The Road to the Punchestown Festival

[Steve T]

Lastoftheleaders won't mind the ground in the 6.40 but longer trip in the ground is a slight concern.

 

[bigfow]

That was some whip catch by SWC.

 

[bigfow]

Mighty milan for me won on heavy at Punchestown before by a wide margin

 

[EC1]

Call the Police ..looks worth a shot at 12.5 in that 6.40 race

 

[Diamond Geezer]

Rule The World, fractured pelvis, not life threatening and may race again

Seems as if a scan has not shown a fracture in the pelvis after all, so a second scan being taken shortly.

FL should have Aintree as his main aim next season.

 

[granger]

Sizing staying in training next season too.

Aimed at three mile chases.

 

[chroniclandlord]

There were a couple of awful heavy falls in that last chase.

Agree Granger, Aintree suits him better than either Cheltenham or Punchestown.

Makes sense. Ran a cracker again.

Gutted Captain Chris couldn't make the frame. He's probably a bit behind the best (stating the obvious) but 3m1f on that ground was too much.

Have a whomper Quevega stiffy

Difficult to tell with Carberry on board but thought Lastoftheleaders was coming to claim a place before he tipped up at the 2nd last.

On the strength of what - 2nd's to Bobs Worth and Cue Card, or his defeat of Rock On Ruby?
Ran a blinder today in a race set up for the first string, and might still have won, without the error at the 3rd last.

Reve de Sivola has his conditions tomorrow. More rain please.

Clearly talented horse, I think it's reasonable to think he just doesn't stay 3m 2 at Cheltenham.

No one is doubting he didn't run a stormer today, just that a flat 3miles at Aintree may be his ideal trip

 

[Euronymous]

Is there more rain forecast between now and tomorrow's card?

 

[High Rate]

Tranquil Sea runs well but finds one too good on the day...e/w money landed.

 

[On The Bridle]

Is there more rain forecast between now and tomorrow's card?

70-80% chance of rain every hour till post time for Naas. That basically means the ground will be just perfect for Reve

 

[Euronymous]

Thanks Barry.

 

[del boy]

Would heavy ground be a major inconvenience for Quevega?

 

[Euronymous]

Not as much as running against credible opponents will be.

 

[On The Bridle]

No but you backing it would.....

 

[granger]

No but you backing it would.....

Har har
