Once he runs in a hurdle race he can’t come hereOriginally posted by callhimgamblor View PostComment

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.Originally posted by SamuelP View PostComment

Simon Rowlands gave FV a good time figure and the other two not so much.Originally posted by SamuelP View PostComment

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.Comment

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 .Comment

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.Originally posted by BigChaang View PostComment

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.Originally posted by BigChaang View PostComment

Was available for a good amount of time post race at 20s also.Originally posted by Big Bucks View PostComment

He also said when comparing the two:Originally posted by darlojim View Post
Redemption Day - A lot sharper, quicker, speedier type
Facile Vega - Bigger more long term type

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.Last edited by Saxon Warrior; 31 December 2021, 02:47 PM."Journeys to Glory, breathing in his head".Comment

And this now contradicts the noises coming out of Closutton hence the price collapses of Facile Vega before running.Originally posted by Saxon Warrior View Post
Sure WPM said something along the lines of, “he’d take your hat off on the gallops”Comment

Think he said 'he'd take your eye out'.......... whatever that means
