    Thanks bud. She had an allergic reaction yesterday, then reacted to the medicine for that today. Was up until 4am last night with her as she was throwing up every 10 minutes.

    Kept her on a bit of boiled chicken tonight and this was just a check up to see that she had kept it down and she seems to be progressing, the vet was happy with her though so hopefully I can sleep tonight and I don't have too much more vomit to clean up

      Sounds like she’s had a rough time bless her (and you for that matter) . Fingers crossed she’s on the mend soon.

              Watched it back, he did say he loves him, so comment withdrawn

              Still stand by the lukewarm comment, but with Willies lot you rarely get much more than that anyway.

                When Jennings started the Ballymore discussion he began by saying let's assume Ballyburn goes for the Supreme. More than a slant, and resulted in very little chat about Ballyburn actually being in the Ballymore. Far more talk about Ile Atlantique. It seemed to me that Jennings was doing his level best to push the horse.

                The most interesting moment for me was Townend taking what seemed like an age to answer the question would the Ballymore be an easier race for Ballyburn? After all that thinking he still got the answer wrong. Deliberately?

                  Ballyburn shortening right up for the supreme and drifting again for BB. Mystical power also shortening significantly for baring Bingham. Anything said tonight?

                    Short write up of our preview evening....


                    Obvious but Ballyburn wins whatever race he goes too. Odds on that that's the Supreme

                    Gaelic Warrior has to go Arkle to have any chance of winning a race at Cheltenham. Majority against Marine. Quilixios nice EW price

                    Facile Vega needs to be stepped up to Turners to have the best chance of winning this year

                    Lossiemouth wins.

                    Nara 'interesting' in Boodles

                    Ginny's Destiny Turners

                    Envoi Allen Ryanair . Stage Star danger. Banbridge NR

                    Galopin wins but Gentlemansgame the potential spoiler

                    Sir Gino wins though Henderson form a slight worry. Bunting best of Irish

                    Embassy and Ziggy in NHC. Corbetts bad prep. Kilbeg king EW

                    ​​​​​​​Brighterdaysahead beats Jade

                    ​​​​​​​FTF could be vulnerable in Soft ground over new distance to SAF

                    State Man wins. C Hill will not make the gaff

                    Teahupoo wins. Irish should run here

                    Sa Majeste wins whatever race he runs in

                    Stumptown huge chance in Ultima . The Goffer to run well again

                    Dinoblue most vulnerable of shorties . Won't get home in soft. Liberty to pick up pieces

                    Maughreen Bumper

                    ​​​​​​​Premier Magic/It's on the line

                    ​​​​​​​IL Atlantique and Slade Steel Ballymore


                    ​​​​​​​

                      • Robbie Power believes Ballyburn & Tullyhill run in the Supreme - so Slade Steel to Baring Bingham

                          Do you think he did it deliberately just to wind you up ?

                          Seems to be causing you some anxiety this "which race" thing for this horse.
                          I am completely on your side with regards his breeding and him being more of a stayer on paper.

                          I really hope he runs in the Baring Bingham for your sake.

                          But it's worth remembering that you can always lay your stake off, and there was plenty of opportunity to get on him for the supreme at much bigger prices than he's ever been for the BB. The signs were there for quite a while. I assume you haven't by the tone of your comments on the subject. If you have then cool

                            I understand your sentiments I really do but to be fair Q the discussion around Ballyburn has been littered with pocket talk for weeks now and so calling out KB for it when many others have been doing exactly the same thing relentlessly seems possibly a little harsh? though I’m sure you have good reason. I don’t do a diary but I will happily declare my hand , he is an 18 point return for me in the supreme and a 140 point return in the Ballymore and I have purposely stayed out of the debate as a consequence.

                              Have you laid off your ballymore bet ?

                                I don’t think I can really afford to without taking funds from other opportunities. It’s just one reality of having less funds available than ideal. I got the horse wrong and I’m likely going to suck it up and move on. If it wasnt for a couple of roll ups my supreme return would be zero. Tbf I was due a bad supreme. I thought his bumper form was overrated and I didn’t think he’d be pacey enough for the supreme. I haven’t got cash out either so all in all I’m just left with hope. My ballymore return is only what it is because I used a load of 2 point hills free bets on him early doors. IA is actually my biggest BB winner so it’s all swings and roundabouts in the end my friend
