    Discovered that b365 let me cash out my Haymount AP bet in full and rebacked him for the same amount at same price but for 5 places rather than 4. Bit odd they let you do that when there’s nothing extra in it for them but handy anyway.

    So my 3 are:
    Haymount
    Neverrushacon
    Koshari

    All EW for 5 places.

    So many I could have gone for; Jury Duty is a lovely sort and you never know when the likes of Clarcam could pop up again (he’s only 8- I thought was older- probably cos he had 20 races in a year and a day at one stage!)
    Hoping for a great race and I hope everyone gets a good run from their selections :good:

    Grass, don’t start me on Neverushacon. Always bet him as you know, and he’s some price too. Haven’t totally ruled him out.

    Good luck

    I’ve gone for Patricks Park and hoping something comes out in the lead up to the race. He’s progressive and there aren’t that many progressive animals in the field. Lightly raced and a winner twice in the recent past in big fields. Neverrushacon would be an alternative, but I’m not having a bet if PP doesn’t get a run.

    Surprise! Ballycasey a NR. Dunno if an official change in going or he whispered to Willie that he had a funny feeling in his toe ;-)
    So Patrick’s Park gets his run for you :good:

    It’s a really strong line up, I don’t know where to start. I think a play safe option here with Jury Duty 7-1 + Slowmotion15-2

    I have had a rethink + I just have to add an outsider. Conrad Hastings at 40-1 each way with 6 places as well

    looks like Willie has sacrificed Ballycasey to let Patricks Park in. I could have
    done without that, but well done all who are on him, he has a real shout :good:

    I’ve played:

    Fully East each way @ 12/1 (6 places)

    Sub Lieutenant small bet each way @ 20/1 (6 places)

    Good luck lads

    Considered him. Didn’t back him. Hey ho.

    I’m not sure if Enright won the race or the other jocks gave it to him but the move he made when Drumcliff fell was the decisive moment.

    I don’t think anyone here was on Clarcam, but well done if they were. It’s a bit of a sore one
    for Patricks Park supporters, the bird had well and truly flown before he set about chasing him
    down at the end. I think Slowmotion finished 6th, which surprised me because she didn’t ever look
    like she was ever travelling and Geraghty didn’t get her into any kind of rhythm, she stayed on at
    the finish but was never in a position to challenge. I’ll have to watch the race back to see what
    to make of her run. Oh well, back to the drawing board :unsure:

    WD with your EW on Snow Falcon ATP- did well to improve his position.

    Well done Atthepost, looks like you saved it from being a whitewash here.

    I missed this race having been in holiday, and I’m glad as it would have been a similar fate for me, I was really keen on Tully East and Saturnas

    Nice one ATP, as Lemons said, you definitely prevented a whitewash

    Glad to see someone get a return ATP, well done.

    Licking my wounds with Clarcam here.

    The mare I’m involved in who missed this guy 2 places on the ballot runs on Sunday at Galway… personally speaking I’d say she’d be better on better ground (might still get it) and over a normal 2m…probs smaller field too she likes to fly out in front and a big field might zap her up. She’s much better than ever imagined though…almost a pity Ruby chose her as I reckon she’d be a huge price if Ruby chose Koshari, but I guess it’s also a compliment!

    Sorry didn’t know where to stick this :good:
