2017 Bumper

[cwright23]

Nothing has even come close to the time getabird clocked on his debut, can't wait to see if willie runs him again before Cheltenham.. Also have small interests in Carter mckay western Ryder and ballyward

Was the time that good CW?

I've just jumped on the getabird bandwagon and put him in with several short priced favs in multiples at his price of 6/1 giving a decent return

[cwright23]

Take a look FM, even 2m on good to soft soft in places ground 3m 48s.. 1st time out as well.. ballyandy won the bumper last year with the exact same time on the same ground.. You can compare times with anything and anyone to support Any claim we like.. It's just one I was really impressed with

GE has said BBB could be kept to bumpers again this season, with one of the championship bumpers being the aim.

*Unlikely to be Cheltenham bumper given who the owners are

Last update I had seen That is disappointing. This says that BBB would be over a hurdle in Feb... not seen todays news. Bit disappointing.

Better get BBB ready for the Neptune then, pronto

Vanessa Ryle out it on Twitter. I'll copy and paste the exactly what she said.....

@V_Binnie_Ryle: GE on Blow By Blow: "I may go back for one of the big Championship bumpers." - At least he wont have to bump into Death Duty for a while.

Seems a bit of a waste of a season when it is likely they'll see BBB as a chaser in the long run?

I am a bit surprised and disappointed. Giggi don't buy them to win novice hurdles so why not get him in the mix. Seems odd from connections. I guess I could take it as a positive to DD?

[DeeBee]

Anyone heard anymore on Getabird? I vaguely remember hearing that he might not run again before Chelts so not concerned. I'm just surprised he hasn't shortened more based on his previous run. I almost had him down as this years Limini (in terms of a stable banker). I guess another win before now and then will see him 2/1. He makes up a good chunk of my multis.. im just annoyed i missed the 20s before his debut (i have Rubys terrible ride on VVM earlier that day to thank for that)

[Can't Catch Me]

I havent heard anything DeeBee, but as someone who was on Limini in a big way last year, I wouldn't worry as I was having these exact same thoughts last year!! She was still 4/1 and 5/1 at this stage of the season.

I'm also on Getabird, and am positive the horse will shorten as we get closer.

They always said that Getabird would probably go straight to the Fez.
I haven't gone in yet, but need to before the 5/1 goes...
