Was thinking that myself about the weight Garde is carrying. It seems a lot and he didnt win that convincely last time out. However, im going to stick with him as the horse certainly owes me nothing and loves it round Cheltenham.

Nice one mate.

What was Alavian like? Should we be happy with our ante post Trimumph Hurdle coupons Donnelly?

Jumped beautifully and won head in his chest as you would expect him to do in a maiden hurdle. We'll know a lot more after he runs on Stephens' Day but that was very satisfactory.

Managed to get some of that 3/1 about Garde. Christmas came early! Weight doesn't really matter in those Cross-Country races like it does in a conventional handicap. JT gave him a cracking ride - fine horseman. Enda Bolger is some operator.

Your some tipster, keep up the good work

Garde Champetre is some animal. I used to hate them cross country races but have been converted.

Ruby was very unlucky on the Toher One too!

I love it, T O Hare, racing in my blood - you got any winners for us today?

Dont think I have ever seen T O Hare backing a winner. He thought he was getting tips for Portman Park at one stage!

maybe he was being a wee bit sarcastic then, if he does not know the difference between the front and back end of a horse

Nothing to worry Dunguib in the last there at Cheltenham. I don't think either General Miller or Ghizao will trouble him.

its Pepe Simo you need to keep an eye out for DH... thats what I have been told - I think Dunguib would win the champion hurdle myself cos its that good but anyway, we'll see how things pan out

Donnellys Hollow · December 11, 2009, 04:04:43 PM

Pepe Simo has 35 lengths to make up on the bumper form. Washington Irving would be the horse that would concern me. God forbid Dunguib stands on a stone a week before Cheltenham, he'd probably be the one I'd be on.
