Serves me right for abandoning salsify after he pulled me out of the sh1t at Cheltenham.
yes he was two years ago as well..when he started that thread in the same vein
i'll have laugh and banter with anyone..but he posts rarely and usually in the same vein..and same target..then it was Hamm and me
its no problem to me..but i will pass comment
That's petty, bitter and unnecessary, Ardross. I would daresay not your usual style. Having a pop at someone's career ambitions, etc. Not on really!

You can poke yer f*cking Istrabraq up yer rear-ends.
I can see no reason why Hurricane Fly can't come back and win another Champion Hurdle but much depends on can he stay sound and how good Our Conor and possibly Far West turn out to be.Some hike in trip for the Hurricane to tackle the French Champion Hurdle - thought a more logical route would be for Mullins to aim him at the Barka over 2m 5f and then put him away until next season.
Will also be interesting to see what he aims at the Prix De Longchamp and hopefully target something at the big November meeting, with the number of fillies and mares he has in the yard he must have something for the big mares handicap over there at the end of November.

In the light of the discussions before Cheltenham and the subsequent revelations about the sectionals, surely HF is far too short? We know the race fell into his lap because they went over-fast so there's no way ROR will do that again. If ROR runs the same way as in last year's race there's no way HF beats him out of sight. I've taken the 9/2.
Hat's off to Hurricane Fly and to Thousand Stars but a poor effort from Rock On Ruby who ran at least 7lbs below his best on the ground.
I can understand your enthusiasm but please ffs don't be going comparing him to Istabraq
You got a short memory my friend.

which means he's way more important than ordinary posters on here of course
similar sentiments made on the comments under that video comparing to the different era's. i think hurricane's name probably deserves to be thrown into the ring now.Hat's off to Hurricane Fly and to Thousand Stars but a poor effort from Rock On Ruby who ran at least 7lbs below his best on the ground.

Of course not. Bobbyjo spouts as much rubbish as any of us, possibly more. I just resented the sneering judgement of his professional competence by an earlier poster. A low blow in my opinion. Play the ball, not the man
I'd like to see him put away now win a few more Irish mickey mouse grade 1's and get that 3rd CH win under his belt......

one thing can be said for sure. it's a fantastic performance to have trained the fly to the record he has when you think back to the numerous issues he had over the first couple of years of his career, not to mention the problems he had last season when by the end of it you suspected we'd all seen the best of him. superb from willie mullins.
Fook me wish I had a crystal ball......Jezki is CH class is he? Funny I thought he got his ass kicked in novice company at Cheltenham and you got him giving HF a race next year?
