Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2019

worked it out now, you click on the race date now.
 
I'd have to check the times and watch them again but I rate Thomas Darby higher for now, as his win was franked and he looked like he had loads in hand, and enjoyed the trip on the track. And he had a really good actual race, all out with DTLYOU the next time.
I did dismiss the cheltenham race to begin with though as early season fodder, but had a rethink since

Anyone use ATR for form etc, they've been fucking about with the Font every other day and now you can't hyperlink to race properly anymore.

Visually I prefered Thomas Darby but thought it was interesting!

Do any of the websites have ALL the form now/.... I always used to use Sportling Life for video form. There is only Bet365 that I can see now but it's a small screen without much info and hard to navigate too.

Do ATR only have the ATR tracks and RUK the same still?
 
Brewin’upastorm getting an entry in the Tolworth. That’s two of my Novices going head to head of Eldorado Allen goes as well.

Yep ATR have all irish and some other and RUK the rest, sporting Life has them also.

It was just when looking at a horses race results, previously you could click on the result column and it would go to that race result in full with future form etc. But now you have to click on the date of the race on the far left column to get this up. On ATR I mean.
 
Sporting Life, Kev?

Right, am I being totally mental, or has that only just come back on Sporting Life?

I've actually been incredibly slack in watching replays because they'd all disappeared when they changed the website!



You klnow that INCREDIBLE feeling you have when you fiond something that's been lost - like "oh my God, where is my phone..." and then you find it and your entire body sighs with relief? I feel that good.

Been there the whole time. I use it daily.

I couldn't be happier. They 100% disappeared for me. Maybe it was browser related or something perculiar.
 
birchdale could be one to watch.

Leading owner JP McManus bought Birchdale (12.50) privately after the four-year-old won his sole point in his native Ireland back in March. The gelding is reported to be working well at Nicky Henderson’s Lambourn yard and Barry Geraghty crosses the Irish Sea for the ride.

He got a favourable mention in both the RP and Unibet stable tours. Saying that, Clarenden Street, who also runs was also spoken of positively as well.

If they’re both starting off over this trip today you’d have to consider the Potato race too.

He's been entered over 2m aswell.
The 2nd blazers mill went to olly Murphy for 180k. So I'm not sure what they paid privately for birchdale.
 
Heard one or two mention Blazers Mill before as one to watch- so the race today will def be worth watching. As Jackie has said his other horse is also worth noting- decent run in what could be a a decent bumper. The second has franked the form very nicely + the third looks a nice type to me as well.

Owners really seem to be taken by Olly Murphy and prepared to send him expensive young horses.
 
Nico jocked up for Angels Breath at Chelt tomorrow, he would be a big for me so hoping all goes well

That was Billymag who put him up. Think it was hills.


MY personal thinking is He had plenty of pace in his pt. Hendo loaths to send them up in trip as we've seen with claimantakinforgan. Lami serge. On the blind side ... .

Early days, but he probably has I Can't Explain for this race as well.

Interestingly Trainer and owner had William Henry for this 2 years back and he stepped him up in trip.

Totally different horse being a bumper horse etc but there we are!
