Punchestown 2012

[LUKE]

Big Zeb touching 2/1 a place on the machine -astronomical price.This time last year I thought the same about Kauto Star.

 

[On The Bridle]

Just watched the Alderwood / Trifolium race...brilliant brilliant finish..

 

[SlimChance]

Gold Cup favourite up next. The betting w/o market takes my interest. You'd fancy Frisco Depot (10/11) to finish 2nd but at 5/2 I had to back Mossey Joe purely on price.

 

[icebreaker]

I'ld be keen to have a nibble at that 5/2, but the best I can see anywhere is 6/4 and 2.7 Betfair ?

 

[SlimChance]

5/2 Boyles

 

[SlimChance]

The bet 11/8 and 7/4 w/o on course.

 

[dazzies]

5/2 boylesports

 

[icebreaker]

Er no, Boyles are 7/4 .................

 

[SlimChance]

I'd imagine they are revised prices when the opening show comes in.

 

[SlimChance]

Mossey Joe shorteR on betfair so 7/4 ok now too.

 

[Aragorn]

I've backed the SDC/Frisco forecast. I think the latter is getting his act together over fences but you can't oppose SDC.

 

[Aragorn]

You can only laugh when stuff like that happens.....

 

[SlimChance]

Words fail me.

 

[granger]

Wonder what they'll do with Sizing next season

 

[granger]

I still think Flemenstar is the best novice in Ireland

Tingle Creek/Ryanair

 

[Euronymous]

Agreed. He's certainly a better jumper than SDC. Lets hope he doesn't become Rubi Light mark 2.

Tingle Creek/Ryanair

TG will prob tell all i'd say

Are your concerns ground or trip?

 

[Euronymous]

Ground. His sire gets high class stayers and he seems bred to stay.

Good ground the last day euro and he beat a good horse in Rathlin 11 lengths

 

[Euronymous]

True, but Gold Cup day just seems verging on G/F nowadays.

At this stage though if someone forced me to have a bet it would be either him or Last Instalment.

 

[granger]

Anyine else think that SDC looks more like a KG horse than a lexus?

A little help for the distances betting, though probably can't rely on one of those each day..

Took a hit on Big Zeb but thought it was a chronic race.Sizing was dead on his feet at the end of the race but was still comfortably the best.
Will be very surprised if he runs in the Ryanair -when a friend of mine suggested to Henry he go for the Ryanair as a novice it was clear that the Ryanair was considered a second division race.I think he deserves a shot at reclaiming the Champion Chase.
