Cheltenham Bumper 2019

[Scooby91]

I agree with the comments on the ride, certjantly seems like a game plan... I just can’t work out what it is

He just not good enough for this.

[thistlecracker]

That’s a shame ... que enurgene or however it’s spelt!

[cwright23]

He hasn’t even had an entry yet has he? Is he even in willies yard yet?

[bobbyvalentino]

^^ I'd like to know this. Even if he's at Willies yard, you'd have wanted an entry (or at least to have heard the name!) by this point. Probably going to cash Energumene.

[jono]

Not uncommon for some of his bumper horses to have no entry though is there? Pretty sure we had the same thing with Stay Humble last season? He was touted early on, then we got nothing, no entries until suddenly appearing on Feb 24th. That was always likely too close to Cheltenham and he flopped anyway but for me it shows not to get too worried right now.

I'm waiting on both Shadow Rider and Energumene. Won't start getting concerned until late January myself

Ontheropes

"A very interesting son of Presenting, bought by Harold Kirk for willie Mullins for 240k.

Ontheropes was a fast finishing second in Punchestown p2p in February. What stands out about the race is the winner,*Madiba Passion*absolutely cruised through the race, jumped like a stag, whereas Ontheropes made up a lot of ground on the leader having been held up, showing that the engine is not only there but considerable in power. As*Madiba Passiontired in the home straight Ontheropes came through with what looked like a powerful winning run only to clobber the last two fences but even so, rallied, only to go down by a nose in a photo finish.

Clearly a fantastic engine is now being fined tuned at Willie Mullins Yard and not being short of pace at all, one can only imagine Patrick Mullins licking his lips at the thought of riding this fellow in NHF races this season"

Same race that he started Next Destination off in, before he came 4th (3 lengths) behind Fayonagh at the festival on his 2nd start would give you hope.

Worth a poke.

Mt Leinster is still 20/1

Surely all hope has gone that he's good enough to run let alone win this race?

Or am I being a tad harsh?

[Hurricane fly]

I don’t see how it can be kept at that price

Only thing of note is how they don’t go after the horse at all, almost as if they were planning a handicap plot but for the bumper!

I think Patrick did get after him on this 3rd place finish ... https://www.sportinglife.com/racing/...kers-flat-race

bu the horse didn't get there, so I don;'t see where the improvement would be coming from.

Delighted to be cashing that out at full stake. Assumed the cashout would be long gone and a very short price!



Have given it straight back on Ontheropes just like they want me to though

I don't know this site personally but if you watched the vids of the races There race reading is accurate. So seems a decent site.
