Thanks, was starting to get concerned… -
very taking that from Halka Du Tabert, the right one finished 2nd with distance in between. The 2nd having form tied in with the AB fancy, you'd have to say the form looks solid. 16's looks a bit of value to me.Long bitcoin, long gold, long silver, long g/s opening day Cheltenham FestivalComment

I agree, I think the ground might be finding a few out today so who knows what one or two of these are up to on spring ground.Originally posted by Brooksie View Post
Managed to take some win today odds with Hills before the off too - expected a bigger clip than to 16s to be honestComment

She took an age to pull up too, lovely attitude when the Mullins horse came up alongside.Originally posted by Brooksie View PostComment

Gordon Elliott’s Halka Du Tabert followed up a bumper win by making most of the running in the Care At Home Services Mares Maiden Hurdle under Jack Kennedy.
Mullins’ Eabha Grace was the evens favourite but having briefly looked a threat, she had no answer to the 5-2 winner close home, going down by 11 lengths.
“She’s a nice mare. She has a good, high cruising speed but just gallops at the back of it and I told Jack to make plenty of use of her today,” said Elliott.
“I liked from the second last to the line the way she galloped. I’d say she’s smart.
“She might go next for the Solerina in Fairyhouse at the end of January.”
Which would be over 2m2f then stepping back to 2m1f to take in the mares novice possibly? Sounds like they just want to go hard from the front over shorter at this stage instead of stepping her up.

I appreciate he isn’t a glamour horse by any stretch but it will be Interesting to see what rpr Pembroke is given for today. Fast improving horse and beat them silly in a very handy time. Out of the sire of the moment too.Comment

Inneston now has an entry in the 2m hurdle at Kempton on Boxing Day. After hearing he’d be out around Xmas, that was the race I was hoping he’d be entered for as a sign of intent. Gary Moore likes to target Kempton so I’m hoping he’ll be part of the squad for Boxing Day.Comment

Firestep going well at home and will have entries in the New year.Comment

Jet Powered not currently at the level of Nicky's best Novices in the past. Will be out again in the New Year.

A late contender for 2022's most pointless post there Lobos, you been on the Xmas ale by any chance?Originally posted by Lobos View Post
We've seen Jet Powered once! You'd have said the same about Altior in October 2015, or Shishkin in Jan 2020. We learn what these horses are in the fullness of time, so there is zero merit in comparing a once raced maiden winner with Henderson's historical best.

I think Lobos may have been relaying some comments made by Henderson made on his Unitbet blog, although that wasn’t made clear. The quote was…Originally posted by charlie View Post

”He’s a very nice horse but I’m not sure he’s quite in the same league at the moment as our previous best novices. I’m not in any great rush with him because he’s quite an active, busy person who I hadn’t done an awful lot with before Newbury and he will improve a lot for that. He’ll be out in the New Year“Comment

Impossible to know from Lobos quote that it was relayed information and not a personal opinion given the way it was phrased.Comment
