      Seems a strange entry that one. Be surprised if they have him out again so quick. Hope cool survivor takes up one of his entries though.

        Gordon mentioned the Navan bumper as his next port of call which Sir G won last year. He loves spurious entries so i cannot see him taking these up so soon.

          American Mikes probably been entered to scare the non-Elliott opposition away, then he could get pulled out and let another of his entries run.

            I have always expected that but never see it ever get mentioned by the media. It is sort of bullying tactics if true but, for balance, I don't know if that's the case.

              It's often mentioned when speaking about WPM about how many entries he will have in a race etc. Gordon does similar and as long as the owners don't care about the wasted entry fees, then why not.

              I imagine some do though. Remember Ricci mentioning it before, and having been part of the dead Supreme Racing, it was certainly moaned about enough from there.

              • Think all these top trainers keep the hierarchy happy by making multiple entries to boost the Racing economy. After all, it's the owners that pay the fees, not the trainers. No skin off their noses. Helps boost the prize money as well which puts money back in their pockets.

                              ….thought it was reasonable considering it’s 40-1 CB & Ballymore.

                                Me too. He's by Mahler, so the Bartlett could come into question too. He obviously needs to win the bumper first anyway.
