    Nothing has even come close to the time getabird clocked on his debut, can't wait to see if willie runs him again before Cheltenham.. Also have small interests in Carter mckay western Ryder and ballyward

        I've just jumped on the getabird bandwagon and put him in with several short priced favs in multiples at his price of 6/1 giving a decent return

            GE has said BBB could be kept to bumpers again this season, with one of the championship bumpers being the aim.

            *Unlikely to be Cheltenham bumper given who the owners are

              Last update I had seen That is disappointing. This says that BBB would be over a hurdle in Feb... not seen todays news. Bit disappointing.

              Willie Mullins' high-class bumper horse Very Much So has been retired, while Gordon Elliott hopes to see Grade One winner Blow By Blow in action next month, as well as Lucky Pass.

                      @V_Binnie_Ryle: GE on Blow By Blow: "I may go back for one of the big Championship bumpers." - At least he wont have to bump into Death Duty for a while.

                        Seems a bit of a waste of a season when it is likely they'll see BBB as a chaser in the long run?

                        I am a bit surprised and disappointed. Giggi don't buy them to win novice hurdles so why not get him in the mix. Seems odd from connections. I guess I could take it as a positive to DD?

                          Anyone heard anymore on Getabird? I vaguely remember hearing that he might not run again before Chelts so not concerned. I'm just surprised he hasn't shortened more based on his previous run. I almost had him down as this years Limini (in terms of a stable banker). I guess another win before now and then will see him 2/1. He makes up a good chunk of my multis.. im just annoyed i missed the 20s before his debut (i have Rubys terrible ride on VVM earlier that day to thank for that)

                            I havent heard anything DeeBee, but as someone who was on Limini in a big way last year, I wouldn't worry as I was having these exact same thoughts last year!! She was still 4/1 and 5/1 at this stage of the season.

                            I'm also on Getabird, and am positive the horse will shorten as we get closer.

                              They always said that Getabird would probably go straight to the Fez.
                              I haven't gone in yet, but need to before the 5/1 goes...
