  • Don't forget the winner though....ADTS

    • Someone tell Willmounts owner the Ballymore might be a better option... until we see Ballyburn and An Tobar destroy that market this weekend.

      • Can someone tell me why It's For Me couldn't be a Supreme contender? Doesn't seem to have been mentioned much despite an RPR of 141. Only downside I've identified is that he was out early

          What injury did he actually pick up I can't remember?

          • Getting Jet Powered vibes from that. IMO we most definitely have the worst price of the fez so far

                Really depends if you're a backer or not

                As someone who took 33s, I was very happy with the performance

                If people werent on prior to that run, theyll not be too impressed

                Antepost for you though that isnt it, and obvious betting bias.

                  You've nailed it 33s is fine, and maybe he should be 16/20s now. But 4/1, 8/1 is absolutely laughable

                  Westport cove who finished LAST in the bumper would have won in the same fashion in that race.

                  I suppose in a way it's a good thing, keeps other prices value if the bookies think he's a genuine 8/1 shot already.

                    Whys he out so long if it was only a stone bruise?

                    Must've been a big stone

                      Jet powered picked up a knock in his second run and wasn't seen again

                      Who knows he might have actually been useful

                      He is way too short though, I can't imagine any on here are taking 8/1

                      I'd probably rather back that than Gaelic Warrior at 5/2 in the turner's though

                        Nope. We are going for the opener. Champion hurdle next season.

                          It was a big stone. It just looked small initially, as Nicky was standing far away at the time.

                          • Something for the backers and the non backers in the Jeriko run. Those that are on will be pleased with the way he hurdled and the manner of the victory. Those not on can point to the strength of the form with the biggest guide in Centara being wayward in the straight and losing all hope. Biggest problem with any of Henderson novices is that unless he races his against each other (Or send over to Ireland/Ireland send some over) then they are not likely to have particularly competitive races, even when upped in grade, prior to Cheltenham.

                              I said the same/similar about Constitution Hill.
                              His form lines were Guff, even though he was pushed out more and ran quicker times, so you could see more of his ability.

                              He then produced the greatest Supreme Novice hurdle performance ever seen.

                              • One thing to note was the time of Jeriko du reponet race today was 6 seconds quicker than willmounts victory over course and distance similar going.

                                Different day so obviously massive pinch of salt. Interesting none the less imo.
