That went pretty much perfectly for you G, and a nice Voucher for March, well done.
I would say he’s the one to beat now
November 25, 2016 at 17:48 #1274103Thanks guys.
Sixth win in a row! His impressive progression continues. Definitely a World Hurlde favourite now. Also one race earlier I saw One Track Mind struggling at the fences. He could be an intereseting opponent if he switches back to hurdles.
November 25, 2016 at 18:00 #1274105I’ve just been checking back on ‘Harry’s form and when with Helen Nelmes the form was not inspiring to say the least then bought by JPM and switched to Harry Fry then 1st. run goes off 7/2 fav. at Cheltenham winning cosily ?
Since then unbeaten and into a top horse ?, what on earth was there there to see JPM aquire the horse and immediatly transform it into a world hurdle prospect ?, cracking horse and i wish it well but although we see horses change stables and ability, this has to rank way up there and beyond what i can remember.November 25, 2016 at 18:01 #1274106Apologies DB, well played
November 25, 2016 at 18:10 #1274108Thanks Bobby, very much looking forward to seeing him at Cheltenham

I’ve been following Unowhatimeanharry for a while now. He transferred from Helen Nelmes about a
year ago to Harry Fry and had won only one out of 13 races. Whatever Harry Fry did with him, it transformed
the horse who won the next five on the bounce the last being the Albert Bartlet at the festival. I was there
to see him win that, he was impressive and obliged at 16/1 for me. He wasn’t in the ownership of JP when he
transferred to Harry Fry, he was only bought by JP last month. A shrewd buy after his win today and an
exciting prospect for the World Hurdle. He’s best priced 6/1 now
November 25, 2016 at 18:35 #1274114JPM only bought him in the summer,was running for the Harry Fry racing club last year.
Delighted to see Harry do so well today.Didn’t have a punt but will always be fond of him as he kicked off a glorious couple of hours for me at Cheltenham on Gold cup day last time when I had him at a nice AP price for the Bartlett.
Looking like he could turn into a real top notcher on today’s run although he does tend to plough his way through the hurdles sometimes,he was lucky to stay upright after the last in the AB.Can’t see him finishing out of the places in the world hurdle on this form.
What on earth was Helen Nelmes doing with him,she really must be kicking herself…
November 25, 2016 at 19:29 #1274129Well done Graham!!

That is all I seem to do nowadays congratulate you
November 25, 2016 at 19:39 #1274137Well done Graham, very impressive winner, and that’s a lovely price you have for the World Hurdle

Snow Falcon was going well but is the latest in a batch of recent fallers I’ve had, and was particularly disappointing as I was on each way at 14’s. While I think he’d certainly have been in the two as Stilvi says it’s impossible to say if he’d have won and the winner seemed to win with plenty in hand.
November 25, 2016 at 19:41 #1274138Lol cheers Raymo, I wish it was that regular, it’s just nice to get it right now
and again. He’s been really good to me over the past year, I hope my luck holds
out up to the Festival
November 25, 2016 at 19:46 #1274141Cheers Tommy, and bad luck with Snow Falcon. As I mentioned earlier to Mark, he was going well
and it didn’t look a tired fall. He would have been in the mix for sure.November 25, 2016 at 20:45 #1274162He wasn’t in the ownership of JP when he
transferred to Harry Fry, he was only bought by JP last month. A shrewd buy after his win today and an
exciting prospect for the World Hurdle. He’s best priced 6/1 nowOh, tks for that Big G as i thought JP bought him out of the Nelmes stable and i looked to see what he saw that wasn’t obvious and now this beauty is on the march to great things hopefully.
November 26, 2016 at 00:19 #1274202I didn’t see the race but all the RP says it that Snow Falcon was making headway, travelling strongly but then fell. Would it have been in with a shout ?
I’m not Flanagan’s greatest fan. A strike rate of 6-7% over in Ireland is poor ( although he’s been riding better for Meade this season )
Impossible to say Mark, he was travelling well, but so were probably another 4 at that time. He
came down at the 3rd last, it didn’t look a tired fall so he might have been in the mix. I think
the winner looks a bit special, he won by 6 lengths but he was heavily eased so that could easily
have been double that. Have a look at the race and see what you thinkThanks ! I agree with Stilvi that he’d have been first two but the winner has done that smartly.
Still fairly happy with Snow Falcon for the World Hurdle
November 26, 2016 at 16:21 #1274341BigG, that is a great shout with HARRY, you must be counting down for Thecaworkd Hurdle now, well done

Good luck Mark, he was travelling nicely at the time so every chance he’ll be a player come March

Thanks buckers, I’m more than happy with him. He looks top class, and importantly he loves
Cheltenham too
