Some performance that. Apparently already sold.

…..’Teeshan, remember the name’.

Teeshan is a 2019 gelding , will he be too old for the 2025 champion bumper , i've lost track of the new rules

I don't know the scaling of how high the RPR is but he got 97 which is the biggest I've seen.

Same as Jonbon. With her allowance Qualimita was 1lb better though!

Zachx02 No idea and I doubt we'll know for some time as tends to be the case with private sales.

He would still qualify, but you are right, he's more likely to be out in a bumper this year and go novice hurdling next year.

Hello Kev,

It’s only taken me 7 1/2 months to reply - sorry about that, and for my general lack of engagement over the last couple of years.

Having become disenchanted with restrictions and account issues I decided to take some time out from the ante post game - also moved house, work went through a crazy spell etc, you know how it is. My ‘sabbatical’ has lasted much longer than I anticipated and I’m now at crunch time in deciding whether to make a proper go of it again for 2024.

Anyway, I’m thrilled to see this place is still thriving and I hope you’re all behaving yourselves. Even if I don’t get properly stuck in again this year I will make more effort to show my face around here more than once every 7 1/2 months… I do kinda miss you all!

Cheers

Ah bless you.....can definitely relate though!

Without access to a 365 account I'm not sure I'd continue now either ... but getting back in the swing this week - join me

Can Aurora Vega run in the Champion Bumper as will be 6yo come the fest?

Can Aurora Vega run in the Champion Bumper as will be 6yo come the fest?

If it runs at the DRF as planned i could be wrong but it might of had too many runs to be eligible for the Champion Bumper.

Someone can correct me but i think that’s the situation?

Can Aurora Vega run in the Champion Bumper as will be 6yo come the fest?

The answer is Yes. The 6yo rule is after season end. She would have to go straight to the Champion Bumper though as it'll be her 4th run. More likely to stay in Ireland this season.

Cheers me West Country Cousin. Been hovering me finger over the double boost on her. Thinks i will pass.

Dont seem right to me that you could have the winner of the DRF Bumper not turning up for the Champion Bumper in March. Wouldnt a case for win and your in be a better option?
