Champagne fever. Fuckin hell.
Strong form line from his second in Cork behind Our Vinnie and in front of Busty Brown. Vinnie in the notebook for me since 2 in che, looks very useful
How did Mount Benbulben jump?
Better than wev seen to date anyways
I was giving Lead kindly light a chance here at Naas.
How did he jump Runt ?

Quite easily I’d imagine. Runt isn’t the tallest.
Better than he has, still to the right though and would have won if jumped as well as the winner. Nowhere near good enough to compete at G1 level anyways IMHO based on what he has shown to date

Champagne Fever found to be suffering from a respiratory tract infection following his disappointing third in the Slaney Novice Hurdle
If you knew which race he’d run in, now would be a great time to back champagne fever for che. Goes on any ground and owner always takes his horses there, neptune ?
I’d say Neptune with Pont Alexandre going for the Albert Bartlett.
Back both with Victor Chandler and you’ll get a free bet to the value of your stake if he doesn’t run in either. Non runner free bet rather than nrnb.
Any chance Minsk killed any chance he had by taking CF on up front and the bad jump early on? Thought rule the world was very impressive but the more I think about it the more I think he was lucky that the other 2 left it on a plate for him. How did the time compare to other races out of interest?
Mount Benbulben has been down at Capt Con Power’s schooling which may have brought about today’s improvement.
I believe Champagne Fever scoped wrong after the race.
Respiratory tract infection they announced. The run was way too bad to be true.
Do any of these lads scope horses before racing I wonder? I know it’d be an awkward task to undertake when you’ve a yard with as many runners as Mullins, but for backers of horses, like CF today, it must be more then annoying to hear he scoped badly afterwards.
Scoping is 50 dabs, and younger horses don’t like it. Also some respitory ailment only show up after a hard blow so before might not work
I believe some or all Gigginstown trainers were sent a missive from on high telling them to buck up a bit when it comes to training winners. :lol:
Do Gigginstown tend to keep the horses with whoever has them when they are bought like JP does?
They don’t tend to buy horses in training with they bigger trainers
