  • Henry not shirking the challange on RTV

    Gary O'Brien asked him how he felt about it. (Galopin Des Champs taking on Bob Olinger)

    "It's all about the best taking on the best."



    No doubt that gets clipped up pretty soon!

          Good Lad.

          He knows he's got a brilliant horse.

          No need to move for anyone.

              He’s playing it very straight, if he really is trying it on.

                    To be fair I was sure Willie was spoofing Nicky ref Energumine taking in Shishkin earlier this year, but he shipped him over.
                    Maybe just to get a line on Shish for CPS….

                    • Bob back into fav for here now on the machine, small draft for GDC which mirrors his slight strengthening in the BANC market.
                      Looks like typical traders though before we get too excited….

                        Yes I suspect there was a little bit of trainer form concern baked into bobs price which has now lifted somewhat.

                          • If the going is on the good side I can see GDC going back up in trip, very likely that Bob will have too much speed for him. Not sure why you would look to take on Bob when you don't need to.

                            • From the vibes that Mikey Fogarty and Dave Mullins give off regarding Jungle Boogie on the preview night, it didn't sound likely that he was going to be coming across, whether that be here or the RSA. Link below is the preview, starts talking about him at 2:45:20

                              • …..a point repeatedly made by Dave Jennings at PP Preview Night regarding the GDC target is the Turners distance.

                                The Turners is run over less than 2m 4f, it’s actually 2m 3f+. The Martin Pipe was further for GDC last year, and he then stepped up to win over 3m at Punchestown.

                                Both GDC runs this season have been 2m 5F or above, so the Turners is a fair drop back in distance. From what I can see, you have to go back to its days in France for the only time GDC has won a race under 2m 4F.
