Orchard park

13 runners from 30 for one trainer .

High end NH racing is gone to be a f**king joke..... a monopoly of elliott and willie.

Mallow much more entertaining today for the normal man in street

Indeed. Handy little winner there today for Adrian Maguire and son Finian.

Mallow will always be Mallow not Cork racecourse and the Junction will always be the Junction and not Tipperary

Adrian had one placed also.....a great horseman like his brother in law but an awful battle to survive

Elite NH is gone like the flat classics

There may be some chance when the economy is picking up and small trainers can make a bit from point to points and maybe selling on some animal with potential but if things go down paying training fees will be well down people's priority

Had a fiver on tiger roll, simply because of davy russell, he's some man for one man. Another couple of strides and davy mullins would've had it, some finish.

Mad horse! 16 hands only, smallest horse ever to win?

Mrs Playwiththewind drew Tiger Roll in her office sweep. Put a tenner on it at lunchtime  for her. Collected the winnings....she gave me my  tenner back. That's  a hard lesson learned.

Punchestown should be a bit of craic. Be good to see how Sharjah goes in the Novice hurdle at a big price and finally gets decent ground, i'd say he's going to run a nice race.
Joeys 2 in the handicap hurdle HousesofParliament and Ivanovic Gorbatov i think are handicapped on bad ground form at this stage and could also run nice on the ground if it is as good as i hear it could be.
The Champion chase is a deadly race, don't think i could have a bet at all just sit back and enjoy  :D

There was a difference in 500 in attendance which can be attributed to the weather. Unless you've another stat to back up the fact that punters are being turned off? Everyone goes to see a horse win, whether it was a 20/1 outsider or not, maybe Draconien just had his day today. What a load of dung about trainers, Dublin are dominating GAA, is the All Ireland Final attendance down???

Stewards Report:

"Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the stewards were of the opinion that P. Townend was in breach of rule 214 in that he had ridden dangerously and, having considered his record in this regard, the stewards suspended him for 21 racedays and ordered that he forfeit his riding fee."

Can't find any comment yet from Townend or Mullins
