    2026 Hunters Chase

    Patrick said he gives preference to Hunter chase horses and that horses like stattler that step across to hunter chaser don't have a great record. He thinks it will be 4th time lucky for Its on the Line.

    2026 National Hunt Nov H’cap Chase

    Ya i like him. Problem is with these irish novice staying chasers, financially they are potentially better off finishing 3rd in irish national, than winning the NHC. Irish national is 2 weeks earlier this year. Winning an irish national for morris would be huge. Gordon is after the irish...

    2026 Mares Hurdle

    Yard hasn't mentioned anything about it, i just saw her in the video. Find it strange it's still bandaged. If it was bad at xmas, they wouldn't have ran her. So you'd be think it was nearly cleared up at the time, but its still bandaged 8 weeks later? Im assuming its precautionary, just...

    2026 Mares Hurdle

    Just watched at the races stable tour of Gordon Elliotts and Wodhooh still has her back leg bandaged up, has being since before xmas and during leopardstown at xmas. Has to be bit of negative that they still have it on, must have being a bad enough cut. Could it have opened again, or got...

    Can't take to the Wallpark in the NHC. His chase form is dreadful, understand he hasnt being trying, but when you are going to run over 3m6f you have to have a few decent runs in the season. Also for a horse that I thought was a stayer, he has only won once over 3m.

    He sends his best novice to the easier race. Thats the only way I look at it. Sir Gerhard avoided Conn Hill and Ballyburn ran in a turners against 2 English no hopers and 5 horses from Closutton. If he ends up with the fav in the other race then fair enough. But naturally they will be close to...

    Why will he want a good shot at the supreme over turners? He didn't last year and won the Turner's with his best novice
