  • The Nice Guy is ineligible for the CB for those thinking about backing him. He will be 7 in a few days

      Once he runs in a hurdle race he can’t come here

      • RPR's after their respective races:
        Facile Vega - 126
        Embassy Gardens - 118
        ​​​​Redemption Day - 122

        Sound about right? Or would people have it different?

          I’d agree with the gapping between each performance. Embassy Gardens was very green so I’d be hopeful he’d show some decent improvement next time out.

            Simon Rowlands gave FV a good time figure and the other two not so much.

            • Embassy Gardens was the least impressive for me. Very taken by both Facile Vega and Redemption Day.
              However Willie has mentioned them as a group several times across the last few days.
              And it doesn't sound like there is a huge gap between them all.

              • I'm pretty sure Redemption Day wasn't priced up for this before his race , 8-1 a bit skinny for me now .
                But as i got American Mike and Facile Vega at good prices , i might add Redemption Day as well .

                  Was also intriguing to note, Patrick said it would be a hard choice to choose between the 2 of them when they match off against eachother, so they obviously think plenty about both.

                    Can't remember who but think some got 20s, possibly 25s before the race? Unless I'm getting mixed up! I took him at 10s. And imo would be wise to have him to cover AM and FV.

                      Was available for a good amount of time post race at 20s also.

                        He also said when comparing the two:

                        Redemption Day - A lot sharper, quicker, speedier type
                        Facile Vega - Bigger more long term type

                          So maybe RD more Punchestown and FV Cheltenham?

                          • Ruby commented on a podcast last night when asked "out of all the 4 Leopardstown Bumper winners who would you like best?"

                            He said
                            "Before they all raced, Redemption Day, based on what he does at home"

                            "After they all raced, it would have to be Facile Vega, based what he did on the racecourse, he was the most impressive"

                            He said he would always prefer the one that saved their best for the track, compared to the one working better at home.

                            So that's why he now would pick Facile Vega.

                              And this now contradicts the noises coming out of Closutton hence the price collapses of Facile Vega before running.

                              Sure WPM said something along the lines of, “he’d take your hat off on the gallops”
