Supreme/Ballymore/Albert Bartlett - Novice Hurdles 2021

[Jorvik]

Easy as you like for Bob Olinger there, scuffed the last couple of hurdles but that's nitpicking.

[Another Value Loser]

Ruby mentioned on the RTV broadcast that Bob O carried on past the line and a fair bit further on before Rachael could pull him up. Not sure what he's actually beaten then but good to hear he still had plenty left in the tank anyway

[Eggs]

If Bob wins impressively what price does he go. 10/1?? Just had my last bet on him at 16s.

....still 16-1 Ballymore with 365.

Yeah, I mean it looked fairly obvious, with no buttons pressed, was almost like a bit of work for him there, as it really should have been against that field.

It will be interesting when he has to go a clip, as so far both races he contested over hurdles have been at a tempo he has set, if he's able to do that in a Ballymore (highly unlikely) his ability to quicken up will probably be the difference between him and the others in the race.

All he could do was win today, and he obliged.

[PresentingPercy]

...best cover the Albert Bartlett then!!

[Saxon Warrior]

Ashdale Bob winning by a wide margin in a Grade 2 has bumped up Wide Receiver's form and handicap mark a bit.

Holymacapony travelled really well and to me it didn't look like Rachel Blackmore asked for anything from the horse as if she was looking after it. Something amiss and not one to throw the bet slips away on yet.

I'm still convinced Bob Olinger is an Albert Bartlett horse but what do I know?

[Pendil]

Ashdale Bob 14 seconds faster than Bob O. Still a nice schooling ride by Rachael

[Madmoose]

Wait for all the time judges to slag Bob all then! Was just a hack round for him at 1/8 no need to go quick or push him in that company, the 16/1 pre race for the Ballymore was huge.

[Jorvik]

Henry dB not giving much away about Bob Olinger, seems still to be weighing up idea of him being back out again in 3 weeks at Naas, maybe goes to the Dublin Festival, mentions there's a 2miler at Punchestown inbetween.

Says nothing obvious has come out of HolyMacAPony, Rachel says 'He was just gone', vets say nothing obvious.

[FinalFurlong91]

Surprised to see paddy go

5/4 appreciate it
4/1 ballyadam

For the 2 mile race over Christmas

Anyone seen anything to suggest ballyadam will go elsewhere

He has an entry in the lawlors of naas but when asked elliot mentioned other horses

"The Lawlor's of Naas Novice Hurdle has served us well over the last couple of years and we'll be doing our best to start the year on a high by winning it again so we have entered plenty of our nice novices," Elliott said on Friday.



"It's early days yet as a lot of the horses we have entered will have options over the Christmas period and we just need to weigh up our options and see what suits each horse. The Naas race could be one that suits a horse like Clondaw Secret and Fakiera is another horse going in the right direction and depending on how he gets on at Navan this might be an option for him. We'll be well represented anyway."
