  • Re Gaillard Du Mesnil, someone on Twitter asked Johnny Dineen - Could JD find out from his pal Joe Donnelly, whether the NHC is the plan for GDM and tell us how much Joe has staked on his ante post? Response - I can tell you what Joe will have on ante post and thats zero, and as for the horses plans, I do know that he will leave it completely to the trainer. He is neither a punter or a hands on owner.

      That blows my theory out of the water. A win today and i'd be seriously concerned that they'll go for a Grade 1 at Cheltenham.

      • Lets hope for another masterstroke Kennedy ride to beat him.

        Its a risk but might try the related double now on TSL for the RSA and GDM for the NHC.

          I am the guilty party with regards to this charlie!

          I was hoping JD would reply stating Donnelly has the mortgage, life savings and retirement pot on GDM for the NH Chase regardless of whether he won the Grade 1 today, but that was very much wishful thinking on my part!

          Good of JD to reply nonetheless and we get a better idea of the type of owner Joe Donnelly is!

            It would depend on the manner of the victory IMO. TSL is being very well supported so if GDM were to brush him aside with ease and win impressively, then I think the BANC has to become the more likely outcome. I'm all over the place with what I want the outcome to be tbh as it affects lots of my other bets! Hopefully they both stand, run their races and we get a proper answer!

              A cosy win for 3SL is what I need, with GDM doing his best work in last 100 yards.

              Like you say, both running their races is what we need. It'll hopefully allow us to adjust our positions after the race, if required.

                    Interesting. What are you preferred races for 3SL and GDM? Turners and BANC?

                      I've got GDM in so many nice multiples that it will be so gutting if he were to go for the BANC. I'm hoping for a decisive TSL win today...

                      • ……interested in Amarite today in the Neville’s. No idea how he managed to finish last time, PP are paying monies back if finishing 2nd, 3rd or 4th.

                            If they are to win any race at the festival then both will have to be running really well today.

                              Same here. I'm desperate for him to go NHC. If he were to win it, I'd almost certainly have a winning festival.

                              • If TSL were to win decisively today then I'd not give GDM much chance in the NHC. It's a difficult one isn't it.
