What about Carberry on Linnel? He is one cocky bastard. Will he ever learn his lesson?

Had Linnel backed-just thought horse was unlucky,the bad jump took the steam out of him and then carberry still almost got him up,no problem with the ride!

Defo not blame PC for that one, blunder at the last knocked the wind out of Linnel

Robbie Mc Namara was in a pub a friend works in a few weeks back,apparently he was very sweet on Galileos choices chances at Galway.No clue what day or what race he's in but might be worth keeping an eye for!

Running in a novice hurdle tomorrow-7/2 at the min!

Only 4 going to post in Hatton Grace... Pity. Voler la Vedette, first lieutenant and super ally in the half 3 look decent bets today

Thought Galileos Choice was a little unlucky not to be closer there. He seemed to lose a few lengths on the bend having to pull wide to go around the two mares. I wonder how DK compares him to Waaheb?

I think Final Approach is overpriced in the Hattons Grace. Every chance it will turn into a tactical affair and any horse that wins a Schweppes and a County Hurdle must have plenty of tactical speed.

Also, why no RTÉ coverage? Feckin ATR off to Kelso or for an ad break every three mintues.

Thought VLV done the job well. Still nothing near Hurricane Fly standard though.

Bog Warrior looks like a bit of a machine!

Got a tip for Bog Warrior on Friday but totally forgot about it until I got the paper today at around 2. Thought it was a mistake when I read on that he won by 31 lengths. What happened First Lieutenant?

Belted the fence up by Ballyhack. Russell performed miracles to stay on board.

Gary O'Brien was saying afterwards that Mouse Morris reported that he had bled. Said he is hoping that it happened when he banged his head on the ground after the mistake. He'd have had to gone some to stop the winner anyway.

Cracking young trainer. Looked at one stage to be destined for the top as a jockey but didn't really work out for him. Always follow his raiders in England.
