  • Didn't see any action or footage today but did see a clip when Lydia asked him the other night Min or Allaho and without any hesitation he said Min!

      That doesn’t surprise me one bit. Ruby will always go with the tried & tested proven champ but Townend will hopefully have a real dilemma on his hands this year,

      Allaho & Minella Indo went a right good gallop in the RSA so I don’t envisage him struggling to keep tabs on Min & Co. In the Ryanair especially if the field is a bit bigger as is looking likely.

        Min - supreme, champ chase pace
        Allaho - Potato, RSA pace

        Lets see whether Allaho has the pace for the Ryanair with the likes of Min, who is a quicker horse

          At 10 he isn’t getting any quicker tho is he, I still really like him & rate him but willing to take him on this year with a younger improving type that’s unexpsosed over the trip!

            What if you need stamina to win this Ryanair?

            Why is a 2m5f race all about pace now?

            • Ruby immediately said Min the other night, then immediately after that made a joke that he'd be fresher because Allaho had only just run.

              The question was phrased as if the race was tomorrow who would you ride.

              Think it's better for context.

              • It's a pointless speculation this far out. The question will be left open until declaration time.

                In the meantime, PT will ride as many winners as possible in Ireland to try and retain his championship rather than plan ahead for Cheltenham.

                  And you'd want him on Melon for a start wouldn't you ?

                    Why is it all about stamina? Wont know how the Ryanair will be ran until we see final dec, conditions, front runners etc

                    However, you have two horses who like to run from the front. One is quicker than the other, and is proven over this trip. Rather side with the one which can handle the early pace of the race.

                    • Min did almost get outstayed by saint calvados last year

                      Had he winged the last every chance the result would've been different

                      If min cant shake off allaho early and get him out of a rhythm and hes within a length or two turning for home my money is on allaho finding more up the hill

                      A fascinating race

                        I think MrFisher won’t be far off the pace, may even make it

                        • Rachel Blackmore rides Janidil for Willie on Sunday.

                          Townend is on Monkfish
                          PAtrick on Asterion
                          Mark Walsh has obviously picked Andy Dufresne....


                          So Willie's 3rd choice is Rachel Blackmore, on a JP horse too?


                          I'd say that indicates IF he has a spare ride, and she doesn't have a ride...she's moved into a pretty nice position.


                          She may well end up on Min or Allaho in this race?

                            Think she'd be a good match for Allaho. Get out in front into a lovely rhythm and keep squeezing in order to empty Min. I like that.

                            • She's certainly a positive on any horse... definitely up there with Paul, Davy and Jack IMO.

                              Not sure which UK jockeys would get in that group... Dickie, Cobden, Jonjo...all the step below?
