    Visually Yanworth has looked very laboured… the one horse in this who has shown the “wow” factor this season is Petit Mouchoir.. jumps brilliantly and has real acceleration… I completely accept that he’s been beating little in Ireland but it’s the dominant style that he’s done it which has impressed. Whether he can translate that to cheltenham and the hill remains to be seen, but I feel he should be shorter than he is

    I must admit I’m changing my mind here (not for the first time it must be said) on Petit Mouchoir, so feel free to bring up my comment on how I don’t like him at all for this :wacko:

    Just struggling to find one that’s actually looked good to the eye, and this one stands out a mile

    Just looked through the thred:

    Page 16

    How much you got at 480?

    25p…But I’ve got 460,440 and 410 too to way more pennies… :yahoo:

    Page 23

    Wow!
    How much did you have on at 480 Gord? :good:

    There’s only 2 people in the whole of the galaxy got 480’s on him Ginge and both are on here.I have a whole £1 at 480…8p at 430..£1 at 420…80p at 410 and a couple of fivers at 40 and 34’s.If I can get 2/1 I’m definitely laying some off,the way he runs should he get there he’ll touch that in running.

    :scratch:

    Different stakes, different prices.

    It’s easy to get mixed up when you have such a big ante-post portfolio. I’ve been telling anyone who will listen that I have €20 e/w on Djakadam for the Gold Cup at 16/1 and when I went through my bets the other night I realised that I only had €15e/w at 14s.

    Think we all do that now and again Vautour.
    This seemed to be so precise though.

    Don’t think I’d forget what I’ve got at prices in the hundreds.

    Limini has not been suplemented

    You would assume VVM isnt going on that news

    I suppose it wouldn’t be Cheltenham without Mullins taking the piss out of everyone,I’m sure him and his cronies will have a good laugh about it tonight.

    Or VVM goes here? Rubys only other possible ride in the race is Wicklow Brave/footpad (depending onwho Jacob chooses) which I don’t think he would be too impressed with

    Entirely possible, theyv been going on about how keen she has been racing this year and that she wont get 3m, one thing is a certainty, they wont race noth in the mares, the 20k fee isnt needed for VVM so it seems there more inclinced to just throw her in here at. O cost because limini will win the mares anyway

    So yes id agree, CH or nothing for VVM if limini goes mares and dosent stay at home

    Does anyone think there’s a chance Vroum Vroum turns up here Limini doesn’t go at all as she’s not had long enough between races and she does appear best fresh and he throws Let’s dance into the mares hurdle. This would leave Arlie beach to run in the mares novice. I know it’s unlikely but we all know Mullins does throw massive curve balls. Let’s dance is available at 8’s for the mares nrmb might be worth a small investment can’t really lose anything if she doesn’t turn and and if she did she’d be a lot shorter than 8-1 that’s for sure.

    Or is it a case of media and punters not listening to connections?
    Everyone (including Mullins and Ricci) were disappointed in VVM’s last run. That Donny run nowhere near her best, hence Limini coming in to calculations for this. As far as I know nobody said Limini was definitely being supplemented. Remember them saying they’d see how VVM and Limini are going at home before deciding targets. Ricci even told everyone these two were the only ones of his graded horses where targets did not select themselves.

    Limini is also fragile and runs infrequently. Never certain she’d be in the same form a second time.

    Is it case of Ruby riding Footpad and Jacob on Sceaux Royal and VVM going mares with Limini staying at home?

    This morning…

    Mullins told the Irish Times: “She is in the Champion Hurdle, too, and there’s still a week to go so things can change.

    “But the mares’ race has been the plan all along for Vroum Vroum Mag and I would imagine that’s where she’ll go.”

    Presumed after that Limini would be supplemented for the CH…. Confused.com

    :wacko:

    I should of cashed out.

    Anything is possible at this stage, for my own sake i hope limini goes to the mares, i laid off everything i took at high odds for the CH so im relatively happy thus far.

    No, Ricci has said on RTE that there is a good chance they will take each other on. Still plenty of time for Vroum Vroum to impress enough to take her chance in the Champion/Stayers

    Mullins said he MIGHT supplement limini
    Elliot said he MIGHT supplement tombstone

    Neither were supplemented. Mullins gets abuse. No one says a word about Elliot doing the same thing

    Didn’t know Mullins head lad was on This forum! LOL
    Mullins messes punter around the most for sure.
    He said yesterday VVM has always been planned to go mares race and today that’s up in the air too!
    Mullins and Rich Ricci constantly mislead people way more than Elliot.
