The Enabler report from yesterday
The Raceday Stewards received a report from the Clerk of the Scales, Ms. P. Hassett, that J.W. Kennedy, rider of The Enabler, had weighed in 1.1 lb overweight. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned who accepted that this was the case and stated that he was unable to account for the discrepancy other than to say that his mount got quite wound up and had sweat alot. Having considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that J
W. Kennedy was in breach of Rule 231 and having considered his record in this regard (second offence) the Raceday Stewards suspended J. W. Kennedy for two racedays

I wonder if a forum favourite will be considered for handicaps nowOriginally posted by The hill View Post

Gordon has Prends Garde A Toi declared on Friday at Downpatrick over 2m6f. Was a lot of chat of him last autumn that he was working brilliantly but was beaten in 2 bumpers.
Potentially one for Bartlett or more likely handicaps.Comment

Think he is entered 3 times over the weekend, including a bumperOriginally posted by OverTheLast View PostComment

Bleu De Vassy too. Both entered in the bumper on Sunday at Cork too.Originally posted by OverTheLast View PostComment

The selfishness in me is hoping he keeps Romeo Coolio for Down Royal!Originally posted by Yosser View PostComment

Think Gordon realises his only real hope now winning a few at the Festival is in the Handicaps. Willie has way too much firepower in the Graded races.Comment

For someone who's had 32 festival winner inc a Grade 1 last year and a load of runner ups in Grade 1's, I think thats doing him a massive disservice, for all I see where you are coming from.Originally posted by Lobos View PostComment

Despite me always backing a couple of his, his record in novice hurdles and chases is not great.Originally posted by charlie View PostComment

Wonder how many of those 32 were Handicaps? Reckon it'll be at least 20. Anyone got any stats ?Originally posted by charlie View PostComment

Derryhassen Paddy has been entered at Hexham on Saturday. Like The Enabler, I’m a little surprised they’re starting at 2m but Lucinda knows more than I do. I’ll expect he’ll be kept to the Northern tracks for his first couple of runs and venture south later in the season, if he’s up to the level I think he could be. I have no doubt he’ll be running over further as the season progresses.

On the topic of Gordon’s yard he has a lovely staying prospect for novice hurdles this year in Son Of Anarchy, a Soldier of Fortune gelding out of a Flemensfirth mare.
He won a truely ran end to end PTP at Lingstown on the bridle by 15 lengths to a gelding that Elliott also purchased Jazz De Cotte, he subsequently won a decent bumper at Ayr beating some smart types including Champion Bumper 13th Cest ta Chance comprehensively into 4th.
Here’s Barry O’Neills thoughts on him after the PTP win, they seem to allude to plenty of stamina & “a big engine”
