I know we generally hear about the good punting but I've genuinely not had a worse days punting for as long as I can remember
It was one of them days that I question everything about how I approach horse racing and if I should even bother!
I might sign off until Cheltenham and then just after time the s**t out of it, thats how bitter I'm feeling about the day
Anyway, I hope you all had better days than me, it wouldn't be hard to
On to Naas tomorrow
Just catching up now and to those that replied to this, you've mostly made me feel a bit better except Lobos for gloating about Love Envoi & Tahmuras I'm only messing, well in
I feel I was just having one of them days. It was busy enough anyway, so I was struggling to keep tabs on the racing, to then watch them all go to s**t was frustratingly painful. Literally everything I backed lost
I would say it was nice to see I'm not alone but I'd much prefer you all to be winning tbh. I hope a lot of those who have been in bad form manage to turn it around, even more so as we head towards the festival itself
Gordon Elliott fears stable jockey Jack Kennedy will be out of action for the "foreseeable future" after suffering a leg injury in a fall at Naas on Sunday.
Admittedly not got the knowledge of die hard/veteran racing fans and I know this lad started early but has any jockeys had such a bashing in their first 5 years of pro riding? He seems to get a bad injury every season with a couple of side lines to boot
I see Gordon Elliott has posted this morning a photo of Jack Kennedy at Naas so fingers crossed it is not as bad as first feared!
On crutches obviously and has a cast on his right leg. Hopefully a speedy recovery!
Great to see him out for sure, you’d be thinking 2 months at best to be back firing on a broken leg… Think Gordon said it was the lower part of his leg yesterday?
He did the upper thigh on the same side at leopardstown and he was out for 6 or 7 months which is obviously much worse to break.
Fingers crossed for the lad but wouldn’t hold my breath he’ll be riding Gordons at Cheltenham.. unless the injury is not as bad as I am guessing
Will depend how serious a fracture it is. He's got 10 weeks. I've known some to be playing football again in 7-8 weeks for non-severe fractures, and also probably against the doctors advice mind
Jack Kennedy looks set for a prolonged spell on the sidelines following confirmation he suffered a fractured leg in a fall at Naas on Sunday.
Depends on which bone it is. Fibula is relatively trivial and probably only 4 to 6 weeks in plaster. The tibia is more serious and would probably need surgical intervention.
Cheveley Park Stud director Richard Thompson insists he would be “very comfortable” if A Plus Tard were to defend his Cheltenham Gold Cup crown without the aid of another run.Henry de Bromhead’s charge was a brilliant winner of the Prestbury Park blue riband last season, but little has gone right for him since.The nine-year-old was
