ok,thats your view,and you are fully righted to see it that way,but to me,it were two really impressive recoverys,and proof of their respective ability.and for todays example on liberty ben,it takes a jockey of above average ability!so,for that cause,i am happy to stick with him for the past years,and of course in the future.

that was nearly a copy of the ride on monday by andy.this man is purely sensational!this time,it was on liberty ben at fontwell.he is so impressive.i hope,at least this time,it was noticed by some of you.

andy

[andythornton]

quite an improved effort by him.if he can improve his jumping more,he can surely win a smalll race somewhere.

[andythornton]

now,i take a chance with quartz du monceau.i backed him at plumpton on monday,and he departed early,but his last chase form at southwell reads not too bad in the context of this weak race.and milton harris is a shrewd guy,so if can clean out his jumping and theres some money on him,he could be worth a chance at little money.good luck,fellas

IMO charles street is the one to be on at fontwell!top profile,his form was franked,only the hard race last time is a slight worry,but i think,hell do it again!!

[andythornton]

Deepest apologies, I wrongly assumed that English was your first language.

I saw both races but neither ride caught my eye.

ok,there are always differing opinions(which is quite good,of course..),but it stuns me a bit,that those rides didnt impress you.as for me,i follow the N.H. scene for a long time now,but i have seldom seen such great recoverys!but thats ok,mate.i would be happy,if you post here in the future,when a ride(or a recovery) impressed you so much,that you might tell,so that we can share our views.just for the interest.have a great day,

[andythornton]

yes,i feel the same about it.this must be one of the worst courses in racing.on nearly no other course,i had so much losers over the years..its just that you have to be up there from the go,otherwise you have virtually no chance to get involved,because of the undulations and the many bends.yesteday,i had a bet on a few willie mullins horses,who had the definite ability to be involved in the finish,but they were never in the races…i think,that says it all…

[andythornton]

You can’t spell ‘fantastic’!

Es wird als "phantastisch" auf Deutsch buchstabiert, nicht wahr, Andythornton?

gc

ja,es geht beides..ich war wohl so mit dem text beschäftigt,dass ichs nicht bemerkt habe…

[andythornton]

Pretty sure Nicto fell DJ, from what I remember he was about 5 or 6 lengths down in 2nd when he fell at the top of the straight. The pair were clear at the time, personally don’t think he’d have got past the winner but you never know.

Great ride from McCoy at Chepstow too and the kid Fahy on the Williams gamble at the same course.

yes,he fell(i had a few quids on him too..),but he was there with every chance,going just as well as the winner.but hey,thats jumps racing,isnt it?

hi colin!yes,sorry,my fault.but,to be honest:i would find it a little disappointing,if thats the only thing,that sprang to your mind,while reading my post…so,it would be nice,if theres more to come from you..greets,andy

P:S:i come from germany,so sorry,if i dont write everything correctly..

[andythornton]

i spotted something quite interesting in the next at exeter:despite the alners have two horses with chances in the race,their main jockey andrew thornton is on another one,the risky viking for nick williams.maybe a good sign?…make your mind s up,guys..the horse has course form,ok it might be a bit short for him,after winning the marathon chase here earlier in the year,but to me,hes some eachway value!

[andythornton]

hi folks!the gold cup looks qutie competitive,but i will stick with my old friend mahogany blaze,who has a solid profile,jumps well,and is honest to the bone.also,the fitness shouldnt be a problem,with nigels horses regularly in top shape.good luck

andy

yes,these are stories,only racing writes!!the horse,thats put paddy brennans career on the map,beats him today!!thats life,guys..but great for the small trainer community,that shows anythings possible,with the right horse.

yes,looks very good and competitive.also easy to navigate.im happy about it..

[andythornton]

i think,quartz de monceau has a good chance now.his novice hurdles form was against good horses,and and his fencing bow was not too bad either..some eachway value maybe..
good luck

[andythornton]

Hi Andy
Sorry mate I only saw your post a few minutes before the off and didn’t have enough time to think about it
I was on it in spirit though

the next race at plumpton looks quite open with some "dark horses" competing,but i think,alderluck will run very well,as he won very well last season on this course(with my friend andy thornton on board..).as i said before,nick giffords horses have hit some form now,and if he can handle the ground and is fit enough to do himself justice,hes a valuable bet.and there was a lot of similarity,speed concerning,to his father alderbrook,when he won.but i will keep it to small stakes,as there is too much guessing involved..good luck

andy

[andythornton]

Hi Andy,
Well done mate good call
Good price too I thought !

hi ethan!thank you very much.i hope,you had him too.if i find another good one,i will let you know..

[andythornton]

The Charlie Hall was on Saturday.

yes,you are right,sorry!!it sprang to my mind,just as i sent it off..my fault.which race did you like most at the weekend?
