Anyone know of any tipsters (other than Hugh Taylor) who’s selections always take big price cuts after they are put up? I’m sure there are plenty of them whose selections get trimmed now and then but any others who immediately get slashed like Taylor’s do?Comment

Tom Collins but they're all US tips and he has a pretty damn good ROI % so it's expectedOriginally posted by riccirich View PostComment

I love Absolute Notions. Think he will run a big race and improve again for a fence next seasonOriginally posted by Nevertoolate View PostComment

He’s been crying out for a further step up. Could be a lively one next season over 3m.Originally posted by OverTheLast View PostComment

Nusret in the juvenile hurdle looks good to me at 4's goes there fresh and hopefully Zenta skips in favour of Punchestown..?Originally posted by Nevertoolate View PostComment

"I think I'll run Found A Fifty in the two-mile Grade 1 novice hurdle. He's in good form and hasn't done much wrong this year. We think he's a good horse and one we're really excited about going novice chasing with next year.Originally posted by Exar Essay View Post
"Sire Du Berlais and Teahupoo will run in the Liverpool Hurdle. Sire Du Berlais turns up once or twice every year. He's a horse of a lifetime and we're proud of him. Absolute Notions will go for the novice hurdle over three miles, while Zanahiyrwill run in the Aintree Hurdle again. He seems to enjoy taking his time these days.
"Jazzy Matty is in good form and could run in the Grade 1 juvenile hurdle. I could have three or four in the bumper and a few others as well so the team is shaping up nicely.”

Ok I Am Maximus won but not a strong showing at Fairyhouse from the Cheltenham runners. It's usually a very muddy outcome year on year and as we've seen recently, exploited by Nicholls.
I'll stick with fresh horses that avoided the Festival.Comment

Did you not think Tenzing was about to challenge when he made that race ending error ?Originally posted by Irish Rugby View Post
Could have gone close….Comment

Aye, there's definitely a few suggestions that the Cheltenham runners were maybe less favoured.
The Mares Novice hurdle result highlights that. As much as the winner wasn't out of place. The next three home also skipped the festival and were 80/1, 66/1 and 20/1. Meanwhile the 9/2, 5/1 and 8/1 shots that ran at the festival were beaten out of sight. Maybe the mares novice as the festival was really poor but I'm inclined to think they were disadvantaged at Fairyhouse for having run at Cheltenham.
ADV, Hunters Yarn, Blood Destiny all beaten at relatively short prices after running at Cheltenham as well. Although none beaten too far, all were slightly disappointing imo.
And Flame Bearer beat a lot of more fancied (and better tbh) horses that were coming off the back of Cheltenham runs.
It probably needs a proper look like but my initial reaction was that Cheltenham runners had underperformed, slightly.Last edited by Benjy23; 11 April 2023, 09:33 AM.Comment
