The Road to the Punchestown Festival

[Tanlic]

Don't doubt his class, Grassy - just his stamina.

Stamina Reet? Surely 3 miles round Chelters was a bit stiiffer than today's race?

Really hard to imagine Solwit losing

 

[chroniclandlord]

Good to see A Fine Young Man up all right, that was a nasty fall.

 

[Grasshopper]

Thought Ruby gave Twinlight a cracking ride there.

 

[chroniclandlord]

A good performance from horse and jockey all right.

 

[Diamond Geezer]

Worth noting that At Fishers Cross came fifth in the equivalent of the first race this time last year

 

[EC1]

Quevega is best in at the weights and will relish conditions..will do for me

 

[Grasshopper]

Gutted

 

[bigfow]

That's such a shame. Do I get my money back on the forecast?

 

[EC1]

Gutted

think it was for the best for you he didn't

seriously though...a shame he didn't run..would have been some race

 

[Steve T]

Would've been great to see them both on the bridle coming to the last.

 

[dvds2000]

That's such a shame. Do I get my money back on the forecast?

Depends on the bookie, but most seem to change it to a win bet on the horse that ran

 

[bigfow]

That's fine as it was Quevega.

 

[reet hard]

Certainly beat Reve De Sivola a deal easier than Solwhit managed.

 

[LUKE]

Quevega was one of the bets of the year-unfortunately I was too much of a coward to go for the bet I wanted.

 

[bigfow]

Special Tiara surely to big a price?

 

[Diamond Geezer]

Solwhit only had a scratch & did not break a blood vessel, but frustrating for all involved. Russell & connections had no choice

 

[JamesRB]

it's a real shame they didn't let quevega take her chance in the world hurdle. very nice form today beating RdS 5 lengths hard held on conditions that suited him.

 

[granger]

Quevega a lot better than some on here gave her credit for. The bet of the year for me.

I don't think the fav would have beaten her in any case, shame he didn't make it

 

[granger]

Sizing europe top class horse

could have a won a Champion hurdle


as a chaser
consistent and many top performances
but not as good as Well Chief, Moscow, Azerty or Master Minded

I understand that sizing may not have produced an exceptional individual performance like those listed above but given his consistency and years of service, he ranks right up there for me.

 

[Diamond Geezer]

Although the first scan was non conclusive a second scan has shown Rule The World did sustain a fractured pelvis on Tuesday but the overall prognosis for his future career is positive.

 

[Euronymous]

Quevega a lot better than some on here gave her credit for. The bet of the year for me.

I don't think the fav would have beaten her in any case, shame he didn't make it

Had a sneaky £20 double on her at 2s with Arvika. Beefy rule 4

No way would Solwhit have beaten her today.

 

[Grasshopper]

No way would Solwhit have beaten her today.

Total conjecture, but probably true. It was a great performance from Quevega.

 

[granger]

You will be as limp as a leftie's handshake after Solwhit has hacked-up.

Like a shire horse I am :lol:

 

[chroniclandlord]

Five winners on the day for Mullins and Walsh. Just when it looked like Mullin's horses were starting to lose their form.

 

[Diamond Geezer]

Ruby only rode four of them I think CL
