It was a while ago I watched that race and hadn't remembered that, but as you say, you can probably mark him up a bit on the bare result for that. -
Its a very good find by you.Originally posted by Block 205 View Post
I'm looking forward to seeing if he gets the Monday declaration tomorrow morning now."Journeys to Glory, breathing in his head".Comment

Thanks Saxon. To be honest I was a bit disappointed that he didn't end up running at Cheltenham as I'd have liked to have seen how he fared against considerably better opposition and also how he handled the track, but they may just have felt that he needed an extra 10 days between races. Either way, I'll be watching with interest on Monday if he runs there, but anything less than another commanding performance there would probably burst this particular bubble.Originally posted by Saxon Warrior View PostComment

He strikes me as this seasons Bear Ghylls, who I was all over last year. I'm already on from when 365 put a price up a couple of weeks ago. It's interesting that Sportsbook and PP now go 100/1 though. I think I'll avail myself with a little top up at that price. thanks for highlighting Block, as I hadn't seen it.Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.Comment

110/1 with a boost which I've just added with a free bet, so once again thanks for highlighting Block. I'll keep the 365 bet for now, but will possibly cash it later.Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.Comment

Willie mentioned Sir G for here so the 14-1 looks decent with PP.Comment

No problem Spectre, and glad you got the boosted 110/1 too - let's hope for a good showing on Monday if he runs.Originally posted by Spectre View PostComment

No mention of Dysart Dynamo
Obviously the tour cant include every horse he has but theres a few average horses in there and you'd have thought he would have made the list.Comment

Do you have the actual quote to hand Quevega? Unfortunately I've backed Kilcruit for this and Sir G for the Supreme based on Mullins' original quotes after the Festival Bumper, but it seems as though plans may now have changed.Originally posted by Quevega View PostComment

Kilcruit
He ran well in a bumper for my brother Tony and then we bought him. He was fantastic, I was hoping he'd made a good chaser down the line somewhere but he was fantastic as a bumper horse. He ran very well when second at Cheltenham and came out to turn the form around at Punchestown. He's by Stowaway, he's a very tall, light-framed horse and looking at what he did in bumpers I'd be inclined to go down the shorter route with him, we can always explore our way with him. I'm happy that's (two miles) where we'll start off and we'll be aiming for the Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Hurdle. He doesn't take an awful lot of work and he'll come to hand early enough.
Sir G
He looked fantastic at Cheltenham and ran very well again at Punchestown when third. He’s a horse we’ll be going novice hurdling with and you’d imagine he’s more a Ballymore horse than a Sky Bet Supreme horse, but we’ll let him tell us as the season progresses.
FWIW - IMO - it's far from set in stone.Comment

Some will be hoping not, if they've angled everything in the one direction for these two horses in particular.Originally posted by Lobos View PostI'd be inclined....... we'll start off......we can always explore...... you'd imagine...... we'll let him tell us......

Not the best read if you have though, I'd imagine.

I'm 'wrong' on both in numerous bets if they go the way of the tour . Have to take it on the chin if so. Not going to try and cover now, the damage is done. Happens every year though and will happen several more times before March. All part of the funOriginally posted by Quevega View Post

Yeah i've backed sir gerhard for the supreme so those comments from mullins are slightly disappointing but I definitely wouldn't give up hope.
I always like to use my own eyes to decide a horses target rather than solely relying on trainer comments, and to me looking at that champion bumper run, sir gerhard showed a lot of speed off the home turn to open up a lead on kilcruit only to tie up a little in the closing stages while kilcruit finished like a train.
The obvious conclusion to take from that would be that sir g is fine at that trip while kilcruit might be better over a tad further. Of course it is not always as black and white as that but I think anybody looking at that race would agree that sir g looked more of a speedy type whereas kilcruit looked a bit more of a relentless galloper.Comment
