Punchestown Festival 2022

[DenmanSacre]

Some nicely bred horses in the bumpers - relations to Mighty Potter/French Dynamite, Black Tears, Monalee, Master Minded, Lisnagar Oscar and Rashan.

SG ran his poorest race at Punchestown last year. I'm on DD's side to make all.

Chacun looks unbeatable around Punchestown along with Klassical Dream, Stormy Ireland and Lifetime Ambition.

Think we'll see plenty of the Cheltenham winners overturned as always happens.

Hopefully some of next year's Cheltenham AP prices will be pushed out for those that are beat.

[DenmanSacre]

I'd have fancied DD to prove superior to SG with Danny on top. Yet Patrick gets the ride and is definitely a negative in these small field grade 1s against the proper jockeys. SG at evens with Sky is a great price.

Talk of Sir Gerhard for the 2023 Champion Hurdle is a waste of time. Never impressed me in the Ballymore as any kind of future Champion.

Dysart Dynamo went off like a bat out of hell in the hope he'd take the sting out of Constitution Hill's tail..Need't have bothered as Jonbo had the same idea.

A few novice chases are on the cards for Dysart Dynamo next season and he will end up Arkle fav at some point. A back to lay may be the way to go.
He should however win the Champion Novice without too much trouble.

Dont know how you couldn't have been impressed with SG in the Ballymore - was a great effort in my eyes on his first time at that trip on heavy going. Excellent run by a dual festival winner.

Sir Gerhard goes for the 2 miler along with Dysart Dynamo.

[Odin]

I really want JWM to run in this, considering how high I was on him for the spuds race it'll be a bit of a bittersweet redemption he does run a good race

Don't see it happening when it's 44k to the winner of the sales race (Vs 73k to winner of grade 1)... And they specifically got him qualified for the sales race. It would be a flabbergastingly strange bit of race planning if he did go 3 miler anyway
... Or maybe my race planning eye isn't as good as I thought it was!

I'm very interested to see how Minella Crooner fairs in the 3m grade 1 on Wednesday, was sweet on him for the Bartlett and Imo he'd have got past Cocooner at Leopardstown with a bit tidier jumping and the extra distance. Whether he's good enough to get past The Nice Guy we'll see but I do like him for next years RSA.

He didn't get past because his jumping is average at best and that's being kind. Looks to be one that'll always have excuses until hitting marathon trips.

Yeah I'd like to see him run here too but maybe we'll see him an hour before! It's been a long season and he had a bad fall lto but not much to lose upping to 3m when he's got the whole summer off afterwards, no idea whether he'll go Turners like Bob or RSA next year.. looks like the staying trip would squeeze out more improvement - will come up against classier types in the Turners you'd have thought.

DD fell in the supreme when leading didn't he

Not sure if I was more drunk this morning or in March

[FinalFurlong91]

….if Sir G wins, there could be a move on his 8-1 Champion Hurdle odds.

Or his arkle odds

[FinalFurlong91]

The way DD was left behind in the Supreme, you'd be disappointed if Sir G wasn't a good bit better than him tbh. Should definitely be fav if they both run. Wouldn't trust Mullins to actually run them though, so I'm out until after decs.
