Sorry I missed your post Zilzal, had a fiver on Dingle as have plenty of connections down there, and they seemed unusually confident; thought the bet was in until that amazing equalizer.
When I was young and impecunious student I had an antepost 2 singles and double on Monksfield (14-1) Champion Hurdle, and Bective Road (33-1) Triumph hurdle. That must have been the year the final day was postponed; I’d given up on Bective road, but as the meeting was postponed the bective Road bet was void and the double became another single on Monksfield. So long ago, I may have the sequence wrong, but i clealry remember the pay-out!
Apparently Sir Gino’s next run will be in CH; another cotton-wool job, one of the reasons NH racing has become a shadow of past glories.
Even allowing for lack of race fitness and yard form, that wasn’t the same GDC that has dominated the division for the last few years; as Willie said, ‘3-mile chasing is hard on a horse,’ as is Anno Domini.
I hope he does go for the DRF, as it’s a big prize in it’s own right, the biggest prize in Irish NH racing, and the public love him. Cheltenham is not the only show in town, and the obsession with the festival has had a pernicious effect on the rest of the season.Sorry about that Zilzal; I learned early in my gambling that the responsibilty for a tip lies with the person who accepts it!! Scotstown really blew it at the end, really do fancy Kilcoo now
Have my crumpled fiver on Kilcoo, but for sentimental reasons be quite happy to see Scotstown win; some real gnarly veterans there, could be their last chance
The spectacle of Trump and the Peace Prize; it’s like giving a toddler a shiny toy. Kinda sums up FIFA
Like everyone else, I’ve underestimated him; unprepossessing, efficient rather than spectacular jumper, always seemed to be Willie’s second string. But that was impressive today, altho Jonbon perhaps not the force of old
