Dublin Racing Festival

I could take 3 days of this over 5 at March but the 2 is perfect.

Great prize money. The British need to target it when we have some normality

I haven't enjoyed 2 days as much
 
Best couple of days racing I’ve enjoyed for some time. Usually working so miss all the fun.

Profitable couple of days as well which always helps. My AP post bets look absolutely bomb proof atm. Ive Shishkin running through a lot of them, bur covered my ass at 11/2 Energumene before yesterdays run.

Id say roll on Cheltenham, but this weekend was thoroughly enjoyable, helped today with being transfixed with the ‘big gamble’ sadly didn’t come off.
 
Great racing but too easy for the short shots. I can admire the quality but it's pretty dull from a punting perspective.

As for the handicaps, Charles Byrnes surely has expects a big payday before his appeal.

That was my stopped clock moment for 2021.
It may prove fruitful to ignore any other tip I put on here for at least 12 months.
Great racing , pity we were not able to attend.
If you hear of any black market covid vaccine trade, like cheap toblerones after racing they will be most welcome.

On times, I'm getting:

Energumene 6lbs faster than CPS
Energumene 30lbs faster than AWOTS

Honeysuckle 24lbs faster than Drop The Anchor
Honeysuckle 38lbs faster than Gaillard Du Mesnil
Honeysuckle 39lbs faster than Kilcruit

Those are based on the times as printed in the RP with no allowance for any rail movement. Maybe Simon Rowlands will check up on whether there was any. It looks like the standard time for the bumper already allows for the hurdles being removed. It looks liek they're allowing 0.875s per hurdle. Some time back I arrived at 0.8s per hurdle based on my own research so I wasn't too far out, assuming theirs is calculated by some reasonable means.

It does make Energumene look very, very good but my figures for Altior are bigger again so it should be a helluva race between those two.

Shishkin will probably take him on first though DO..:lol:
 
On the Sunday, Monkfish's time was by far the fastest but there was much less scope for comparison with different trips being used.

I suspect it was the only true-run race.
