The year of the comeback?

[Istabraq]

Congrats BOF.
Nicked a little of the 11/4 but only played small (got worried about the drift), thanks for the updates and good luck with whatever plans you have for the future with the horse

[Old Vic]

Well done bof. Money pit no more.

Bay of Freedom - still on the comeback train at Sligo tomorrow evening. He has been going well at home and we are hopeful. http://www.cheltenhamdream.com/blog-diary/

There was a little 6s around last night but that appers to have disappeared this morning, I've nicked some 9/2 which looks to be the best price.....

Was able to get 5/1 this morning and was surprised and delighted by that. We're very hopeful but it's a decent enough race for the grade.

Just grabbed some 9/2 with laddies. Good luck

[Istabraq]

7/2 now there's only 5.
I actually think 7/2 e/w is better value with 5 going to post than 9/2 with 6 runners, there are only two places that pay so I'd much rather take the shorter price and remove a runner.
I also got some 1.75 three places on the fair but the rule 4 now makes that about a 1.40 shot

Thanks for the support guys and sorry for the poor performance; he just did't pick up the it and was looking after himself the whole way around. I am concerned the ulcers have flared up again and he is being tested today - will let you know. Maybe 2017 will be another year of the comeback!

Yeah he didn't look to be jumping fluently, that normally suggests a problem of some sort, he may have jarred himself early on with the quicker ground but after his last performance yiu wil probably be disappointed with yesterday.
Hope you get to the bottom of it and best of luck with him, keep us updated if you can

Looks like the ulcers are fine and other things might have impacted his performance at Sligo. Going at Bellewstown tomorrow and has a squeak on the likely ground. http://www.cheltenhamdream.com/blog-diary/

Going to have to find a different thread: this 'year of the comeback ' thing isn't working. Here's the post mortem/future plans http://www.cheltenhamdream.com/blog-diary/

Plenty of handicaps for staying chasers in Ireland BoF (as you know). A rating of 122 would have got you into Irish National this year.

Thanks for the support Old Vic. He schooled for the first time on Tuesday - here's a short video. He is the 2nd horse (without the white markings on his face) https://vimeo.com/174605647
