Dark horses for Cheltenham 2021

[jack1092]

There are other places?


Cheers Jack.



It might be a good idea for us to go back and check all of Gordon's handicap runners and check what races they started in actually.

Note to self. Do that

Haha Kev, twitter!

4yo as well- this is what i have from a ptp guy who buys and sells:


1.Indigo Breeze 4 year old bay gelding by Martaline X Miss Poutine

My top horse from the UK point to point season and the second in the list from the yard of Gearoid Costello.

A 90k store out of a black type dam and half brother to the ill fated Brindisi breeze.

Another horse to have run and won at Alnwick this time in a 2m point to point bumper in March.

Ridden by mens national champion Jack Andrews he made all the running and won as he liked by 21 lengths. He was value for so much more and given his breeding and debut must be considered to be a potential top class horse.

He was entered at the sales but was led out unsold at 140k.

Where ever he runs next all eyes should be on this potentially top class animal.

Interesting he was trained to win his English pt by Costelloe and is now in his ownership with Elliot....

I asked B365 for a price on Indigo Breeze for the champion bumper, they've put him up at 33/1

First reserve tomorrow at Thurles and entered at Galway on Sat.

That didn't last long, 2/1 now

Indigo Breeze has been spoken about quite a bit in other places, and is 1st reserve tomorrow at Thurles. Bosses Oscar won it last year. English point winner. Probably not a dark horse, but interesting to see how he goes.

If he don't end up a star i reckon Alex will deactivate his account lol

lol yep! I took a little 3s anyway. It'll be interesting to see if he follows TBO's campaign.

Thanks Jack took the 3/1 and 33/1 for the Cheltenham Bumper

[Jorvik]

Nice and comfortable there, well in to anyone who got on at 3's!

33/1 into 25/1 for the Champ Bumper.

Well done Jack

33/1 into 25/1 for the Champ Bumper.

Might be worth noting here the point Saxon Warrior made, that it's the same race The Bosses Oscar won last year before ending up in the Martin Pipe...

[Pendil]

Presumably up for sale and new owners likely to be involved in what route to take

Wouldn't be a shock to see him in the same colours as TBO next time...

Gordon probably already has that sorted.

I have no actual word on this or anything, but Calthor in second race Galway tomorrow feels to me like he could be a Cromwell replacement for Espor D'allen. Complete guess obviously, but he's doing so well as a trainer i wouldn't be surprised if JP fires him one a decent one again.

6/5 with PP, 6/1 with 365 lads.

From last year's dossier Jono kindly supplies.


Calthor: Ellen Holden (Califet)
A 42,000 2018 Land Rover sale store: a half-brother to dual UK bumper winner Black Kalanisi: a lanky leggy unfurnished bay gelding. Strongly fancied for his point debut at Ballynoe(g): he was poised to mount his challenge when he fell at the 5th last fence. Derek O Connor retained the ride for the next start at Ballysteen(y), a race won famously in the past by Faugheen. Derek rode with supreme confidence: electing to educate his charge out the rear for the first half of the race and then making headway from 5 out to lead at the 3rd last and emphatically draw away in the manner of a talented horse to post a ten lengths win. Certainly an above average youngster, he has a touch of class and should win a bumper and can be competitive at graded level over hurdles and has aspirations of a life as a 140+ chaser and enjoy some chunky pay days during his track career. Handles good and soft ground and could prove effective from 2m2f to 3 miles plus.
