The Horse racing thread

[the greatest jockey]

On the point of the three week delay, your argument is not too succinctly made.


Insult my wordsiness then..haha

rubi light made it difficult enough for golden silver then, mullins thinks he could be a ryanair horse, hasnt performed at all well at cheltenham before but seems to have improved this season

[Donnellys Hollow]

Townend thinks they've been riding Golden Silver wrong at Cheltenham. He reckons the horse is much better held up and that they've been making far too much use of him over in England where they go like sh1t off a shovel up front with brainless muppets like Tom Scudamore always forcing a suicidal pace. It'll be interesting to see if those tactics pay off because he proved at Punchestown that he's far from a mud lark and he can handle good ground. I think he's a solid wager at 16s for the Ryanair. Mullins holds a very strong hand with J'y Vole a likely runner as well.

As for the Kauto Star story today, Nicholls is full of sh1t as always. Before the race he was harping on to anyone who'd listen about how Clifford Baker thought the horse was better than ever. Post-race the horse has lost some of its speed and he's not getting any younger. He always has a littany of excuses when one of his better horses gets beaten. He never seems to just take it on the chin and move on. Every time the man farts between now and Cheltenham the Racing Post will run a four page spread on it.

Any fancies today?  Magic of the sea won quite easily last time out so I'll have a few quid on that in the 3.50 i think.

Big gamble on Pipe's in the bumper at Taunton

[118cmal]

Which one 

He has three in it.

[Donnellys Hollow]

Only has one down the bottom - Bathwick Brave.

I'm not one for backing big on unraced bumper horses but he gets all the allowances as a 4yo and wouldn't have to be anything special to win this race. Old man Pipe used to always bring out his good young horses at Taunton. Added bonus of Johnny Farrelly on board with Scudamore sidelined at the moment.

[Up The Middle]

Off cousre it won, you know why, cause i didnt f**king back it.

Have to say i take a look at this page regularly and it amazes me how much Baron and Donnellys know about horses and racing, it really is a science, as opposed to clowns like me who couldnt pick their nose.

Keep the tips coming lads.
