Sunday Racing

Interesting cards at Leopardstown and Mallow (though the latter faces an early inspection) tommorrow.

Cork National headlines the Mallow card alongside two really interesting novice races (3m hurdle and 2m4f chase), neither of which look particularly appealing betting propositions.

In the Cork National, Our Monty looks an absolutely ridiculous price at 5/4. Willie Mullins has deservedly acquired the reputation of something of a wizard with horses acquired from others (included this one), but this horse has an awful lot to prove over 3m4f in what is likely to be a slog having never won over further than 2m7f and with most of his form on better ground. He may well be on a nice mark, but 9/4 would look short enough to my eye; 5/4 is taking the piss (much like Conclave over an inadequate 2m at Galway last Sunday).

Paddy Pub and Glenquin Castle look interesting, with both relatively unexposed and likely to be suited by a thorough test of stamina. Will have a closer look at some stage tonight, as well as the card at Leopardstown.

Any fancies?

I fancy laying Our Monty for a place if the price is right.

Rite of Passage in the big November handicap in Leopardstown,(3.10).

 

[Narcotic Nora]

Cork and Leopardstown are both OFF due to waterlogging

 

[Kauto Abu]

Was thinking as much! Some amount of rain overnight.

 

[Relkeel]

Marsh-Mallow?

Toms Laughter has been on my horse to follow list for a while (eye catching run at Beverley).
Would some of the AW experts care to comment on its chances this afternoon? I can't get my head around this type of surface.

Thinking in terms of my middle range e/w bet.

Border Patrol, 1.35 Saint Cloud will appreciate the ground better than at Longchamp last time I hope.

 

[Gamla Stan]

I think Usbeke could run a big race in the 1.35 Saint Cloud, 25/1 was far too appealing and I've had a decent bet on the German horse. It's going to be pretty testing there and he ran a very decent time last time out over course and distance.

 

[Ardross]

It will be interesting to see if Emerald Commander has "survived" the move to Godolphin.

 

[chroniclandlord]

Is Saint Cloud being shown on television?

 

[Gamla Stan]

I would imagine ATR will show the group races.

 

[BlazingWalker]

Interesting ride (or lack of one) from Richard Hughes just then at Lingfield:blink: I Can only think there was a problem because he didn't do a thing on Sir Orpen.

 

[Hamm]

I thought the same by Turner on the favourite .. never put into the race or ridden in any meaningful way.

 

[BlazingWalker]

She got caught behind horses and nearly came down and that put paid to any chance.Having watched the replay I am even more perplexed by Hughes ride.

 

[Irish Stamp]

I've taken some 22's about Arasin in the big race at Saint-Cloud who was a good second to Behkabad last time out.

Given the opposition it's rather amusing to see Rosanara trading at 1/5 on the PMU 5 minutes before the off.

 

[BlazingWalker]

Looking at the weather, 'Turtle Spirit' would be an apt winner of the first at Carlisle

 

[Gamla Stan]

I'd suspect the form of that amounts to bugger all.

 

[betsmate]

10/1 second favourite for the Derby apparently.

 

[trackside528]

edit: clearly Jan Vermeer!

 

[trackside528]

Heard that Leopardstown are re-staging today's card next Saturday. Not positive though - Gal might be able to confirm?

 

[chroniclandlord]

Any word whether there is going to be a rescheduled card?

 

[Guest_]

Leopardstown is rescheduled for this Thursday. Cork will be at a later date.

 

[chroniclandlord]

Thanks.

Opposing Our Monty around 5/2 on the same grounds as before.

Have Glenquin Castle backed E/W to small stakes.
