Nice to see one of Spectre's tips come in!!

Ginto entered in the Jaguar at Limerick.
seems a pretty big pointer at this stage.

You would think so, wouldn't you? Particularly when you consider Ginto has a 5lb penalty and Hollow Games would have had 'only a 3lb penalty and the latter has had a longer break. It seems like Elliott is pretty committed to the Lawlors for Hollow Games.

I’m going to have to think about getting Ginto onside as a cover for Hollow Games.

Fabulous news

I’d hazard a guess we’ll see Ginto at Limerick for the race Farouk won last year & Hollow Games at Naas, I know Hollow Games has the better form in the book but I’d have Ginto as slight preference for this race & there might be a bit of value in his price currently!

Sorry if this has been covered here already I haven’t been keeping up to speed of late!

The 14/1 still available seems very fair!

Gordon said yesterday Ginto not sure to run at Limerick and could join Hollow Games at Naas which surprised me.

if declared for Limerick i will back for the AB

JWM into 7.2 on the machine for this and out to 17 for the Ballymore.

Maybe the yard have made their mind up…

Lowest matched is 10s, and it's not taken much money but someone obviously feels he's heading this way.

I'd be inclined to agree based on the races he gets entered in. Don't see (m)any 2m entries appear for him, which I'd like a Ballymore horse to start at. 2m 4f debut over hurdles must traditionally be an Bartlett approach?... But could just be because it's a bit later in the season than usual I guess.

Also on breeding he's by Mahler which who produces more stayers than speedsters

It’s pretty much already been said he’s coming here. Maiden hurdle then what was the Mercedes Benz 3m Grade 2/3, obviously ground permitted etc.

Exact same route as Minella Indo it looks like which bodes well imo. The Bartlett is almost changing the perception we have on the race in needing hardened, experienced hurdlers imo. Don’t get me wrong they will still have their place, but MI ran here off 2 runs and won it, Allaho had one before finishing third as well. Monkfish and Thyme Hill had 3 (which I’d say is sort of standard pre-Cheltenham). JWM looks like having 2 and coming here as well.

I’m just waiting on entries for the 2m7f race at Limerick before backing Ginto. I fancy Hollow game for this more than Ginto, but that entry says different form Elliott. I think Dysart Dynamo beats Hollow Games in the Lawlors too. Be interesting over the next 2/3 days when decs are made for Xmas races.

They’ll have to fucking run him first

Has mahler had a festival winner yet?
