St Nichols Abbey out to 4/1, when does he start becoming value?

weapons amnesty looks set to miss next years gold cup with an injury sustained in the years rsa, just shows what a gruelling race that truely is

[Donnellys Hollow]

There must be huge doubts over whether SNA will run at all now. They wouldn't have bothered leaving both Galileo colts in the race this morning if they weren't worried about his participation.

Disappointing about Weapons Amnesty but I doubt he's within a stone of Gold Cup class anyway. The only novices that I can see possibly stepping up to that level are Sicknote Europe and Mad Max.

Expect him to be carted off to stud fairly sharpish á la Footstepsinthesand.

All the warning signs are there. APOB saying in his statement this morning that "we always thought SNA could walk on water" but no mention of hoping to have him back for the Curragh or Sandown Park in a months time.

Love it homer!

[Louth Exile]

Class, Barney the Legend & a gentleman. His charity is to my mind, by far and away the most worth of all third world aid charities.

Barney Curley truly is a great guy, I hope he publishes another book before he retires.

Nicely done BB.

Beer Baron and Boojangles have been doing the Cavan men proud of late. Could be an interesting idea to set up a gaaboard All-Ireland tipping challenge.
