    The stable tour was for the Dublin racing festival and he was talking about the Irish arkle held there.
    Anyone thinking otherwise needs to shake a leg.
    That's a fair cop.

      Having watched the video today I wholeheartedly agree with Q. 100% it's clear he is talking about the Irish Arkle IMO.

      • He had a tantrum every time anyone mentioned anything other than DRF to be fair. So it's probably a fair assumption he was talking about the Irish Arkle.

        • Glad for you all that it’s finally sorted

          • No one should blame themselves.

            Most of us are British. or worse English.
            Colonialism is bred into us. We can't help it.

            The Arkle
            The Grand National
            The Open
            fucking Wimbledon.

            Can't blame our Irish cousins for not putting Irish in front of every version of the races they've copied from us

            Fucking pioneers really - Rule Britannia !

            And America can get fucked as well.
            2 bit baby country.

              • Impaire Et Passe:

                “He’s entered at the Dublin Racing Festival but we might just give him an entry for the Scilly Isles at Sandown, just to give him another option,” said Anthony Bromley, racing manager to owners Simon Munir and Isaac Souede. “I imagine Willie will stay on home soil, he has five or six in the race and I imagine he will run all of them. He’s got the likes of Ballyburn, Champ Kiely and others in there.
                “The entry for Sandown would just give us another option though, then we can have a think about it and decide through the week. He’s ready to roll.”

                Bromley added: “I’ve been pleased how he’s been switching off in his races and he’s seeing them out well. He’s been finishing off much better than he ever did over hurdles last season and I think he’s a healthier horse this year – we’re excited to see him out again.”

                • Yep, saw that. Scilly Iles 2nd choice then.

                    I agree he continually brought the press back to the DRF and stopped them from moving him on to the Cheltenham races. So although he did not mention ‘Irish’ the indications were that he was referring to the Irish Arkle.

                      • Jagear looked pretty useful and left the impression there was plenty more to come. Won that off 144 (I think) - I’m here at the course and see he is fav for the Jack Richard’s (old Turners) but I have a recall that he might not get in that is if there is a ceiling. Does anyone recall whether there is a ceiling otherwise maybe The Plate.

                          No ceiling for the Novice chase

                          Won off 132 as well.

                            132 today he was.

                            I imagine he'll get 5lbs for that, maybe a little more, but no ceiling on the races so both the JR & Plate are options.

                            Be interesting to see what connections come out and say.

                              Greenall said the novice handicap would be ideal for them, but sure JP will make the decision on Jagwar

                                Did it sound like he was going to run the both of them?
