.....but Deputy Dan ran no sort of race

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.....Sherwood couldn't train butter to melt in a hot pan.....he is an utter hound of a trainer.

Glad to see Clarcam do it very nicely. He's very likeable.
Was no match for Vautour though.

Great result for Vautour fans that. Clearcam looks a decent horse.

wounded warrior improved today too. Three miles next please Noël.

WW did do it nicely, paying a complement to Don Poli. Still not entirely happy he has been banished to the 4m route this early.
Yes you would think WW will step up next time.

Clarcam the Leopardstown two miler and sounder warrior either lim or leopard over Xmas over three miles

Mala Beach has been backed this morning up against Un Atout on his debut

 

[edgt]

The 4 mile looks to be a pot boiler this year with the quality of horse aimed at it.
Pity Robbie Mac has turned pro; he would have had some choice of rides.

Looking forward to seeing how far SGT Reckless can go in the 2m division. Has been a talking horse since his unraced 3YO days and to stay so close to the likes of Vautour and Josses Hill over hurdles will hopefully prove good efforts.

Didn't like his ride on Mallowney today

TTT reportedly had a lung infection. Explains below par run.

 

[Double Handful]

Certainly would explain it somewhat! Won't get me my money back though
Had to take a clean break from all racing for over a week after that race. Took an absolute bath that weekend! Still hurts.
Have you a link to this report, Frankel?

Good

Leopardstown xmas race is red hot with or without him

What is the story with Josses Hill?

What is the story with Josses Hill?

After Christmas I think

What is the story with Josses Hill?

Had some sort of splint issue. Didn't school over a fence until at least September.

Hopefully he'll take to fences as quickly as Well Chief did.

 

[Perpetual]

Some small but smart fields tomorrow:

Kings Palace, Return Spring, Suasalito Sunrise & Vivaldi Collonges at Cheltenham. Surprised Richard Johnson has picked the one he has

Melodic Rendezvous at Bangor

Clondaw Kaempfer & Red Devils Boys at Doncaster

 

[granger]

Pipe is fair fond of running KP at Cheltenham. Bar his run at the festival, this looks a serious orse

 

[Euronymous]

Lets hope he bothers to run him somewhere, anywhere, in the new year. He didn't prep him last season and he didn't prep Grands Crus before his RSA. It's the one concern I have.

 

[Frankel]

Have to say the thought of him and SDR potentially clashing at Kempton would be one to see.

 

[Grasshopper]

Sausalito gets a decent pull today.....I'm surprised KP is as short as he is.

 

[granger]

Will be pushed out before the off hopefully

 

[Frankel]

Small field and I would be worried about taking on the fav as he maybe allowed to have things his own way out front. Even with the weight pull it may not be enough if it is a slowly run race.
If SS takes it up some way out or at least pesters KP out front then the weight pull could be the difference.
