2022 Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle

[ComplyOrDie]

Chap on Twitter who is at the preview night says they are strongly considering the switch but Hollow Games goes to the Pipe.

Love this news

Yeah he usually is tbf..

But Elliot was literally quoted saying “Ginto definitely goes Ballymore” only the other day. Benjy provided the RP article with the direct quote.

Circumstances have changed today with Crooner out. It happens.

I'm not keen on it but it was inevitable with Ginto switching. JWM does look to have a seriously good chance in the Ballymore now though so a big Silver Lining there.

Minella Crooner news today has probably changed his thinking

Clicked on the guys profile who claims hollow games goes martin pipe and ginto possibly bartlett, he claims in his tweet he is at the preview night, but then tweeted fifteen minutes later how incredible real madrids comeback was against psg?

maybe its nothing but he's hardly watching a football match on his phone while in the audience at a preview that he payed to attend? I suppose he could be just checking the scores but thought it was worth flagging for anyone taking the news as 100% true.

I just want the festival to start now cos the fact that I'm even thinking about this nonsense is winding me up at this point

Yeah I've not seen an actual quote yet. I'll wait for confirmation yet. Either Moran horse is in with a chance in the spud race.

I know circumstances change but that’s piss poor from Elliott to say what he did 2 days ago then switch him

[Leman14]

I’m not sure I agree.

In the two weeks before the festival, there are so many preview nights.

Most trainers, jockeys, pundits contradict themselves on the circuit, but in this instance - Elliott has genuine reason to change his response.

It happens every year though. Not just Elliott & Mullins but when horses have multiple entries & circumstances change, horses get re-routed. If Allaho picks up a stone bruise before decs, Energ or CPS would switch. You can’t have all the hype & previews without a few late switches. He’s never said 100% guaranteed & whilst they have an entry anything’s always possible

[Quevega]

Yeah, big debates on here regularly about Mullins, with people moaning, but Elliott's good guy image for telling punters which targets they are definitely going for has struck again.
I know what I prefer.
He may end up with about 5 horses going for different races than he's stated previously with conviction.

Because fucking things change right till the last minute and he can't read or write.

Exactly… we are quick to have a go at trainers for not committing to the races they are going for, but equally as quick when they do and plans change. This is probably why they don’t like to commit in the first place as there’s too many unknown variables

Whilst I agree, the word definitely to me means that it’s happening. It’s his choice of words that’s annoying just say he most likely goes or something along those lines.
