Well he didn’t fall anyway he was pulled up so I assume so. I was extremely busy all day today and haven’t seen any replays.

thedancingbaby · April 21, 2018, 8:57pm

Likewise. Just saw he was pulled up and then saw he was put down.

Can’t believe Fagan was backed into favourite. Was told he had “no chance” during the week

Kevin Blake and Rory delargy put him up so I’d imagine that had a lot to do with it. The fact gordon had won the other two might have attracted support too. Again I haven’t looked at a replay but it looked like an absolutely relentless gallop on quick ground.

Broke his hind leg

Mate, I’ve commented on a horse here with no ability that’s been tipped up and backed into favourite based on nothing. When we put our donkey with Gordon, Capt Keen in the Indo napped him even though he was 100/1. All I can assume is that the vast majority of punter are idiots. Gordon carries so much sway now that people assume every runner he has can win.

Glencairn ran a long way off the back for a while and was pulled up suddenly.

Just glad we twisted his arm enough not to go to Ayr. To be fair I don’t think he would have run him on that ground even if he brought him over.

Yeah I suppose there’s lazy tipping where they just tip up the likes of Gordon/Willie/Henderson etc

Mac · April 21, 2018, 9:39pm

Fair play for standing your ground. Plenty others wouldn’t. Maybe it easier when you’ve had the horses you’ve had but plenty others wouldn’t get a choice.

thedancingbaby · April 21, 2018, 9:44pm

Ah I’d well believe it mate. Helps when we have the voice I suppose.

This is the dead horses thread please stay on topic.

Sorry mate I was replying to @Mac who went off topic

Glencairn View RIP

I’m afraid Cantlow has had a heart attack and died while walking in after the La Touche. R.I.P.

Bolox. Thats a shame.

Mac · April 26, 2018, 4:23pm

The mad bastard. He was never gonna go out the easy way

Copper_pipe · April 28, 2018, 4:11pm

Ar Mad

gilgamboa · April 28, 2018, 4:14pm

Ah ffs. Smashing horse at his best.

thedancingbaby · April 28, 2018, 4:33pm

Mick o Leary offering wounded warrior to the core partnership.

Mac · April 28, 2018, 6:01pm

Is he dead or something?

Copper_pipe · April 28, 2018, 6:03pm

I dont think so

Noel Meade on Wounded Warrior @punchestownrace: “He is what he is, he’s not easy to predict. He ran a cracker and he (Sean Flanagan) said he loved the ground and jumped great. We might try him in the Becher Chase in December.”

Mark burst surely. Would have been a good purchase
