Leopardstown Christmas Meeting

[Slim]

Final demand carries a 10lb penalty as well

If Final Demand needs serious jockey intervention today then the bubble will be well and truly burst.

 

[Robicheaux]

Just to avoid confusion. The December hurdle is the race you mean. The Christmas hurdle is the race today.

Correct Slim. My fault.

Good win from Teahupoo, I thought Ballyburn would run better than he did, but he went out like a light.

 

[LUKE]

I had a big essay about why Ballyburn was an absolute certainty.That was seriously disappointing and I think his best days are behind him.

One of the many reasons why I love this game is that it so consistently refuses to follow the narrative so many try to impose on it.

That was 33s yesterday. I looked at him, because he's still a relative youngster, but I couldn't have him.

They want shooting for what they do with Iknowwayurthinkin.

Absolute crooks. Drift told the story

 

[Double J]

Was any horse other than the winner actually trying then? Or was it just a shit race?

I'd say they have overachieved with this horse-beat a below par GDC in March -33/1 shot in my book.

All about opinions -I can't see him getting competitive next March -and I have a lot of respect for Cromwell as a target trainer.

Without him in the Gold Cup last year.
Galopin would have won his 3rd Gold Cup by 15 lengths.

He’s a good horse in crooked hands

My Immortal 1.57 tomorrow. Don't think this race will take much winning.
Fancied to run well in the Thyestes in January. Form of that race, uually works out pretty well. 20s seems a fair price.

Real life has intervened and I'll not make it to Leopardstown today, sadly.

Here are the bets I would have had.

4x Trebles and Accum
12.10 Lazare de Star 8/13
12.40 The Nagger Reidy 5/1
13.20 Soldier in Milan 3/1
15.40 Bentraghill

Good luck.

Soldier cost me a nice holiday in the sun.

Reported as "clinically abnormal" after the race.

I find it hard to think he won't be competitive and this horse is one you judge not with your eyes but by it being a one day per year horse

Coming round to the fact connections have had it ‘right’ two years in a row when it matters and following that route now.

The graded Langer Dan. One day only matters. Least we get a price now
