Hello Fat Jockeys,

Upgrading the Fat Jockey forum!: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/fatjockeyforum

    Our system is completely different to the system she knew when trained by Willie [Mullins], so part of the job with the horses who have joined us is getting them used to how we do things. She's a bit of a challenge but the most important thing is she looks fantastic. She beat Minella Indo over fences on her chasing debut but I believe she then bled twice. We gave her a wind op over the summer and in the last few weeks she's been coming along beautifully in her training alongside Politologue and Next Destination. We've had no problems with her and she's in a happy place after enjoying some schooling over hurdles and fences. The Ascot Hurdle on Saturday will be her first run for us. That's just a starting point and should guide us as to whether she then runs over hurdles or fences. The new mares' chase at the Cheltenham Festival could obviously be perfect for her.
    So if she’s shit at ascot she’s going to be shit over fences.
    but if she’s good at ascot she stays hurdling
    fucking brilliant

    • I think because of the time I got in to racing, I'll always hold Paul Nicholls in really high esteem.

      Him improving a mare from Willie Mullins though is beyond fathomable for my little brain.



      I'm on Laurina for the Mares Chase as I backed her at 33/1 before I knew she'd moved. I would have it incredibly short odds that Willie will not ALLOW Laurina to win that Mares Chase.

        Very hard to cure a bleeder

        • When did Laurina jump over to Nichols?

          Can't have her tbh. And even if she romped home her price would be rotten.

            He got a job lot from Mullins about 2 months ago when the owner fancied a change

              Ah yes thanks Jon, I should have put 2 and 2 together, sure I knew the likes of DDG and Stormy Island had already moved.

                I said something similar a while ago before Stormy Ireland ran. If either of them were fav for this Mullins would be bringing out the big guns. He had no problem putting her back over hurdles to stop Apples winning the mares hurdle a few years ago.

                Have already backed Laurina but very tempted to cash it out. Bled twice and no guarantee she will go back over fences. One more bad run and that cash out might not be there. Not to mention I think there is every chance BDD goes here. Salsaretta didn't exactly scream Mares chase winner at the weekend.

                  Remarkable race reading to work that out in a furlong.

                    I knew that was coming probably not my best choice of words. A fall is obviously not something you want to be seeing for a horse that is still best priced 8/1. She has still not put in any performance over fences that I can see that means she should be that price. She hasnt filled me with confidence anyway.....yet

                      I thought it was genius.
                      And hard to argue with.
                      If she carries on like that, she's got no chance.

                      • Managed to cash Laurina for minor loss thankfully.

                        She just isn’t the same horse, she may go chasing so can go back in upon entry but think I would rather just leave her now.

                        • Think they'll retire Laurina after that. Only fair thing to do.

                                Wouldn't back her with monopoly money

                                Has to be retired
