Fairyhouse Wednesday

[granger]

Thought he should have stayed on his feet. Didn't look like much of an error. He looked sound at least

Great to see Mikael up and he appeared back to his best - there was only one winner jumping the last to me. That's racing as they say.

All his swagger was still there - I do think there was a chance Jessie's Dream might still have won even if he stayed up as I though MdH might just have been tiring but before the fall everything you wanted to see from the horse was still there.

Come back for a beginners in Jan and then to the Moriarty I think.

the horse just clipped himself imo, by that i mean, his front two legs just touched on landing.

he jumped magnificent for a novice too

That is what I thought happened as well. He jumped it fine, landed fine but just tripped over himself.

 

[Euronymous]

Travelled nicely and at least his price has held up. It wasn't a tired looking fall either.

 

[granger]

GS odds on.

 

[Grey]

I was annoyed by that fall, even if I am talking through my pocket.

I suppose Townend was trying to educate MDh by asking him to wait for the other horse and go to the last fence eye to eye but it was a needless complication for a debutant who had already done and given plenty.

What a super day's racing it has been.

 

[granger]

Big time. Budgets, recessions,cold weather and IMF, at least we still have jump racing and Willie Mullins

Really impressive from Golden Silver - turning into a super little horse.

 

[granger]

Really is so likable. Looked incredibly classy how he went from 3rd to 1st just like that. Wonder is Dial a bet too close?

He didn't look too little alongside Zaarito! But it was indeed impressive.

Just glancing at the times and there looks to be a pretty serious disparity with the hurdle course riding genuinely soft and the chase course riding quite a bit faster.

 

[SteveM]

A funny sort of day Tranquil Sea was the one I thought I might back, but missed getting to the counter in time.
Mikael wasn’t the price he looked like being, but thankfully I left him alone… although he looked the right bet in the race, apart from the lapse.
[So being in the shop and too desperate to back something I had a little on Twist Magic… serves me right, a real monkey…]

Only just seen the news on Twist. Terrible.

 

[Guest_]

Take a look at Kempes's run today - very nice effort.

 

[Cantoris]

Logic?

I love it when logic works out. 2/1 Voler was a steal. Although I thought 6/4 Zaarito was tight and left it. He will come on a ton for the run. He got very tired at the last.

 

[Cantoris]

And Quito does the job today

Just glancing at the times and there looks to be a pretty serious disparity with the hurdle course riding genuinely soft and the chase course riding quite a bit faster.

Just now getting a chance to go back and have a look at the replays. The chase track was of course considerably sharper than normal and two fences wern't jumped (third last and the one after Ballyhack). Presumably the standards used were those for the standard chase track, rendering my comment above absolutely wrong!
