2022 Ballymore Novices Hurdle

[riccirich]

Ginto still edging to his right at most hurdles, not as pronounced as his first run at navan but still noticeable.

I think he's got away with it there because he was up against stayers but in the ballymore against some speedier types I think that momentum loss at most of his hurdle could cost him.

If they can iron that out though he could be a serious horse, if he jumped straight today today he would have been an even more authoritative winner.

Bet365 cashout already gone on HG for Ballymore and Ginto for AB

[HoldenTheReins]

Yep and probably splits the 2 Robcour ones with Henry too.

Where would Gerri Colombe sit? in a handicap?

[FinalFurlong91]

Hoping today's result is of benefit to the Dysart Dynamo>Ballymore and Hollow Games>AB backers......

FWIW, i can't warm to Ginto, not sure what it is. Did it decent today though.

Ginto looks a lovely horse

Can see him running a big race in this but can see something having too many gears and beating him

Hopefully Dysart dynamo

agree that hollow games looks tailor made for the bartlett

[CJW]

We all know who wins this, hopefully willie does now too...

[DenmanSacre]

I think Ginto done it well but being at the front meant he stayed out of the mess before the bend. Grand Jury jumped well at the right time to also avoid it and will look to be held by Ginto, though the yard isn't in the best of form.

Whatdeawant probably should be closer and Hollow Games ran on well for those on him for the Albert Bartlett.

Needs two more runs before Cheltenham for that. So unlikely a handicap

[Zachx02]

Just can't get myself to rate Ginto as much as others do on here, good performance but Ballymore winner? Not for me right now

I'm in this camp too, I really think if Dysart Dynamo runs in this then he'll be fairly short on the day.

Where would Gerri Colombe sit? in a handicap?

I think he will yes, based on nothing more than a hunch. Needs 2 more runs which shouldn’t be too hard to fit in. Obviously he could go and bolt up in a graded race next time out and head straight to the festival, but at this point he’d be looking like the 2nd string for both trainers and owners in either of the graded novice hurdles

Still able to cash Hollow Games with PP, just cashed my 1pt @45/1, no way coming here now. Ginto was good, but IMO we haven’t seen the Ballymore winner today. I believe it is between Dysart Dynamo and Gerri Colombe.

I know after-timing is frowned upon as is using monetary sums, but I had 10p in my coral account from some stupid free game and did the Ginto/Grand Jury forecast, paid out 1.61 quid! That's very nearly 1/4 of an on course pint paid for in March, booooom!

Between both of those for me too, provided JWM doesnt come here which I don't think he will

You had to rub that one into the rest of us, didn't you?

I think grand jury looked class today aswell, im going to have a go on him for this race..if the ground was better today i think he could opened up better then he could in that soft ground
