2022 Ballymore Novices Hurdle

[Lbur4288]

*Haven't actually backed either of these for this race but worth mentioning*

Two horses I think might be worth getting on to the anyrace market, Govan (20/1 Will Hill), runs against Sir Gerhard today in a 2m maiden, by Poligote so potentially his best work would come at 2m4f. I've elected to go any race incase he's more a Martin Pipe type as opposed to the Ballymore.

The other is Freedom to Dream, have a look at the horse. It was beaten my Appreciate It in a bumper, it has since come back off a 2 year lay off and won first time out. It runs in the all important Albert Bartlett trial race according to the Irish race planner. 33/1 currently available, the horse certainly hasn't got 2m pace so your gambling Ballymore/MP/AB but as a betting man I'd say AB.

Bayoffreedom is an owner of Freedom to Dream and has posted bits in the NH section along with a link to his blog which is usually a good read.

Pleased with Gerri Colombe there

Nice there from Gerri Colombe, looks like there was plenty left in the tank.

[Altior]

Couldn't ask for much more. Very exciting.

[Zachx02]

Good run that, 2nd didn't seem like a bad type either

Sky still have GC to place @ 6/1

[Irish Rugby]

Impressive FTO. Didn't seem to be stretched either.

Prices not been smashed in like I thought they would

Would've thought so, JWM for the spud race. Just seen the blogger tweet saying he's a spud race horse in the making.....

Be grand the hype will come. Every tom dick and harry pretends they knew about Bob Olinger from the get go but the reality obviously wasn't the case.

Smashed? I don't think he deserves to be smash. Did it grand, nothing else.

The Racingtv guy mentioned he could go to the AB aswell so maybe the blogger has just quoted him verbatim

I wouldn't completely rule out GC to the AB and JWM here though.

ive covered both scenarios

I’m a big Gerri backer for this but I’m still a little unsure after that. It was probably a very weak race so it’s not easy to gauge anything but he looked like he’d have gone a lot further if needed.

Denis O'Regan on Gerri Colombe: "He's still very green for a horse that has done so much, he still has a lot to learn. He jumped well and he is a beautiful horse to look forward to. A nice stayer. He has a nice bit of class."

Horse in second was second to Hollow games first time out too. So a bit of a form line there maybe.
