Typical Bolger. When he gets one on the go he cant stop plundering prizemoney. Tropical Lady at her peak was running every week last summer! (Like M Hourigan with Beef Or Salmon. Raced him all over the place, even talking of racing him in Flat handicaps. Never thought of gearing a campaign to the Gold Cup but always went for it anyway because it was so valuable.)
Treating Teofilo like a handicapper.
I always find it amusing that people who are willing to gamble hundreds and, in many cases, thousands of pounds in a month will still debate the ‘value’ in the (relatively puny) cost of a tv channel or newspaper.
Film Festival is in the Goffs HIT on October 27th. Whether or not he, or the one immediately preceding him in the catalogue (Kerdem, runaway winner of a hcap at Fairyhouse last weekend, now rated 100 and engaged in a Listed race this weekend), will now fulfil that engagement is anyone’s guess.

stumbled and fell over hurdle on way to start, close 2nd, led after 3 out, ridden and headed next, no extra from before last <br>
The pages don’t turn as easily as the Post on first reading – very tiresome! :biggrin:

<br>ew,<br>hughie morrison is far from the most underrated trainer (especially on this forum)
whenever the question of underrated trainers comes up his is always the first name mentioned!

I got a figure of 116 for Mustameet but I wouldnt trust it. Aside from the fact that I am a relative novice at time ratings it has to be borne in mind there weren’t enough suitable races to ‘standardise’ it against on Sunday (only really Bush Maidens over CD). The shorter races were run on the straight course against the near rail and the longer races on a different section of the round course. Given the added variable of watering I suspect these races might as well have been run on different tracks.
Also, I use published standard times (not enough data yet to determine my own) and I suspect my source’s 12 furlong standard is ‘out’ (or more probably the stalls or rails were moved).
