  • In what world does the impressive winner of the most important (by a margin) triumph trial go and run in the Fred winter. Gordon should have at least 2 that will have more up their sleeve with their Mark than he will have after winning 3 on the bounce. Going to the boodles would be a grave, stupid mistake IMO and I’m sure Gordon’s more sense than that. And I’d hope chevely park would put their foot down and tell him there’s no chance if not.

    Ive been wrong before, but I can’t wait for this silliness to be put to bed.

      The clue was in this post earlier for those that read it properly earlier Toni. I think pretty much everyone missed exactly what it was saying. #394
      Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.

        I’ll get it wrong for the sake of others ... are you suggesting that the weight he’ll be carrying (with a claimer onboard) would be analogous to the previous 2 winners?

          Serious confidence in Jordan Gainford for the festival this season. Probably end up on TBO as well.

          • Maybe Quilixios could end up in the Boodles, to give Chevely Park the opportunity to have a winner each day of the Festival. Q on Tuesday, Sir G on Wednesday, EA on Thursday and APT on Friday.

              Yes, exactly that EE.

                That’s alright then Interesting point too. I thought he’d have been rated far too highly.

                As I mentioned the other day, was notable too that the boys on Upping the Ante completely ignored Q when running through potential winners of the Triumph.

                Wish I’d taken the NRNB 6s about him earlier in the week.

                • The thing is, if Q ends up here then one of GEs highest profile owners will expect him to win and certainly not be beaten by another from the same yard. That wouldn't look good would it.

                  • That should give you an idea of the confidence NW.

                      You seem very confident he's coming this way Spectre....even bullish. Do you know something the rest of us don't or is it just a very personal hunch ? I'm not scared to ask !

                      • The detail is for offline Lobos. I wouldn’t misdirect with a hunch though.

                          Cheers. Good enough for me. Bang goes my Glorious Zoff bet !

                            Has Quilixios been rerated by the UK handicapper since his last victory?

                            • He’ll get his UK rating with the rest of the Irish handicappers next week Jackie.

                              The expectation is 147.

                                Yes me too, and Riviere d'Etel as well I presume . On the plus side having Q at 22-1 TWAR could turn out OK.

                                We await further news with interest.
