Just caught up with the Nicky Henderson tour vids. He is very keen on Flinteur Sacre isn't he. Positively drooling. Looks very likely he'll be his Supreme horse to.Comment

Really looking forward to seeing Get In The Queue. Considering backing him (with cash out) before he runs tomorrow. I'm thinking Ballymore considering Fry's comments in his stable tour...Originally posted by ComplyOrDie View PostComment

Looks a stayer indeed even though he beat Ferny Hollow. I’m still in camp Farouk for the AB though but Forged In Fire could take high rank.Originally posted by Ray View PostComment

Backed Ballyadam for Supreme today 2pts @ 16/1 and F d'Alene 1pt @ 40/1 for Albert. Needed to get those in the book so happy now.Comment

Backed FIF for the Ballymore. Can't see Gigginstown chucking every single one of their decent novice hurdlers at the Bartlett, and as Farouk is taking part in a key trial tomorrow for that race I think FIF may be the one for the Ballymore. Of course, this could change, and the one that could force that to happen, IMO, is Eric Bloodaxe.Originally posted by Ray View PostComment

Yeah, I backed him any race yesterday. Couldn't decide which route he would take.Originally posted by isitmarchyet View PostComment

Yeah thats a good point..but if you have more of a stayer then thats that..they wont just split them up for splitting up sakeOriginally posted by ComplyOrDie View PostComment

Loads of blue for F d'Alene For the AB. A few places it’s 40/1 to 25/1 in advance of it running 2m6f tomorrow.Comment

We tend to disagree on the Giggy horses but I can’t see Forged In Fire having the legs for the Ballymore. He had to grind out that win against Ferny Hollow and was under the pump a long way out. He looks an out and out galloper and there are too many horses with more boot that him who are likely to be going for the Ballymore.Originally posted by ComplyOrDie View PostComment

You may well be right, will be interesting to see where he starts.Originally posted by JackieMoon33 View Post
I will say this though, Ferny Hollow had a run under his belt before they met, that was FIF's debut under rules. Ferny Hollow clearly isn't slow, given his Champion Bumper win, and therefore I don't see how FIF can lack boot, after that one run.Comment

They were still learning with Ferny at that point and he kept ducking winning despite travelling best in his first two bumpers. Once they got the tactics right, Ferny was a different horse and I’d have him down to reverse that form with Forged In Fire nine times out of ten.Originally posted by ComplyOrDie View PostComment

Yeah, I mean, I'm not completely discounting what you are saying, but until I see different that was how I saw that race run. I'll look for entries, which should give us more of an idea.Originally posted by JackieMoon33 View PostComment

Entries should be coming soon from JOB as he seemed to be hinting at early November for hisOriginally posted by ComplyOrDie View PostComment

This is just potentially rambling, but is there ever a season where a Gigginstown 'future chaser' isn't well fancied for the Albert Bartlett?
How many of them have actually won?
In the last 10 years, only 1 win - 4 places for the owners - which isn't bad.
If I went back another year it is 2 wins
I'll always, always try and find the owners "most likely" but this race is fooking hard ante post
