Doesn’t that make the assessment on Minella Indo much harder? Early sire?
Don’t actually fancy him, just not sure your theory on him not being bred for the job is rock solid.

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!Beat Hollow is 22 and sired MI when he was 16.
It’s a poor return over fences for a veteran sire
A veteren flat sire or NH sire, Mark.
Given Minella Indo is from his 2013 crop…..being the first NH crop actually supplied by Beat Hollow + Ballylinch i would say that’s a judgement made on little evidence.

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!Don’t do the crazy eyes.
Few ( in comparison) Grade 1 winners over fences will have been sired by a horse 16 or older
His age is far more important than the length of time he’s been covering NH mares.
The distaff side isn’t that impressiveSorry Mark wasn’t meaning to call you crazy i use that face as a confused emoji generally- not the “wacko” it’s coded as.
OK- I suppose we’ll have to agree to disagree on that one. Not that i really fancy the horse.
Peter.h, Bright Forecast is one i am really looking forward to. What a run at Cheltenham, and when you consider the amount of runs he’s had in his career to the likes of Champ, surely he could have more improvement.
I like Battleoverdoyen but i do have a concern about his run at Cheltenham. Potentially could be labelled a one-off but he really ran no sort of race.
Carefully Selected i’ve seen mentioned a lot for the NH Chase, i’d have thought his first target would be here and he’d be in with a great shout.

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!Hi all, I’m a new member.
Personally I’m looking at DALLAS DES PICTONS myself, I liked the Cheltenham run, useless at aintree but that was probably due to the run prior. The debut over fences at Gowran, although he had nothing much to beat its promising to me he got around safely and in heavy going. At 30-40/1 I’m having some nibbles at that, thoughts?
Won’t get to see him run as I’m away walking but let me know how battle runs today …I really think he could be special , I’ve got him in a fair few doubles for the festival at 33-1
I’ve taken a bit of 33s on BOD too, Hills have boosted him nicely too…trading opportunity if nothing else. Not certain he’s one for Cheltenham but on the other hand, one run there isn’t enough evidence.

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!Taken a small amount of 33s
Hoping he looks a decent jumper as he has bucket loads of talent
He just made all and done what he needed to do, very interesting GALVIN a little dissapointing
I cheated and checked the result during the afternoon , early days but I really like this horse , if you watched him over hurdles last year he looked akward , def built for a fence , he’s got a real engine ..the last time I was this excited was when I was holding slips for might bite in the king George at 33-1 ….. Saying the Cheltenham is a long way off
I understand the excitement though, Just his size let alone his win at a canter suggests a very possible RSA winner. Im getting involved as i missed the 33s, Best im seeing is 20/1 at bet 365. He will only go shorter.
Listening to the team behind him I’d be very surprised if he,s not in the RSA , racing post interview said he was one of the last horses brought in and he,ll come on a lot for the run !!
