      So basically ignoring trainer actually name checking the Turners for Kawa?

        Willie would have been told off for that.

          So a 3/1 split of Willies top 4 novices. If JP insists maybe the forum gets a last minute reprieve and Willie makes it 2/2 or even 2/1/1. I am not mentioning this in the novice hurdle thread and fwiw believe Kawa will run in the turners but accept if you are right about Kawa Willie will not want three of his top 4 in the same race. He has hamstrung himself with SM so he could well have bowled himself a googly here with all his post race comments and dogmatism. I wonder if JP is a little pissed right now with Willies post race ejaculaions.

            I'm not strong on where I think Kawaboomga will run, just think there's a chance he goes supreme and that what Willie said post race counts for very little.
            They'll run the horse where they want to and tell Willy so.

            Pretty sure all trainers of JP horses are generally told to be as tight lipped as possible, unless it's blatantly obvious.

            Like I mentioned, if JP was more impressed with Final Demand, then this may sway his choice somewhat, but he might not have been.

              Hopefully those 9 Grade 1s will thin out, now we know most of the form we are going to see is exposed and out there.

              Good bump on this key date Eggs

                Understood. My language was lazy as I realised you were open minded with regards his destination. I do think Willie has somewhat backed himself into a corner . Be fascinating to see where Kawa ends up.

                • I'm still praying they broke down like this

                  Kel Histoire, Kaid D'Authie Supreme
                  Kopek Des Bordes Turners
                  Final Demand Albert Bartlett

                  This would be perfect for my antepost bets. Really worried as Wullie keeps saying KDB is going Supreme though. I can't be certain but I seem to.remember him giving a bum steer last year and hope it defo is this year.

                      Personally I think the only way Kopek goes Turners now is if Final Demand picks up an injury and even then I wouldn't be certain that it would happen.

                      • I seem remember I'd read Final Demand was intended to run at the Albert Bartlett before he ran last time. One can only hope

                            I think you can write off any hope of final demand to the bartlett. Willie has said turners, owners have said turners and have two other horses for bartlett. Only person who would want him in the bartlett is townend, and I don't think that's important enough for trainer and owner to change their mind. And it's not as if there's a huge fave in the bartlett that could have a setback and lead to final demand switching race.

                            Kopek to turners I'd still say there's a chance though, but I think you really need final demand to miss cheltenham and leave the turners looking easier to win on paper than the supreme. Even at that I'm not sure he'd switch, as he's now the number one supreme hope and can be keen.
