Supreme/Ballymore/Albert Bartlett - Novice Hurdles 2021

[Kevloaf]

He'd win either race. All depends now what Willies other options are for both races

Correct, IMO - and I've said it over and over again I think he'll be competitive wherever he goes.

There will be loads of questions and speculation.... but you've nailed it...depends what emerges.


Still, Ballymore still the most obvious for me...absolutely no chance over further he won't stay, similar to Envoi Allen, when he goes out a bit in trip he'll still be just as impressive, if not more impressive.


They don't NEED to go up in trip, but they've always said he's a stayer so I think they will. A beautiful mix of speed and stamina.

That was sensational. Mullins holds all the aces over Gordy. Question is what else Mullins has now. I feel that will determine where AI goes

Finally a novice hurdler that wowed me. As has been said, think he'll be fine in Supreme or Ballymore, though selfishly hoping for the latter, haha.

Remember Kev, you need a stayer to win the Supreme!!

[Morley Street]

Can’t see why Willie would step him up now, he’ll keep it simple IMO

Ballyadam out to 14's for the Supreme, this game is brutal!

[Can't Catch Me]

That has somehow made the Ferny Hollow news even harder to take

Sensational performance and the standout from a novice hurdler this season. Personally I think that's as good as Ballyadam is. Think he's run his race and AI just broke him. As has been said, will presumably all depend on what else Willie has, as to where he goes in March. Just got everything crossed its the Ballymore!

Yep, haven't been wowed like that since EA and Samcro in previous years. Both went Ballymore when they'd have hacked a Supreme so I'm hoping Appreciate It will follow suit He's a big sexy devil like them two as well!

Mullins says the supreme is the target, whatever that is worth

Mullins says the supreme is the target, whatever that is worth

"and they'll keep all the options open"



It's not like the Ballymore looks a hot renewal either.... does Willie not want to win that race

[Can't Catch Me]

FFS. that will be very tough to take!

[Magpie]

Not sure I would have any hope for Ballydam now, jumping has not improved and just looks as if not good enough. Like some, i have Appreciate It only for the Ballymore. Have cash out, but will have to.see what happens, any Mullins comments will.likely be unhelpfull!

Willie changing his mind mid interview, says the race closes all other doors other than Supreme, then says 30 secs later he'll keep all options open. Never change WPM

Potentially good news for Bob Olinger slips, that's about the only positive I can take from this

Positive thinking.
I like this silver lining!!

NRNB in the next fortnight. Got to be worth cashing out after then?
