I’ll just leave this here Hughsie .. The one time he went up against a proper 3 miler …. You only need to watch to half way if you want to see warrior though …
Ah national hunt season at last , only around 22 weeks to Cheltenham but plenty time to laugh at Garlic
October 11, 2025 at 11:13 #1741704Myself and HDLG both agree Gaelic Warrior at 33/1 is worth a tenner
16’s top price now
Would you suggest I cash out now or wait until he bolts up in the King George and goes favourite for thisCharles Darwin to conquer the World
October 11, 2025 at 11:20 #1741706I’d cash out , as for the KG it’s taylor made for Fact to File , I don’t see how Gaelic would beat him , surely it’ll be another spring campaign for Gaelic , Aintree and Punchestown again … that would be his level
October 11, 2025 at 11:36 #1741712“as for the KG it’s taylor made for Fact to File , I don’t see how Gaelic would beat him”
Fact To File still has to prove his stamina over 3 miles and above off a decent gallop. They thought he was quick enough for 2 miles at Punchestown (though that never worked out). They wont hang about in the King George with the ex French horse in there. Plus no guarantee Fact To File will even turn up for the King George, he could stay in Ireland for the Savills. The King George looks the right sort of test for Gaelic Warrior, he will likely enjoy chasing a strong pace like he did at Aintree on the provisio he gets up on the right side of the bed that morning ;o)
October 11, 2025 at 11:42 #1741714FTF will stay 3 around Kempton , the French horse didn’t get up the hill in the Ryanair , was destroyed by FTF , Banbridge didn’t get home in the the GC , they fought out the finish last year in the KG , FTF if he turns up fit will jump them silly , he’s a cracking price just now
October 11, 2025 at 11:44 #1741715I’d run il est Francais in the Champion chase
October 11, 2025 at 11:57 #1741719“the French horse didn’t get up the hill in the Ryanair , was destroyed by FTF”
The Cheltenham track didn’t suit IEF it was clear he didn’t run like he did at Kempton.
October 11, 2025 at 12:48 #1741735He didnt get home Mike
October 11, 2025 at 13:31 #1741745IEF trainer Ryanair post race comments…
“He was nice and relaxed and then turning down the back he’s wanted to let him bowl and do his thing and he probably is better right-handed as he was always going a little bit right, even though he was putting in those big leaps.
“When the winner has come past him, James said he had nothing to give. The winner is obviously very good, but I’d say it’s probably not our optimum track.”
October 11, 2025 at 22:29 #1741859” Nothing to Give ” Ie didn’t get up the hill , no doubt the KG will be his target but if they don’t have a go at 2 miles I reckon there missing a trick
November 24, 2025 at 07:43 #17455048/1 top price now for the laughing horse
Has one ever lost a Fred Winter off 126 and started fav for a Gold Cup before
Do I cash out now HDLG ?
Charles Darwin to conquer the World
November 25, 2025 at 09:15 #1745557Compared to the old days, I rarely bet antepost. But Jango Baie (just raised to 165 rating) is twice the price he should be for this at 20/1.
November 25, 2025 at 23:13 #1745588I just can’t warm to the Henderson horse , just feel 2 races well into his lap , agree though 20s is to big , cash out Hughsie , Sunday was his Gold Cup
December 24, 2025 at 11:24 #1748385Inothewayurthinkin 9-2
December 24, 2025 at 13:25 #1748388I know it is pointless asking this question but I will ask it anyway: which bookmaker laid you 9/2, Mike? Because according to Oddschecker the best price available is 4/1 – and that is only with two bookmakers.
Even Betfair is only 5.2.
December 24, 2025 at 15:41 #1748394Did you go each way Mike
December 24, 2025 at 16:48 #1748401Price boost. Some bookies i am with occasionally give a price boost offer.
