2022 Ballymore Novices Hurdle

[Benjy23]

Grand Jury being well supported. I think we're in for a proper market shake up in the next hour. If, and I appreciate it's a big if, Grand Jury wins and beats Hollow Games in a similar fashion to Ginto, then I think he'll almost certainly rubber stamp his ticket for this. I haven't backed him today, but I think the Hills 33/1 to win today and at Cheltenham is a good bet.

Wrong race surely? Albert Bartlett if he wins here.

Had to get involved… Henry saying he wants 3 mile has me seriously scratching my head, but he’s been really well supported now today.

Not necessarily. GDM won last year and went the Ballymore.

I know it's Mullins and he chats shit so he may well have done but... I doubt he specifically name checked the Albert Bartlett before the race last year, like Henry has done with this one. Only way he goes Ballymore is if beaten today imo

[Hurricane fly]

Well, that cleared that one up.....

[DenmanSacre]

I'd hope Minella Cocooner will come here after that. The other 2 were closing at the line.

Agree thought his jumping was superb so quick and seemed to make ground on the field at most hurdles.

[Dandrew99]

Oh look, Grand Jury didn't want the step up at all. Who'd have thought that?

Didn't see Minella Cocooner winning still didn't overly impress me, might be totally wrong but did Davy lose an iron or something on Hollow Games? Would have to watch back but looked like he was fiddling about with something, couldn't quite see.

Hope you are right....took a silly price on exchange for fun few days ago.......be my win of week

I do think makes sense, though not sure he would win

[Irish Rugby]

With this wind at Leopardstown it might be hard for many to come off the pace today. If that proves not to be the case, it adds to Minella Cocooners performance there.

Danny Mullins on Minella Cocooner:

"Hollow Games moved up coming to the second last but I was happy I would pick up and battle with him. It was a nice surprise to see how easily I got away from him. It is beautiful ground, credit to Leopardstown."

To me which seem again what most people are saying on here SG looked better at the finish and was pulling away from TTL and the Ballymore would suit him much more. The slower pace would help out his jumping as well.

Even the comments by the trainer after mentioning the choice of the two races and seeing what else would go where makes you think here.

Dysart Dynamo (even though most of us have got him in the Ballymore) looks like he would be be perfect in the Supreme setting a strong fast pace like Mullins horses have done in the past to win the race like Vautour and Douvan.

Willie has already said Kilcruit is going the Supreme and thinks that he is so much better now after the application of the tongue tie.

So to have Dysart and Kilcruit in the Supreme is a very strong hand for him and SG as favourite in the Ballymore he has a huge hand in both races. Add onto that Slate Man, El Fabiolo complementing them.

What did will say in his stable tour in October? Kilcruit Supreme and Sir Gerhard Ballymore

I think SG could win a Supreme, but do tend to agree with your logic....and i'm also not sure Dysart is an ideal Bally horse in running style

Exchanges just about suggest this too at moment

However, most likely this will be Willie Bingo right til Sunday night in March

The thing with ‘Willie Bingo’ is he normally does what he says he is going to do earlier in the season and too many people try to make up different things and make it harder for themselves and everyone else. This happens every year and the ‘Willie Bingo’ thing isn’t him doing it it’s others trying to have a different opinion like Ruby this year with GDC. We all know that his going the Brown Advisory in the end.

We just need to cut out the rubbish each year from certain people (and there’s a few on here trying to fuel it)

I'd be very interested in Three Stripe Life now in the Ballymore.
Mighty Potter - Supreme, Three Stripe Life - Ballymore, Ginto - Bartlett would be a decent hand for Gordon
