FANTASTIC LADY

Warwick 3 February 2021
Racing TV Mares' "National Hunt" Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)
2m3f, Class 3, £5,913.18
Going: Heavy

Fantastic Lady came to win her race at the second last and looked to be holding the winner at the last when she tipped over. The rest were well behind by this stage. It was a good run and confirmed the promise she had shown in her debut, although she did seem to take exception to being given a crack by Nico approaching the last. More to come, I think.

Very tired fall, winner would have got up in my opinion....

Uptown Lady previous race reported to the stewards...
Held up in rear, went poor fourth run-in, never near to challenge (jockey said, regarding running and riding, that his instructions were to be handily away, give the mare plenty of room and try to get the mare run as well as she could; jockey explained that the mare had been an expensive recruit for the yard, but disappointed on both runs under rules last season, once in a bumper and also on its hurdling debut, adding that the mare has also had wind issues during training in preparation for this; jockey stated that the mare settled well off a moderate pace and after being a little big at the first hurdle, had jumped well for the majority of the race; he added that the mare had made a respiratory noise going down the hill towards the end of the back straight, and was outpaced when the tempo increased going down the side of the track into the home turn; jockey further explained that being mindful of the mare's previous wind issues and the fact she had repeatedly made respiratory noise's over the final half a circuit, he had wanted to keep a good hold of her head and help her through the heavy going on this occasion; jockey thought the mare had stayed on to good effect through tired horses and only finished as close as she did because of the manner in which he had handled her, particularly in the home straight; jockey maintained that he had been constantly niggling and squeezing the mare forward in the home straight, predominantly through the use of his legs and knees, whilst trying to keep the bit up in the mare's mouth, so she didn't step at her hurdles and had also used the whip on three occasions; trainer's rep said she was unaware of the rider's instructions, but expressed satisfaction with the ride which the mare was given; vet said 2 post-race examinations failed to reveal any abnormalities, other than a minor laceration to the left-foreleg) (op 13/2).

Fantastic lady.Prominent, nudged along going best home turn, pushed along to lead before 2 out, soon ridden and flashed tail, 1 length ahead when fell last (op 15/2 and tchd 8/1)

Uptown lady 40/1

Held up in behind leaders, not fluent 2nd, pushed along after 3 out, went second before 2 out, 1 length down and ridden when mistake but left in lead last, hung right and pushed out run-in (trainer said, regarding improved performance, that mare had benefitted from a wind operation following the mare's previous run) (op 25/1)

You may be right, maxb, but even if she hadn’t hung on it would still have been a performance considerably in advance of her earlier debut run. She was up a Class as well.

Time To get Up...
Two days on the trot now, A Johnjo horse that had been reported to the stewards dots up at a good price, backed in from 20's this morning...

Midfield, lost position 10th, soon towards rear, shaken up before 3 out, kept on approaching last, went modest third towards finish, eyecatcher (jockey said, regarding running and riding, his instructions were to jump off and sit handy, with a view to getting gelding in a nice jumping rhythm on the gelding's first run over fences, after a 329 day lay-off. jockey added that gelding's early jumping was novicey, but improved as the race progressed, however when the leaders quickened up exiting the back straight, the gelding was initially out-paced and ran into the bottom of the cross-fence losing ground. he further added that turning into the home straight, he felt gelding commence to tire and thereafter the gelding lugged left-handed, so he chose to ride a hands and heels finish, which served to ensure gelding found the line and achieved the best possible placing. jockey also explained that as gelding is a long-striding horse, the gelding may prove to be better suited to a more galloping track in future) (op 12/1)

KYNTARA

Warwick. 15 February 2021
Paddy Power Intermediate Open National Hunt Flat Race (GBB Race)
2m, Class 5, £2,274.30
Going: Heavy

Although the ground was suspect and you could only guess at the quality of the opposition this was an eye-popping performance from Kyntara. He led the field a merry dance and just moved further away as soon as he was asked until they were just a speck in the distance.

If this thread goes on 12 months you will have every runner in most races noted. It stops being useful if you don't dump them after 1 run or 1 run under optional conditions.

Yes, most go into my own tracker and are discarded fairly rapidly unless good reason to keep. I’ve started indicating subsequent runs so people interested can make their own dumping decisions. It’s not that often (yet) that there are multiple entries but, as you suggest, it must increase. I stopped reference to flat runs at the end of the season.

I’m happy to go along with what anyone who is interested would find the most useful - so speak up.

PIC D’ORHY


Taunton. 23 February 2021
Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race)
2m½f, Class 2, £9,495
Going: Heavy

Back hurdling Pic D’orhy cruised into the lead before the second last and looked to be holding the challenge of the eventual winner when he clattered the last. The slight loss of momentum probably made the difference as he went down by a head in the end. Nicholls said afterwards that he would probably stay hurdling for the rest of this season and that the Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr was a likely target. Maybe worth keeping in mind for that.
 
Hamwood Flier (Jessie Harrington)
Ran fourth on debut last Friday at Dundalk at 20/1 having led inside final furlong.
Interesting as she was bred by Frank Dunne , brother of Ben Dunne (Dunnes Stores, who allegedly gave Charles J Haughey £1000000)
Filly's fourth dam is Balidaress, bred by the same CJH who had he kept her would not have needed the Dunne million to get by, as An Capall's wonderful article demonstrated.
See "An Capall Strikes Again" thread for the full story.
