Earth Magic & Sweet Klin 24/01/08 At gowran there was no money for Earth magic at all but hung on well in the end at 14/1 SK was 15/8??
is Lunaos running in this? if so she must have a great shot!!! and sweet klin wont be to far away either
narrowed it down to a short list of errrr 33…..but do fancy Over the Creek and Bewleys Berry – also must back Point Barrow; would feel awful if, having backed him last year he came out and won this year…do agree with Comply or Die, but there must be an Irish horse lurking about somewhere that nobodies noticed..could it be Ursumman???
Chelsea Harbour 33/1
I like Bewleys Berry and McKelvey but will wait nearer the time will back Chelsea Harbour Ante-Post!!
someone wrote before on here that Coolmore were a money operating machine and they found Fallon to be a great judge of horse and look at their record!! maybe MS knows something we dont would not be surprised if they have a very good season watch out for those 2yo…
Surprise, surprise !
Ruby Walsh has opted to ride Kauto Star in this year’s Cheltenham Gold Cup over Denman.
We all knew he would anyway.
I may be in the minority, but I think Sam Thomas is more suited to Denman in any case. His ride aboard the big horse in the Hennessy was near flawless.
as he said how can you get off a GC winner!!!
in he hennessy take nothing away from Thomas but that day i thought it was all about the horse
i know this is about who is better, but if they were to meet up in their prime
at this seasons festival would your heart rule your wallet??loved Baracouda, but ID is some machine….
How do you deduce a jockey with a 9% strike rate in an overall weak looking championship is good? Willie Ryan won a Derby, Andrew Thornton a Gold Cup – are they top class jockeys too in your estimation?
Geraghty doesn’t seem to be interested in taking higher order in the riding ranks in Ireland these days – he is not chasing rides and has no interest in the title – if he was I imagine he would be champion.
There is no evidence that Harchibald is the "offender" – Carberry clearly obsesses about holding onto the horse too long in a race instead of trying to win a race earlier on him.
Put McCoy on Harchobald and you would see a different horse.
you said AM was Useless look at his record and seeing he only started really 03/04 it’s a great record for an up and coming Jockey….
how do you no Geraghty is not chasing rides? look at irish cards over the season you will find his name on most days he can ride do you know his agent? i do and he would never come out with a comment like "he’s not intrested" you have just made this up cause he prob lost you money
so you know better than PC & his Trainer NM??
it seems you made a post (with no substance i might add) and to make your post seem valid threw in a few comments that are total rubbish to make your post seem you know what your talking about.
butt still funny
":1d851dd0]Andrew McNamara’s stats tell the story.[/b:1d851dd0] Picking out one race when he managed to capitalise on the even greater ineptitude of Daryl Jacob won’t convince me.
By Geraghty not bothered, you only have to look at where he is in the elague table these days – I wouldn;t be surprised to see him jack it in soon and go training as he already has the establishment I understand.
Paul Carberry is a showboater who gets it wrong on too many occasions on fancied animals for my liking.
I know he is a legend in Ireland, but the blind loyalty his fans show him ignore the fact that he is more into how he looks than getting the race won. Harchibald in the Champion Hurdle the arch example of this!
AM = his stats do tell story of champ chase in england & ireland melling chase a henessey to name but a few and considering he only really started 03/04 thats some achievment
BG = and you know he isint bothered how?
PC = it’s well know fact its Harchibald rather than him look back to x-mas hurdle this year with staw bear the horse doesnt like a fight….
still funny
Davidbrady, the fact remains, Murphy got rid of him because he couldn’t cut it. And it was at a time when Murphy’s yard was going through a lean spell too.
As for winning the Irish title, I am not dissing Irish jockeys, just the standard of the one’s who stay at home. The best NH jocks riding are Irish, no question. Its a simple truth that the best ones, bar Walsh are over here. And considering Walsh spends most Saturdays and big race days in UK, Russell is only just about keeping ahead of him (and this with a long time on the sidelines fro Walsh through injury).
Geraghty doesn’t seem too bothered anymore. Carberry is well past his prime. Casey is also another who tried to make it in the UK but was no good, Andrew McNamara is next to useless and Denis O’Regan is now UK based. Real strength in depth there!
I stand by my Rindoon remark – Ruby had found the key to the horse, Russell sits on him, decks him and kills the horse. Cailin Alainn is lucky to be alive the way he decked her at Chelt twice.
BG = went to limerick boxing day giving up a few decent rides at leopardstown to ride Lunaos
PC = Past his Prime you say? not going to bother here
AM = Beef or Slamon catching The Listner in the Henessey
your post is funny?
prob wait till nearer the time, always hear a few good words nearer the race tony martin has a few decent one’s of low weights, chelsea harbour won a trial for it the other day at P’stown 33-1 at moment….again will wait nearer the race
i see Beef or Salmon heads the weights that has to rule him out?
Chlesea Harbour won well in a National trial yesterday, huge price for the English National at moment could be good e/w chance think we are going to get a good race this year!!
The Scream team = Claire Balding and Willie Carson
This pairing is guaranteed to make you scream, throw in Jodie Kidd and some pompous ‘fashion bloke’ at Ascot and keep making jokes about ‘little willie’.
The BBC = Possibly the worst racing show in the world.
FORGOT ABOUT THAT FASHION BLOKE ARRAGGHHHHHHH
Has any of you (apart from Irish Posters) seen Ruby Walsh’s Father Ted do the Commentry on Irish Tv?? well if not i think you would find him very funny and never afraid to say what he thinks and RTE’s racing would not be the same without him…….
Don’t really like to see racehorses (especially the classier ones) wear nosebands (aesthetic reasons, more than anything) though it didn’t do the likes of Mill Reef, L’Escargot and Red Rum any harm.

Yes, Jessica’s class two miler as well. How could I forget?
Easy it’s Monday…..
