    Crazy for a horse who's not even seen a track

      I remember Ballyadam being the same.

      • Obviously its short but I don't see the shock in it when Patrick & Willie tell you a horse who was 25/1 is their best bumper horse with their record in the race.

        Has to do it on the track but you can't really argue when people like that who are watching the horse everyday, similar from others around the Mullins stable are saying similar.

        The price fall is inevitable as bookies build up liabilities, the price has to tumble. Some people get shocked when they see prices tumbling but if money goes down its simple how bookies must react for their books.
        You kind of either get on board when it was 25,20,16 etc for periods or don't but its easy to moan when it reaches bottom price before the race then , its not like it opened 10/1

          • Perfect performance from a future superstar there

            • Ohhh he's special! Put some good quality horses away very nicely there. Nice to have both him and Mike in the book.

              • Aye, looked nice and simple that.

                • Thanks Patrick and Willie

                  Few proper horses in behind him there and too scoot away without Patrick touching him first time out was really good.

                  • I think we’re going to be seeing the red and blue silks looming ominously on the bridle around the home bend many, many times.

                    • Good to hear he was impressive

                      Won't be able to watch until later and look forward to it

                      Have American mike 16s and facile vega 20s so a strong position atm

                      • boooooom! Hope people got on at the 25s/20s here since I think some of us got it priced up before others knew about him

                        • Very impressive from FV and has gone some way in justifying the hype. Unless something special comes out in the new year from another yard I think we've seen the bumper winner already. A straight match between Willie and Gordon's best FV and AM much like Kilcruit vs Sir Gerhard last season before the yard change. High 120's RPR after putting the race to bed with little fuss a minimum surely. Nothing else in the betting that looks capable of troubling either, Pink in the Park while visually impressive back in October is not the one for me and looking at distances between The Big Doyen and Cool Survivor compared to FV he's not the one either, anyone on both AM and FV should be sitting pretty. Embassy gardens could be interesting tomorrow but again I'd be surprised to see him put up anything to trouble the top two. Not going to be seeing AM again before March but certainly couldn't have one over the other on what we've seen so far imo, both highly impressive horses.

                          • Good work re FV guys. No way would I have done him had he not been highlighted on here. I've now got the first 4 favs at decent prices so if I don't get the winner in March then there is something wrong !

                            • Hard not to be impressed by that today from Faclie Vega. Top work from those on here who highlighted him back when a price was available. Sitting very nicely on both FV and AM for this now

                              • RTV just saying Willie says Embassy Gardens they look at favourable over Facile Vega... and was the one he was most excited about today.

                                25/1 with 365.

                                Will take that, seems a better bet than FV - although he has got to win
