Thyestes Handicap Chase.

[Generous1991]

I've learned something about the history and longevity of TH from this thread.
Respect!

Edit: as for the 3:30 at Gowran Park, I really don't have a clue.

I have got my Gigginstown shaped blunderbuss out and backed Search For Glory, Shanbally Kid and Quai De Bourbon.

Intense Raffles will win the Thyestes.

Just bet on staying mudlarks today.

1240 Gowran Park Champagne Jury

Sire record with NH runners the last 5 years on today’s going is 1/98. Hurdle wise that becomes 9/70.
Sire at the Course the last 5 years with Hurdlers is 1/13 and on today’s going that becomes 0/4.
At all undulating tracks with an uphill finish, over Hurdles, and on today’s going the record is 0/13 and 0 places.
Breeding suggest that Course and Conditions are against this one.
Trainer at the Course the last 5 years under NH code has a record of 9/94. The last winner was 1 year ago, and the losing run is 12.
The record over the period with Hurdlers is 6/50 and the last winner was as above. He hasn’t sent another Hurdler here since.
Current form has been below par with a 30 day record of 3/89. Hurdles wise that becomes 1/50.
He hasn’t had a winner this year under NH code, and the losing run is 44. There are a lot of double figure prices within that number but even his fancied ones aren’t performing.
Jockey form over the last 30 days has been poor with a record of 1/43. Today’s trainer does account for 27 of those rides but the remaining 16 he hasn’t even placed in.
Is the confidence there as regards the stables runners?
There are only 2 that can beat it in a proper run race but that’s enough to take it on, especially on Sire data and Trainer form.

12.40 Eagle Quest 4/1

Hi all - I tried cleaning up this thread, and moved most of the posts dealing with Slim's suspension and banishment talk in the forum to here:

If you'd to continue that conversation, please do it there.

All Night Revival looked to have a lot more under the hood in the first.

Glad to see Gavin Cromwell has had a few winners today as I have backed Yeah Man in the Thyestes in the hope he can at least give me a run for my money.
