The Sport of Kings & Equine Matters 🐐

Maybe not as high quality as previous years but great day in Leopardstown yesterday with some cracking race finishes. Any thoughts? Trafford Lad ran a very disappointing race, and the Listner looks to be finished and probably shouldn’t really be running in that kind of company anymore. Forpadydeplasterer backed at 1/10 in running on betfair I heard, which is crazy given that he never looked remorely close to pulling away from a horse of the quality of Cooldine.

Was off yesterday so watched the action from Navan on ATR.

Catch Me was ultra impressive. A shame there is no “Ryanair Hurlde” at the festival because he would be a short priced favourite for it id say.

Yeah doesn’t seem to stay 3 miles and 2 miles is too sharp for him. I think if I owned him I’d put him in cold storage for the Aintree Hurdle altogether.

Its a tricky one for them SS…he didnt run badly in the Champion last year and if it comes up soft/heavy I would say connections would be tempted to let him take his chance again.

Some weather for Fav backers lads…

I was in Gowran on Saturday. 6 out of 7 races went to Favs and the one that went west was a big tricky handicap.

5 from 7 in Navan yesterday and the other two were easily backed. €57 odd was the jackpot payout, says it all really.

lol… €57 Jackpot dividend, that’s the lowest I’ve ever heard.

the second in that race might be a bet for the mares hurdle in Cheltenham, Oscar Rebel. Has won a fair few quid for its owners and seems to run better as it goes up in class. Was on it ew, 14/1 in a six horse race is great price.

That’s not a bad price at all, that Oscar Rebel is definitely one to watch alright, I’ve definitely seen it being placed a fair few times.

she won 3/4 good races last year at big prices, backed her every day, know the fella who sold her (for about 1500 euro, he ain’t happy now).

about 25/1 for the mares hurdle in Cheltenham but the way the bookies have underestimated it every time its been out I might just wait for the day, or closer to the day at least

Im hearing that Trafford Lad scoped badly last Saturday(just one day before the race!) but they ran him anyway,3rd in a 106000 would probably pay 10k or so but it was a shortsighted view as theyre surely harming the horse,twill be very hard to back him over the next 2 Months if this is the carry on.

Lads, anywhere on-line that does the Nad Al Sheeba Cards. All the betting sites are barred in work on me, along with racingpost and attheraces… any other I could try.

Found them

Ger Lyons’ Summit Surge is worth a punt tonight…

Ah no…such a shame. It was only last Sunday i saw him out in the field and he seemed in reasonable health

Commiserations to connections

I reckon lacdoudal will run a big race tomorrow in the Racing Post chase in kempton, currently available at around 14-1…

Anyone know what odds you would get for a Binocular-MasterMinded-Kauto Star treble in cheltenham…

Probably Bet365 would be best if you have an account they are almost 8/1 the treble (non runner - no bet). On the highstreet, William Hill best at 7.7/1

Going to go with Fleet Street or Conna Castle

Just over 8/1 with PP online also

Incredibly PP have pushed both Binocular and Kauto Star since I posted! Powers are now longest on the high street at 8.14/1
