Think he needs another P2P win to qualify for Foxhunters. Katie rode today.

Sorry Fagan. Finished 4th.

Lazarus · January 19, 2014, 2:33pm

Knowing Quel Esprits record at Cheltenham(all too well:() he’ll probably lose a shoe or something 15 lengths clear coming to the last

Mac · January 19, 2014, 2:39pm

He wouldn’t make it to the last Laz

Fagan_ODowd · January 19, 2014, 4:08pm

What harm.

Kid_Chocolate · January 19, 2014, 6:49pm

Tidy zag…what a ringer you were

Mac · January 19, 2014, 7:24pm

I knew I recognised the name from somewhere. That was the one Andy Mac fucked up on around Tramore and barely won. Sick I didn’t remember that beforehand.

Kid_Chocolate · January 19, 2014, 7:31pm

Yup

I noticed The Liquidator has been given a mark of 142. Would not be surprised to see him run in the Martin Pipe conditional. Pond House team have yet to win this race and Gervey Chambertin was aimed at this last year.

What about Davy Russell riding a winner for De Bromhead today and Lynch riding a loser for De Bromhead in the race before…

Mac · January 19, 2014, 9:50pm

Was there any reason Lynch didn’t have a ride in Grand Jestures race?

fenwaypark · January 19, 2014, 9:51pm

HDB said they were just trying ‘something different’. If I was AL, I would be worried.

Fagan_ODowd · January 19, 2014, 9:53pm

What happened Wilde Sapphire @Mac

Tess_Tickle · January 19, 2014, 9:56pm

Wouldn’t have thought so. Doesn’t look good for Lynch. Who would ye lads prefer as a jock? I actually would probably prefer Lynch to Russell

Mac · January 19, 2014, 9:56pm

Injured after Wexford race. A fracture of some kind so she was retired and sent back to her breeder. A pity as they’d finally got her right. Have another one ready to go in the next month or so.

Mac · January 19, 2014, 9:57pm

Lynch if I want to win the race. Davy if I need a horse stopped.

Quel Esprit introduced at 8/1 for Foxhunters with BetVictor. Hmmm, be careful, he’s ineligible as won a £16K chase after 2/6/11.

I assume they would have to refund anyone who punts on it?

Mac · January 20, 2014, 12:31pm

Presume so. That’s what they did with Backstage a couple of years ago. BV are NRFB anyway so at worst you’d get your stake back as a free bet.
