Unibet, Henderson’s sponsor, only go 4/1.
November 25, 2022 at 12:46 #1624456Quality horse
The runner up travelled very smooth but once Jet Powered was allowed to stride on he left him for dead in an instanceBlackbeard to conquer the World
November 25, 2022 at 12:49 #1624457“The horses that were brought down seemed to be OK but the other horse broke down very badly. Very sad to see and for the owners.”
Thanks for the update Cork, yeah it wasn’t even over a hurdle was it, it was as they just coming off the final bend into the striahgt, I didn’t see myself whether a horse slipped or fell because it got an injury.
November 25, 2022 at 19:12 #1624485As stated in the other thread i got champ kiely added a while ago, on @ 50s & 33s
But ill be adding in grangeclere west @20/1 also
FV looks top class, but i wouldnt go anywhere near that price, ridiculous
November 25, 2022 at 19:37 #1624488Will grangeclere west be a 2 miler?
Seems to have a stayers pedigree and hes starting over 2m4f
I had him in my mind as very much a ballymore or bartlett type
November 25, 2022 at 20:07 #1624493Not too concerned where he starts off FF as mullins always sais it doesnt really matter the distance they start over, its just important getting them out
In regards to his target and with all the other mullins supreme horses, it depends what facile vega does, champ kiely will win the royal bond next weekend so should be heading here regardless, the rest will depend on the fav
Speculative on GW, but his bumper win in which he had far too much speed for the 140+ rated stayer salvador ziggy, looked to have a very nice turn of foot to me anyway, could be something too look at for the ballymore though, 65s currently, sunday will reveal a bit more anyway!
November 25, 2022 at 23:25 #1624504Ham, you say that on Kiely, but sure Sir G ran around in 2ms and upped to Ballymore….
Bingo ooo oo

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!November 26, 2022 at 07:09 #1624523Ah of course jack, just the way id view it, same as last year it really just depends on what vega does, id actually think theres a bigger chance of vega stepping upto the ballymore, given the CB win
December 3, 2022 at 13:44 #1625538Facile Vega runs in a few minuntes. Anything else then a canter should be worrying.
December 3, 2022 at 13:58 #1625542Very impressive from Facile Vega there, would probably still rather be on Jet Powered at the current odds though seems an easy e/w play does the Henderson horse
December 3, 2022 at 13:58 #1625543Won it easily, as expected.
December 3, 2022 at 16:27 #1625586Nice to see Facile Vega back out and cruising to victory
he does seem to have a high knee action although I’m no expert on those thingsBlackbeard to conquer the World
December 3, 2022 at 18:10 #1625612Was that a “jockeys shall not carry whips” race he won today?

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"December 5, 2022 at 11:42 #1625929I have FACILE VEGA at 7/2 for this and in many multiples. so glad to see it didn’t come out of a canter.
FACILE VEGA – NAP
December 20, 2022 at 14:40 #1627549Barry Connell has just been interviewed on RTV and said he wouldn’t swap Marine Nationale for anything, although he is aware that Facile Vega “could do a Constitution Hill” and obliterate everyone.
In other news, I’m slightly disappointed that Jet Powered isn’t entered in Kempton’s opener on Boxing Day. Henderson often- but not always- runs his best novice in this; he’s got a couple of (in my opinion) the supporting cast entered this year.

Henderson been saying he gets ‘active and busy at home’ so he’s just being given a little more time before he runs again. And he was asked last week which novice hurdlers he was most excited about this year and he said Jet Powered comes to mind.
December 21, 2022 at 12:37 #1627670Thanks for that update, Mike. 👍
