Good luck, Chris.

Roddy's Mike Towey runs in the bumper at Hereford today and has the best form in the race. I'm surprised he's not a lot shorter in the betting.

 

[Aragorn]

He's certainly not small and loves to jump. Hopefully the handicapper will do us a favour and not raise him more than 4lbs so we can run in another 0-115...

Handicapper has obliged and only raised Kikos to 115 (The second was beaten a neck yesterday at Towcester off the same mark). We're aiming a bit higher than a 0-115 next time though and following a similar programme to last year so next stop Stratford on the 15th May all being well. He fell early in the same race last year and then was well beaten by Passato in the summer cup at the same track later in the year but he was off 121 then and 115 is a much more workable mark particularly with his breathing operation appearing to have helped.

Great stuff from all connections lately - Hopefully one of us can get a big winner this year. I make Roddy and Kauto joint favourites to pick up a big pot!!!

He`s ready to run a big race guys and the 4/1 this morning with V/C was irresistable. His future is of course as a 3 mile chaser,he jumps very well.We are going here as against Saturday at Haydock

Best of luck, Roddy.

Six non-runners, though, from an original field of eleven. Are they scared of your horse?

 

[Roddy Owen]

They should have been but who cares. Sweet:lol::lol::lol:

 

[Bar the Bull]

Way hey!!!!

Looks good.

 

[Irish Stamp]

Well done Roddy - you're likely to have a huge Rule 4 on your bet though so don't spend too much

 

[Grey]

No sweat there, Roddy. Congrats

 

[swedish chef]

Nice one Roddy - well done!!

 

[Desperate Dan]

Well done, Roddy.

 

[krizon]

Spent the day at Epsom - lovely! - so missed that, but well done MIKE TOWEY/RO.

 

[swedish chef]

Diddums runs tomorrow in the 8.20, affectionately known as Dids or P Diddy, or even the Notorious PIG. God knows how he will run, he's a bit of a gangster.

Nice 2nd Chris - onwards and upwards now - good luck.

 

[On The Bridle]

Nice horse to look forward with Roddy!

 

[BlazingWalker]

I always see these threads when the bugger's gone & won!!

Congrats Roddy!

 

[crazyhorse]

he is the one with the cheekpieces. and it was the race straight after overdose....

 

[Kauto]

Congrats Roddy

 

[Grey]

Well done, Kat, you have a rather nice horse there.

And Overdose wasn't bad either.

 

[Roddy Owen]

Quattro and Ballyvesey running tomorrow at Haydock. Both fit and well and should go close

 

[krizon]

Best of, as usual!

Kimberlite King sold yesterday at doncaster for £6,500 to Tim Vaughan. Time to buy another one now!!

 

[Hamm]

That's quite low, no?

 

[Arkwright]

Saw that in the RP,think Aragorn bought one at the same sale.

 

[Shadow Leader]

Horses aren't worth the cost of the rugs they stand up in at the moment, Hamm. Can't give them away.

 

[Cantoris]

That's quite low, no?

How much would you give for a 120 rated 9 year old chaser? Realistically, only one season left? Vaughan bought a 110 rated 9 year old hurdler half an hour later for £5k. If he was a year younger, I think he would have got £15k.
