    That performance by

    Medermit

    on Saturday was good enough to Win a Ryanair Chase!Simple as that,quirks or not,if he turns up in March and gets the gallop he got on what i would describe as over-watered ground in the same form as Saturday he will be bang there and at 20/1 he is way over-priced imo of course.

    And what about our old favourite, Gord?

    He nearly sneaked us a place.

    Bos,i was cursing! If only he learnt that you are supposed to find at least something when you come off the bridle,he ran exactly as we thought though! He’s got No chance in a level weight Ryanair……Has he Bos? :shock:

    What you think of JUNGLE BEAT a horse that is trained by Gosden and owned by Tabor and the gang same colours as Seville he is.I find him a intresting horse i do.

    Never been a fan of

    Storm Cats

    progeny Darren,i dont think he’ll stay either to be honest.

    Swedish sailor

    did win his maiden well,i liked the Cecil/Abdulla colt that day,he will stay no problem but its early days yet.

    Good to see a positive bulletin from Gordon Elliott on Jessies Dream. If he runs I’d have him as a place banker and one of the main dangers to Quito De La Roque.

    Interesting you say that Tommy as i see

    Magnanimity

    as a ‘Dark horse’ for The Gold Cup and he too is a Gigginstown horse like Quito,Jessies Dream is closely matched on form with him.

    Gord have you got any horses to win the derby next year at big prices.CAMELOT is my main bet am on at 25/1.But i think with the horses that are a big price now.Like BONFIRE,JUNGLE BEAT,
    SWEEDISH SAILOR and IMPERIAL MONARCH.Darkhorse at ballydoyle he is.
    any lighty raced horses you like for the big race at Epsom.

    I just cant see

    Camelot

    being a Derby horse at all,a Guineas winner Yes!

    Bonfire

    ,i like a lot,the Mill Reef colours though would be the only connection to winning The Derby imo Darren,11/4m yes but these ‘Night Shift’ sorts have more speed than Stamina,was

    Azamour

    really a 11/2m horse? Not imo.A horse i was waiting to see was called

    Biographer

    he is owned by the

    Masked Marvel

    connections and has a Derby entry but again his breeding is questionable.

    Imperial Monarch

    did catch the eye at the Curragh and is related to 2 Derby winners in Galileo and Slip anchor,he’ll be a leger sort i’m sure,too much stamina for a Derby winner! The horse i like most but isn’t entered in The Derby is the Godolphin French Colt called

    Mandaean

    ,now he has a look about him!

    Back to business,just had a word with TAPK and he agrees that

    Medermit

    has Ryanair written all over him,he says he’s just taken the 100’s about the Gold Cup too on the machine for a couple of quid.Having watched the replay of Saturdays race from several angles i do believe Medermit was an unlucky loser and if the field for this seasons Ryanair turned up now i would imagine 8/1 would be offered about his chances,he stayed on very well as did ‘Imperial Commander’ before winning both The Ryanair and Gold Cup,this fellow could easily be a Gold Cup horse too! 2013 hopefully.

    Medermit

    £100 e/w 20/1 Betfred, Ryanair,Cheltenham.

    £7800

    I really hope these are just stories and not true.

    Ginger,you have lead a sheltered life but then again you were born with hair the colour of Satans ring! :twisted: :twisted: The only qualifications i left school with were a PHD in Sex,Horseracing and Wine,i later achieved a City and Guilds in Photography.My 1st job as a 15yo was a Window cleaning round i created myself by knocking on doors,i didn’t realise at the time i suffer from bloody Vertigo,30 yrs on i still use ladders and suffer the same effects! :shock: I learnt more about Women doing that job for 2 years than i have in a lifetime.For no apparent reason instead of paying me 50p for doing upstairs,i used to get these 40yo’s who would ply me with rum in my coffee and do me upstairs! You ever tried climbing up and down a bloody ladder when yo knees are still tremblin? :lol: From Window cleaning i turned my hand to being an Ice Cream man.As a 17yo i never realised that Ice Cream men had their ‘Patches’ and you respected that,of course me havin ‘Anarchy in the UK’ as my ring tone (only Jokin) would go wherever i felt like it,i remember one ocassion taking a girl for a ride out in the Van,we ended up in the woods at Carsington Water where she enjoyed a ’99’,whilst she was enjoying the purple end of my ‘Zoom’ and having a ‘Fab’ time deep in the forest a bunch of bloody walkers came along thinking we were there to sell refreshments,i told them to P*ss off! God knows why they thought an Ice Cream Van in the middle of the woods was there for any other reason than Sex!I remember this Italian guy who had most of the estates covered,his Ice Cream was proper hand made stuff where as mine was Cream poured through a freezer and machined out in a Mr Whippy fashion anyway i knew his calls like clockwork so i thought i’d sneak in 5 minutes before he arrived and pinch all the school kids trade,the kids loved it as i was chuckin 100’s and 1000’s red juice and flakes into every thing any way he saw this so he tried to shoot off to the next stop before i had finished there,it was like a staggered effect until we both joined the country lane to the next village,it was like sitting on a Grand Prix grid waiting for the green light as we both knew that the kids would be waiting at the next stop about 2 miles away,off we sped he got a flyer in his Van whilst my bag of Sh*t struggled to keep up,i saw my chance to overtake him and went for it my van was wallowing all over the road and the cream liquid was swishing everywhere all over the inside windows and floor of my van,we went round this slight bend and the Cream was running out the bottom of the doors onto the main road,i was leaving a massive trail of yellow down this road and Gianfranco was not for letting me in,i eventually lost control and ploughed straight through a hedge into a farmers field,the van was a mess both inside and out.Funnily enough i remember vividly a couple of kids coming up and asking for an ice cream,i of course obliged but as i pulled the lever to try and create the famous swirl all i remember was an explosion of ice cream going everywhere the kids got the biggest ice creams ever.I decided to try something else after that!

    One of these days you’re going to come across something like that old Bo Selecta face woman in Shameless. She will swing you about like a freaking tennis raquet.

    :lol: :lol: :lol:
    Sh*t it was YOU! I remember the Big ‘S’ on her girdle,the GOLD pillow cases,the GOLD teaspoon from Skegness,the ‘GOLDFINGER’ DVD and of course the GOLD framed photo of….. ‘GOLDIKOVA’! It was a pleasure to service the great mare! :shock:

    Riding out a finish a circuit too soon is not uncommon at Fakenham.

    And like you say Paul,had the decency to apologise.Where Samuel has totally cocked up is now every time he is interviewed,nobody will believe a word he says….’So Sam, Long Run will be running in the 2013 Grand National’ er Yeh he replys, and will DICK Pitman be in the saddle? :shock:

    There should not be as much between the two as the market suggests. Quito in my opinion does not have double the chance of Rubi.

    Oh yes he does! (said in typical Panto voice),The Lexus winner is a horse who i would describe as a Gold Cup type I believe Rubi Light is a Ryanair sort and if it came up heavy (No chance) he would be fav for this seasons event.Stamina will be his downfall over a heavy 3m imo.

    Can’t quite see Medermit being good enough for the Ryanair

    REALLY?….

    …. The Tote go a massive 20/1,that is way too big for a horse who certainly gets up the hill.

    As I said, "can’t

    quite

    see Medermit being good enough". That doesn’t mean he has no chance at all. To be value at 20/1 you obviously only need to believe he has a better than 5% chance of winning. So you probably have got some value there Gord.

    So what price do you associate a horse with No chance then Ginge? I think

    Medermit

    has a 100% chance of being placed,like i did on Saturday and i would say i think he has a 99% chance of winning,if i thought a horse only had a 5% chance of winning i wouldn’t bet on it,thats like saying if Medermit ran in the Ryanair a 100 times i would be happy if he won it 6 times (1% more chance than 5%) :wink: No i would be gutted,if i think he can win it once then thats all he has to do so thats why i would be so confident at 99%,the 1% doubt is if he gets mugged again!
