    Not picky at all, and so I did, thanks for pointing that out

      Good spot and fair enough, but I think it's worth noting that DDS beat Politilogue 18L second time out, but had to battle and fight on seasonal reappearance when in receipt of 3lbs to win. This is why what DDS does next is so important to his season, all IMO of course

        As PN now realises Politologue needs breaks between races and 20 days between Schloer and TC in 2019 didnt work for him. Anyway just a correction

            Really Bonjers do you have back up for that?

              PN has said it multiple times this week but it's also below.

                • Thanks Eirman and Bonjers, just as well I didn't know or I wouldn't have backed him in the Tingle Creek. Bleeders rarely go on so he is one of the exceptions

                    He had won a QMCC since then, so maybe you would have let it slide?


                    There aren't any accurate records on bleeders and how they perform afterwards are there?

                    That'd be really useful!

                      Not that I know of. Its just a general rule I have for myself and its paid off

                        Stuart Akister (@StuartAkister) asked "Does he still think Samcro can be a Ryanair horse?"

                        I definitely do, Stuart. We've learned over the last year or two that ground is just so important to Samcro and he's a much better horse on good ground. If it were to come to up good at the Cheltenham Festival, I would definitely fancy to win there again. I certainly wouldn't mind riding him!

                          I don't buy into that at all, not only does his record challenge that theory but I went on walkabout for the Marsh last season and found myself covering most of the racecourse and it was gluey soft ground pretty much everywhere...

                              It’s just a completely odd statement that was given BN, Samcro is 0-3 on ground with good or yielding in the description in the past two years, he won 2 races on such ground (a bumper and a maiden hurdle I think) 3+ years ago....

                                Yeah I dont buy it either

                                Yes he doesnt want a bog like it was when faugheen beat him easily but he's fine on soft ground

                                There is loads of racecourse evidence to back that up
