2022 Champion Bumper

[On The Fringe]

Facile Vega declared for the Leopardstown bumper on 26th

"He’s the second foal out of Quevega and a fine looking horse. He is one who shows himself off at home and if he can bring his homework to the track he will run a very big race." - Willie Mullins on Facile Vega in his Sporting Life column

FV bumper looks tough test on debut!!

The chances of Quevega foaling a horse good enough to win a Cheltenham Festival race are so small.

12/1 best price now for the Bumper.

I'd probably take 12/1 on her to 'ever foal a festival winner', but I'm not sure that'd be good value either

Classic Getaway is entered up in 2 hurdle races
however, I do not see an entry for Grangeclare West
I am hoping he is been held back for this
Hopefully not an injury

You’d have thought they would have entered him in some bumpers if they were thinking that.

To me I think he’s probably got some sort of injury unfortunately

The chances of any horse foaling one good enough are smaller though! [not a statement on the price]

You wouldn't have a clue how to birth a horse. No amount of wikipedia or youtube is gonna help you.

Obviously I will now be looking into it.
how to do it - of course
as I’ll never get round to doing it.
once hatched a chick though

[Quevega]

Turns out it’s mainly just observing
I can handle that

I could well imagine unless the sire’s name is/was Galileo, you’d get 12/1 and the rest on any horse siring a Cheltenham festival winner/ Grade 1 on the flat……!!

Walk in the park
quevega sired by
robin des champs

It’s a certainty

Backed very much Quevega a month back.

I wasn’t suggesting his value, more so it’s probable double figures that any sire father’s a festival winner - there’s an awful lot of sires and an awful lot of foals born every year who don’t even make it to ‘maiden hurdle’ stage.

Sholokhov is the sire I always like to keep any eye on going forwards - progeny including Shishkin & Bob Olinger might mean level stakes profits going forwards on foals born from this gent potentially.
