Thanks for the kind words everyone. 
If favs didn’t have such a terrible record in the race I’d be bullish!

Unbelievably he wasn't even made fav after winning a 2M6F Grade 1, when its the best Irish staying novice hurdle form.Originally posted by charlie View PostThanks for the kind words everyone.

In Britain the Tolworth over 2M4F is the only Grade 1 at mid-distances so far, and it was a close run match between The Cashel Man and Thyme Hill."Journeys to Glory, breathing in his head".Comment

I was dissapointed in fury road yesterday, not completely turned off but he just found nothing, i thought at the very least he would get himself involved. Ill still keep the faith though and hope he improves from that run. My concern as always with him is he can gallop around on the bridle and look quality but then gets found out when they all kick on
The winner looks a serious nag and ill be backing him today for this as i only have thyme hill & fury road for thisComment

Agree SW.. was very surprised how little his price moved. Down to connections I suppose. The dream is well and truly on!Originally posted by Saxon Warrior View PostComment

Is it wishful thinking to hope that Asterion Forlonge’s performance today gives me more hope the The Big Getaway comes here? I’ve not got a bean on AF for any race and Shishkin for the Ballymore only. Fingers crossed the owners want a runner in each race.Comment

It's be a pretty strange decision to not run asterion forlonge in the supreme after today on that ground in a grade one. With Envoi Allen awaiting in the other race.Originally posted by JackieMoon33 View PostComment

Hoping that Mullins sticks to his guns and has AF for the supreme and TBG for Ballymore but we will see.. Pocket talk obviously.Originally posted by JackieMoon33 View PostComment

The Donnelly's must be pinching themselves. What an amazing team of horses they have assembled in a relatively short space of time.
So hard to know what they will do. Will EA scare them off? Could well run both Shishkin and AF in this and The Big Getaway in the AB.Comment

Cant see them not giving 1 of theirs a shot at Envoi Allen, I mean he isn't invincible is he?Originally posted by Can't Catch Me View PostComment

Don’t think they will have a runner in this, can see The Big Getaway in the Ballymore and Shishkin and Asterion Forlonge in the supreme.Originally posted by darlojim View PostComment

It's anyone who has backed Envoi Allen who should be scared.
No decision made but the interview with Mullins suggested Shishkin would go Supreme and Asterion Forlonge to the Ballymore. Anything different would be a big surprise.Comment

Careful with that prediction he said AF to the supreme on RTV.. certainly needs clarifyingOriginally posted by kinloch brae View PostComment

That was the post race interview on RTE. It is pretty obvious they are not going to waste both in the Supreme and Asterion Forlonge looks the much stronger stayer.Originally posted by kinloch brae View PostComment

One's won a maiden, the other a grade one.Originally posted by kinloch brae View Post
And I'm not sure what you read into the interview but it's a bit skewed IMO.
And don't forget Willie all but committed Big Getaway to the Ballymore last week.
Owt could happen.
But pretty obvious ? My arse.
And if Shishkin (fast time winner in heavy ground) hacks up in the sydney banks over 2m 3f ?
What happens then ?Comment
