Beacon edge 50-1 ew looks a real play here now with likely horrible sticky ground

YEs, agreed. It's a Saxon Warrior race planning race too. I'm playing the BFSP odds on him.

[Exar Essay]

I'm convinced Jigoro was all but in reverse against Tullyhill and 141 is a good mark (a mark Gordon knew before the run). So he'll be my play along with Beacon Edge.

Lovely.....skeltons showing just what can be achieved...

[JackieMoon33]

Part of me is glad for the Irish novices to get beaten but then it’s shocking that Langer Dan was able to get back off the same mark

[TigerRolllllll]

Not good for racing ….was fair bit of booing on course

[FinalFurlong91]

Langer dan may just be my favourite horse in training

Record when trying

1st imperial cup
2nd to best horse in training in Martin pipe
Brought down in pipe
1st Aintree
1st coral cup
1st coral cup

Won me a huge amount of money over the last 3 seasons

And the best thing is the way he is campaigned pisses people off

They all do it, difference is skelton gets him to win every time, just back him and stop whinging (yes im looking at you the LTR podcast lads)

[DenmanSacre]

You've just got to applaud the audacity of it. Handicappers surely can't let him do it again.

Yeah fair play. But I agree surely his last win in a handicap anyway at the fez haha

Andrew Blair White wouldn't be saying anything if it was a paul nolan

[ComplyOrDie]

I absolutely love it!

People moan when Constitution Hill isn't seen during the season, but Langer Dan running in winter ground, that he hates, to get his mark down is also not OK to some. Make up your minds.

You either want to see horses run or you don't.

Yup

I posted as much on one of their videos

Was along the lines of

Skelton plots a horse, this is a disgrace
Irish trainer plots a horse, go on ya good thing

Just plain old hypocrisy

This is the system, until the stewards/bha stop it from happening the handicapper has no choice but to drop a horse like langer dan when he finishes last

they all abuse it

this one is just more high profile because he wins so often

the people booing the horse need to give their heads a wobble.

The handicapper has no choice but to drop him, they are just doing their job

Until the stewards grow some balls over these winter non triers on both sides of the irish sea nothing will change.

But what can they realistically do? This is just part of the sport.

Nor much of the Irish if Willie done it, in fact he has done, plenty. Saint Roi being an obvious one running over 2m3f in a bog he didn't like, then turning up to win the County off a low mark.
