any tips this evening lads?

Not a tip but noticed there's plenty of money behind Robbie Hennessy's in the first at Tipperary. Second behind Pitoni at Punchestown during the winter. Surely a reproduction of that run would be good enough to win a summer maiden hurdle at Limerick Junction?

Watched the 2-30 at Ascot there.
Anybody got the result?

I'm writing off the rest of the week for Ballydoyle. You simply can't back them at the moment unless there's significant money behind them.

Can't keep them hoors down for long.

France

Flat jockey Christophe Soumillon — taking only his second ever ride over hurdles — finds the early gallop a bit too slow for his liking and decides to make a mockery of the jumps jockeys.

By the way, this isn't a shitty handicap, it's the 2010 French Champion Hurdle.

Incroyable!

That really is hilarious how easy he won France's biggest Hurdle race.

Best part is when he throws his whip into the crowd and also when the other horses cross the line everybody is booing!

Paddy Power is refunding losing bets if the current favourite (Major Phil) wins. Currently 8/1 from 14/1.
