Buying money tomorrow, or priced on hype?
A bit shorter than I normally back, but the way his form was franked at Cheltenham surely makes him a 1/3 shot in this company?
Any strong opinions for or against?
April 27, 2009 at 19:54 #223920A small amount of money was traded at odds-against on BF when the market opened………some thieves even got upwards of 6/4.
April 27, 2009 at 20:12 #2239314/6 was exactly my tissue price.
I’d have Go Native a bit shorter than 4/1 and he’s the only possible bet each-way for me if the dead 8 stay in.April 27, 2009 at 23:04 #223971I would be inclined to let him go and do it. There has to be doubts coming back after a setback on ground that may be softer than ideal. We are also ly judging him to a large extent on one run – there is is nothing special in the Donna’s Palm form albeit in a falsely run race. On the plus side a few of these would prefer better ground.

I beg to differ.
I am personally judging him based on his hammering the Supreme Novices winner 10L without having to come off the bridle. The Donnas Palm form is completely irrelevant, because it was left miles behind at Christmas.

Not to mention him finishing ahead of Quevega at Auteuil last summer. She couldn’t have won any easier at Cheltenham and United has gone on to give a boost to that form at Liverpool.
April 28, 2009 at 00:16 #223989Indeed, his whopping of Go Native entitles him to be short for this
April 28, 2009 at 00:35 #223996I don’t see any money traded at greater than 1.79 on BF. Are you looking at the right horse there GH?
I think I’ll back Kempes each-way myself – no chance at Kempton after hitting the first but showed his true colours at Fairyhouse.

There was a very weak ante-post market on the race David – he was available at marginally bigger than 6/4 prior to the final decs.
April 28, 2009 at 01:24 #224008Oh right – fair enough
Well done to whoever who got that
April 28, 2009 at 02:05 #224013It was probably The Ante Post King no doubt..
April 28, 2009 at 02:10 #224014I’m sure Kempes is a better horse on better ground than he’ll encounter tomorrow DB- I make this a dead match and the injury and absence of HF gives Go Native a squeak.
April 28, 2009 at 13:15 #224061I’ll have something on the Hurricane. Mullins should have him good to go.

Strange, you say you disagree then go on to confirm exactly what I was saying?

They certainly took all the 4’s that was available on Go Native.
If Hurricane Fly is to be beaten it won’t be because of his injury. I doubt if Willie Mullins would run such a good horse with a big future ifhe wasn’t up to it. The race simply isn’t that important.
As I said in another post it is the pace that’s all important here. Go Native showed massive improvment when he ran at Cheltenham. The stronger pace and the fact the went for home early, brought victory, will be foremost on Noel Meade’s mind.
He can’t outsprint Hurricane Fly and the problem he faces is not one of the 8 are confirmed front runners. I would suspect that is why Meade has a second runner in the race or it could be Go Native will try and make all.
I can’t see any other way Meade can expect to win this.
Hurricane Fly might be 4/6 but he may look like a 1/6 shot after this if Meade’s pair don’t ensure a strong gallop.
April 28, 2009 at 19:29 #224114Well read Fist.
April 28, 2009 at 19:35 #224115Very impressive indeed (the horse not Fist!)
