But not a word good bad or indifferent on the ITV post race interview from Nicholls/”PH” about her at all, all about the horse…..
Mister Allegro withdrawn from the sales and from the Wetherby race.
That mares hurdle didn’t produce much, Harris’s horse Aliomaana was one paced and Ramure ran poorly
Mister Allegro won a nursery off 48 for Mark Johnston last season and while his first appearance for Anthony Honeyball was reasonable, his next two outings along with his modest overall level of form saw him start at 40/1 on his hurdling debut at Ludlow. Nevertheless, there was potential for his new career in his profile and he adapted very well to his new vocation with a fluent round of jumping. While he drifted from a morning show of 9/4 to 4/1 at flagfall, he was still sent off the second favourite. Slightly keen in the early stages, Mister Allegro immediately put his stamp on the race and with quick jumping, passed the stands with a lead of over half-a-dozen lengths. Reigned in slightly on entering the back, his advantage was whittled down to within a length when getting a breather on the turn for home. Nevertheless, a quick leap at the penultimate flight saw him re-establish his advantage and his acceleration from the hurdle put the race to bed as he went on to pass the line a comprehensive seven length winner. The degree to which the switch to hurdles has animated Mister Allegro can not be understated. Since 2004/05, just 38 of the 2,122 juvenile hurdlers rated 50 or below on the flat would win more than once; with only a handful exceeding what Mister Allegro has already achieved. Though he already looks close to the finished article, there may yet be further to come. Interestingly, he is entered in the upcoming Tattersalls Horses-in-Training sale. Should he take up his entry at Newmarket, he is sure to fetch a fair deal more than the 13,000 guineas paid for him last year. 123
Mister Allegro is entered in the listed juvenile hurdle race at Wetherby on Friday with Anthony Honeyball stating on his website “He has certainly earned the chance to step up in class while ground conditions are in his favour.”.
I could see a big price paid at the sales by a top name should he win well there.
On a personal note there was £7.54 accumulated in my Skybet acccount from various “spin the wheel/kick the ball” nonsense, I put it on Mister Allegro antepost for the Triumph at 33/1 to find after acceptance they are saying I can have no more after such a heavy punt….. Unless they are thinking what I’m hoping.
BTW 40/1 Bet365 for Triumph.
It’s seemed to me that Nicholls has wanted rid of her for a while, she only rides certain horses from certain owners and most of the time rides everything Lucy Wadham puts out.
And someone else has gone to the press with historical allegations….
Purely speculative but did this go away as quietly as it seemed at the time ?

Yes which conveniently links us up with another case of a trainer being warned off a few weeks back………..
“Frankie Dettori offered an excuse for her below-par performance afterwards – well, he seemed to blame Hollie Doyle for setting too steady a pace”.
Self indulgent/entitled old fart. Time to hang up the saddle and sell ice cream fella.
Perhaps there is an opportunity to start laying them as Salut A Toi says!
I did ! 2000 to 200 on the exchange.
Also a mention for Eglantine Du Seuil who got beaten at 1/12 in a novice chase as recently as last week.
Who was 1/33 the evening before when the prices came up !!!
Ha, funny you start a thread like this.
Did me bo**ox constantly since having £5 on Cool Ground in the 1992 Gold Cup got me addicted- until 2006 when I had to walk 6 miles home in the rain to no food in the cupboard due to having no money. And had £20K of debts.
Came back to the game (won’t explain circumstances) in 2018. And on Friday last I laid Nicholl’s nag at 1/10 with a liabilty of £200. £2000 to me then. Biggest win ever.
He’s a boll*x beyond compare, end of.
But if all of us were to start a thread full of anecdotal evidence where “sentencing guidelines” were actually used to the maximum extent horse cruelty would be last on the list.
Watch Police Interceptors or Motorway Cops on the telly and see the sentences after when human people are nearly left with their gizzards hanging out.
The system can’t even do justice to humans so what can be expected.
