2022 Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle

[Carnage at Taunton]

Jack name checking the bartlett for Ginto '3m be no problem for him'

Don’t think it would be a problem for any of them.
Not sure I saw a Ballymore winner today put it that way but may have seen an AB winner.

Thought it wouldn't be so simple.
mentioned in my diary, I don't think it's a done deal Ballymore.
Depends what Gordon says, and the owners.
They should go ballymore as no other race to come that will be a better trial.
But may be ground dependent.

Ginto certainly weren't pulling away from 'stayers' there so a ballymore could well see him beaten by a quicker horse with plenty of speed.

Interesting to see what Gordons quotes are

"Jack (Kennedy) said he wasn’t doing a stroke the whole way. I think he’ll stay further, I think all he does is stay. We had to stretch them and if it turned into a sprint it wouldn’t have worked."

Well all in all, it’s still wide open.
Could be fun trying to get the winner of this, and be a nice price if can find it!!

Apologies, I meant that to be on the Ballymore tthread.

Whoever tipped him for the Albert Bartlett at 25/1, saying he'll beat Eric Bloodaxe at the weekend, then go on to beat his stablemate in the Lawlors on Naas, must be some judge jono Spectre

365 haven't got the cashout 'allowed' at the moment for GInto in this race...I think they're gonna have to assess that soon

Would you cash out your slips for this Kev? Scratching my head after that - not sure it’s been definitely settled…

They're scumbags, trying to hold everyones cash out expecting the ballymore to be the target when its now more likely the bartlett

No definitely wouldn't cash him for either race.

I see people are pleased with Hollow Games' run as a good run for this, I'd be worried because Ginto for me has just proved he's a better horse than him.... I wouldn't have Hollow Games shorter than him over 3 miles now.

Completely agree Kev, as a hollow games AB backer I was happy after the race, but connections might now think Ginto is made for AB, could even switch Hollow to Bally. God knows, I’m confused ha

Hollow Games in the Martin Pipe
Will be interesting to see what mark he gets!

[Rooster Booster]

My view for what it’s worth (likely almost nothing) is one of TSL or MP will step up to the Ballymore and both Ginto and HG will run in the AB.

Happy with both for the AB

Agree with this Kev, think hollow games could well be going to the pipe. I missed the race but did davy get stuck into him properly?

I think you have to give him his chance in a grade 1 3 mile race before you drop him to a handicap personally.
