Daryl Jacob is picking up some nice rides off Paul Nicholls this week...
New [13-03, 22:15] EC1 at teh prices though its KS
New [13-03, 22:16] EC1 interview with twistin in the weekender said he were 100%..so someone is lying
New [13-03, 22:16] Euronymous Kauto and Pandorama are priced the wrong way round
New [13-03, 22:16] Simon 1833, Zarkandar, Rock On Ruby...
New [13-03, 22:16] Simon Woolcombe too
New [13-03, 22:17] On The Bridle NTD has never given a negative vibe about the horse since the leg infection..
New [13-03, 22:17] trackside528 has he ever given a negative vibe about anything though in fairness
New [13-03, 22:17] Euronymous Mt positive though isn't he.
New [13-03, 22:17] Euronymous mr]
New [13-03, 22:18] EC1 i don't take much notice of trainer talk or jockey talk tbh..it just muddies the water
New [13-03, 22:18] Euronymous He fancied Razor Royale for the RP Chase.
New [13-03, 22:19] trackside528 anyway, naps for the week??
New [13-03, 22:20] EC1 Mille Chief [nap]
New [13-03, 22:20] Euronymous Hurricane Fly and Master Minded

New [13-03, 22:21] EC1
New [13-03, 22:21] Simon just had a fiver on Daryl for top jockey at 33s, am I mental?
New [13-03, 22:22] Euronymous Not at all. Good price
