Iād say he is after being withdrawn, just had a look at the card on a couple of different sites and no sign of himā¦
Your some gimp dunph, he is running in Ballybrit at 4pmā¦currently 2/7 on betfair
running in galway. rothwell landed a nice touch today, not the first time that has happened.
Yeah just checked it there. It is indeed Galway where heās running.
Dunguib is 1/7 to win.
Apparently connections have turned down a million quid for the horse. Heāll need to win a heap of races to recoup that.
Iād be selling. A million for a horse that has yet to jump a hurdle.
Dunguib wins with easeā¦Aranleigh also had a nice win in wexford on his seasonal return

Heās some horse though and a joy to watch. Somebody close to connections told me a few months ago that JP offered alot of money to buy the horse straight after his Cheltenham success.
Itās hard to know what to do when offered 1m for him. I suppose if it were me iād accept it as going over hurdles and jumps he could easily break his leg and thatās it. But you can see how theyād turn down the offer.

I doubt they expect him to recoup a million but the pleasure of seeing him hopefully win a few more big races will probably amply compensate any crass monetary gain.
I suppose they could make a ball from stud fees some day if he goes on to fulfill his phenomenal potential. Iām very excited by this horse. I can see him going on to great things.

I wouldnāt know too much about stud fees but i think that NH stud fees pale in comparision compared to the Flatā¦
I wouldnāt know myself but if thatās true then they really should have taken that 1m.

Lads itāll be a miracle of modern science if they can engineer a stud career for a horse who had his crown jewels lopped off a few years ago.
Not sure if any of you are interested in the Melbourne Cup ( a very overrated race if you ask me), but thereās a great story unfolding here at the moment after Saturdayās Cox Plate. 82 year old trainer and legend Bart Cummings trained the winner, 3 year old So You Think, after also winning the Caulfield Cup a couple of weeks ago with Viewed (2007 Melbourne Cup winner).
Bartās on fire at the moment, and will probably have 6 runners in the Melbourne Cup, which races next Tuesday at Flemington. Average enough field by the looks of it this year, Viewed could be a real possibility, but Iām backing Efficient at the moment.

I see Pandorama is going over fences for the first time tomorrow, think it was Mac that was following him closely last yearā¦he had a fine year last year, his only defeat coming against mikael dāhagunetā¦
dunguib a 5/2 chance for the sumpreme novicesā¦

No value in backing him ante-post at that price. Was an impressive enough victory yesterday. There was no sound on tele I was watching it on, were they raving about him afterwards?
Waste of time backing a horse in october for mid march at 5-2ā¦anything could happen between now and thenā¦wouldnāt be a big ante post better anyway
I would be of a similar vein. Unless I get word for some āmachineā being kept under the radar :rolleyes:
The best success āIā had was when I told the auld fella in Decemeber that connections were fancying Hairy Molly for the champion bumper. He went off and put a tenner on him on betfair at 239 (238/1). Of course i didnāt do anything about it myself and Hairy Molly duely romped home in March. I was sick as a dog.
