Fat Jockey Podcasts - Longshots - Ep 5

[Many Clouds]

Really looking forward to giving this a watch tomorrow sat round pool in tenerife before going out for the racing and football. Scared iv missed some of the prices on the talking horses of the forum this past week though been hard to keep up, anything I need to get on? Usually follow the crowd so I don't get fomo.

I'm afraid that I haven't had time to catch up with the various podcasts yet, but will find some time to do this over the weekend - I've got to say that they're a great idea, and fair play to all involved for having a) the vision and b) the guts to make it happen,

I saw that Nickle Back was in the vote in the latest one, and thought that some of you might be interested that I sent the trainer an email a few days ago to see if he's likely to be running again soon, as I'd seen that he'd previously been entered at Cheltenham and Plumpton but not declared, and wondered if she was able to share whether this was due to any setback, or the unseasonably firm ground. Sarah was good enough to come back to me and say that it was purely down to not wanting to risk him at this stage on faster ground, and that he was likely to be seen again around Christmas.

Hope this is of some reassurance to those looking for an entry, and I'll also pop this on the Ballymore thread.

Great Video this lads the analysis is unmatched, can see this format being very successful in the podcast/ video market as you guys give a unique perspective on selections with in depth reasonings. And hats off to the long shots provided as all views were explained very well for ‘unconsidered’ horses for the season. Hoping the prices last for the FJ forum also

Saxon Warrior , thanks for your post yesterday. You were absolutely right about connections hoping for a Christmas entry for Nickle Back, let's just hope it's not the Challow - if he gets entered in that the aim would have to be getting beaten by a nose, as the stats on winners of that following up in the Ballymore are shocking!

No problem Block 205 you were so effusive on your thoughts about Nickle Back that it stuck in my mind, as well as others.

Great spot, and well done on your investigative work, and the trainers search for softer ground conditions.

Its a terrible race, with last years prize money a disgrace for a Grade 1 (I think the prize pot its better this year)

Late to the party here, some excellent cases made by all, well done.
Edwardstone, who is still 33/1, not been picked up by anyone so I’ll throw him in there before he runs in the Henry VIII today…

[Gloria Victis]

Enjoyed watching last night, thank you. I forgot to add Ontheropes when I voted so he has another one in the poll.

"He had no race here the last day, but what I loved today was what he did from the second-last to the line. He just galloped.

"He's a good horse and he's a chaser in the making. We'll see where we go next but he'll get an entry in the Grade 1 Lawlor's Novice Hurdle at Naas next month."





As I said on the video, I thought that it may be that he is aimed at the Naas race..... so nice to hear that name checked!

I just watched his Racing TV interview and he mentioned that maybe Hollow Games for Naas as he is a bit quicker, and possibly find something else for Ginto.

He mentioned Christmas, but it may come too soon - I took that to mean the 2M7F Grade 2 at Limerick may be in his mind if the horse takes todays race well.

Gordon has a good hand on these staying novices at the moment, these two will be well supported wherever their next race is.
