Also a suggestion in a further reply that “No decision on him [Vega], it seems Paul Townend has even suggested Broadway. Needs fast pace. Turners beginning to cut up.”

[Lobos]

What did you mean by the 'Broadway ' bit Mighty?

Super news re Hunters.

Think he’s referring to the Brown Advisory.

What, PT going to ride him ??

That would be my take on it.

[Lobos]

That would be my take on it.

That would be very interesting

[Mighty]

That would be very interesting

That’s the exact quote from Bryan Gault on Gaultstats. I’d be amazed if Vega went up to the RSA having run exclusively at 2m for the last two seasons. Have to admit I originally thought he meant Gaelic Warrior not Vega.

Reminds me a little of Sir Gerhard last season - they aren’t sure of his best trip, or how to get the best out of him, so if that’s the case I can leave him alone.

With the disclaimer that he's my only winner in the arkle (he doesn't win it even if he goes) and that I think he wins the turners (and that's where I want him to go), this quote makes the 50/1 antepost for the RSA (365) a brilliant price imo. I don't think he wins but that's still 9/2 (effectively with win part lost) first 3 and there might only be 5 runners in the race

Gotcha. Was confused. Thought you meant Broadway Boy . So Vega to the BANC . Wow, this year's Fez is mental !!

There’s no way he goes there. I’m 92.3565% sure he’ll go for the turners

[Lobos]

I'd imagine Hunters is going to be very popular now Casey has said he's on the boat. With Vega looking highly likely to go elsewhere and Danny set to Keep the ride on IET, Paul will ride Hunters you'd think and could well go off second fav.

Lets not all get ahead of ourselves, remember Casey regularly talks absolute shite frequently.

[Guinness Village]

Hunters yarn would make a great pacemaker for facile vega in the arkle

[The Giant Bolster]

Facile Vega to the BANC has a weird logic to it. If you end up siding with the theory that the stamina in his breeding is key then why not. Plus it gives Townend a ride in the BANC (would he ride Facile ahead of Gaelic in the Turners?).

I'm not saying he wins the BANC and I would want nrnb or an ability to lay stake for any bet. But I don't think it is completely crazy.
