Just as easy taking the 16s any race with Hills for Ngolo?

Suppose it depends if you have cashout mate? Id rather back both races at bigger prices and cash out the one I don't need.

The way to go surely. Could go 1 of 6 routes !

Grade 3 winner and placed in a Grade 1 already. They will surely be aiming higher than the handicaps? Seems the type to just keep improving.

I’d say he’d be running in one of the novice hurdles as Ricci doesn’t have a wealth of talent this season as it stands.

I could give you multiple examples of horses running in the wrong races this weekend Lobos. Trainers too often look for the next opportunity rather than the best opportunity, and plenty have no idea how to manage a mark or a career. Sometimes that includes big name trainers.

I'll give you just one example of that this weekend. Cask Mate will run in the Royal Bond at the weekend. He's second favourite and will run like a second favourite. He currently has a mark that with UK handicapper tax would probably have him going close in the Coral Cup or the Martin Pipe, but irrespective of his race tomorrow, long before that Noel Meade will blow his mark in another egg and spoon novice hurdle, and the horse will end up in no mans land. Because of time off he's 7 rising 8 next Festival and he'll have nowhere to go.

I hope I'm proven wrong, but I won't be.

I used Cask Mate to illustrate my point Lobos, and that’s exactly as it panned out. Are you still convinced Trainers always know better than we do?

Defi-night-ly was Gordon’s response when Gary O’Brien questioned if the Supreme was the target for Ballyadam.

Excellent. Do you have the exact quote?

Fantastic, thank you pal. From 1.43 onwards for those that are interested. Language:

GOB: And a supreme novice looks the race for him further down the line
GE: Definitely.

Of course they do. You only have to read the stuff on here to see majority of bets are placed on the back of trainers comments about their horses. Punters would be pretty clueless without their input.

[Altior]

Interesting that. I'll hold onto my just placed Ballymore bet but that's good to hear. They may well just clash himself and Ferny in March although I'd love a rematch with Appreciate It in the Ballymore.

Ballyadams win today given a lower RPR than Ferny hollows maiden

[Nortons who]

Who else finds it surprising that GE is indicating that Ballyadam will be aimed at the Supreme? Will Chevely Park really want Ferny Hollow and Ballyadam to be taking each other on in the Supreme or does this mean that FH is Ballymore bound? Finding it difficult to make sense of this post race comment currently.

I'm of the opinion Ferny Hollow will end up being a staying chaser. I would imagine he'll be aimed at the Ballymore this term but I also wouldnt be surprised to see him step up in trip in the Bartletts.

Youd imagine Willie would want to split him up from Appreciate It. It's all a little confusing at the moment but I just have a feeling he sees Ferny as more of a staying type
