Been waiting to see this horse for over a year since his one run for Timmy Hyde.

[bridge fan]

disappointing but really had no assistance from jockey he is a clown whick made me not lose so much on him but i said befor im never backing him on a horse again and by god i mean it this time  that will be the last  time

Ah JP is alright!

Some of his inspiring efforts on Rhinestone Cowboy are still fresh in the memory.

I see Wandering Angus is out tomorrow. He beat Cheltenian on his only previous start. Big day too for Rubi Light. Looks like he'll take all the beating in the Durkan.

Been for wandering Aengus to run again after he ruined my bet on Cheltenian last year    I'd say the bookies will be taking no chances with his price!

It not that a wont back shorties lads because i have and will do, but I just laugh when the paper fav is posted up here as a tip

To be fair that's why I was in no panic to back Ice Factor. 6/4 would have made it hardly worth my while.

The next race at Punchestown should be interesting (2:05) all the tipsters are going for Rubi Light but i've a we liking for Joncol (not a tip )

Based on your advice I went for Rubi Light. Cheers.

Surprised he's such a big price for the Lexus after that win. I thought it was a serious performance. He could well be a Gold Cup horse. He's definitely the most interesting of the Irish trained horses.

Dylan Ross?Felt he could've won myself but i had it backed as well so wouldn't exactly be unbiased!

[Donnellys Hollow]

I wouldn't be underestimating Culloty's horse. He has a lot less experience than Dylan Ross but looks tough out and was always holding him. Dylan Ross looks like another of Meade's early season novice hurdlers. They look like superstars beating rubbish in maidens but once the big yards get their better ones out coming up to Christmas, a lot of them fall by the wayside. That said, Corbally Ghost won a strong looking race down at Mallow today. Sword Of Destiny should have his mettle tested next Sunday if he takes on Mount Benbulben.

If anybody actually believes his 'excuse' than they need their heads seeing to. Clearly went to ride the horse out after what he thought was the last.

Did himself no favours with that excuse.
