  • With the money piling into another Willie Novice Hurdler in the Pipe I can see Langer Dan going the Coral Cup route this time. Skelton must be sick to the teeth of Mullins Novices and the 10lb LD currently has to give to Spanish Harlem might just push him over the edge .

      Who would ride Langer Dan in the Pipe anyway.
      Not sure if Lorcan Williams is still a conditional but he's banned anyway.
      So maybe the Coral cup is more likely with his brother riding.
      They seemed to really want Lorcan riding previously

        Not sure Gary Moore will have anything high enough to get in so perhaps Niall Houlihan? He’ll get snapped up by one of the fancied runners that’s for sure.

                    Cheers for translating. Sounded nothing like that to me. I even played it back to my son and he said the same as me !

                    • I could be wide of the mark here but I'm not sure Willie would ever describe one as 'one hell of a bet' would he?

                      Probably be an antepost non runner if he did mind

                          Nope. I'm pretending to work so can't put any sound on. It would just seem fairly out of character things to say, in my head. Is he the big betting type?

                            That the Irish racing video? Jesus quality was cat

                            pretty sure they repeated the champion hurdle segment at the start and half way through

                            • I’m Irish, and it’s 100% “one to look out for”, he just fumbled his words slightly while saying it.

                              • 'He's one to look out for'.

                                Willie has a very easy to understand Irish accent. He's not Mick Winters, or for that matter, Charles Byrnes, both I suspect may be a little difficult for British ears to pick up every word!!

                                If the 'gamble' is on the basis of that comment alone, I'd have to laugh. It tells us nothing, and is a very anodyne statement. Yes, Willie is god, but he's not infallible.
