Bapaume (Stayers) / Presenting Certainty (Gold Cup) double.

The Galmoy Hurdle becomes THE race for festival winners... with Killultagh Vic winning the Ryanair, and Limini winning the Mares, and Darasso who was 5th resting after dominating a grade 2. Grand National winner pulled up too!


Race of the season.
 
Backed Faugheen 5-1 4pts saver bet.
If Samcro and Supasundae don't run here it's getting thin in the ground and a much less competitive affair.
Which is good news for Paisley Park.
20pts 9/4 Paisley Park
2pts 45-1 Kilbricken storm
1pt Melon 65-1

couple of multiples potentially rolling on to paisley too so need to have Faugheen on side.
Can't possibly win though as hes 11:p

PS.
With the penhill news, is the couple of ideas they have for Melon going to be the big shock news this year ??
 
Sensible decision :encouragement:

HAs there been a change in Supasundae... the latest I'd read was that the CH is the plan?

No idea, but they may have pinned their mast a little early if they have.
they must like the look of the stayers now,
but i'd prefer champion hurdle as one less good horse in the stayers
 
Supasundae goes for the stayers. Unless it's heavy ground.
 
Yeah thought Supadundae would be a cert for the Stayers. CH far too stacked and Stayers far too weak to not to.
 
I'm sure Jessie said the plan was still CH even after he got beaten at the DRF.


I don't agree with her that it should be the plan, better ground gives him a better shot here than the CH any way

That's the last news i had also.
And she was quite definitive.
But to be honest I've paid no attention to news of him since cos don't think he's a serious player in either. maybe stayers now it's losing strength in depth.
 
There is/was some quotes from Robbie power on the chelt festival preview thread.
 
Looks like samcro decision has been made. To not run.
 
Paisley Park backers must be loving the last week. No Penhill. No Supasundae. No Samcro. Others at the top of the market like Apples Jade and Benie Des Dieux going elsewhere.
 
Robbie also napped Walk to freedom for coral cup in a preview evening.
I remember him last year not knowing/confusing which race his rides might be running in.
We need to remind ourselves that sometimes the people on these preview evenings know less than we do, in some respects.

You can see the markets reacting to these preview evenings. Dangerous game.
 
Power says Supasundae likely to run CH here http://betting.boylesports.com/horse-racing/audio-robbie-powers-cheltenham-tips-champion-hurdle

They're considering using cheekpieces.

That was before penhill was ruled out. He's said since the stayers. All the money has been stayers. He has a huge chance to win the stayers and no chance in the CH. I'll be completely shocked if he goes CH personally.

He also has a ride already in the CH on vision des flos.

Near certainty he goes for the stayers. And I'll happily give anyone 3/1 he goes for the CH if they so wish.

I thought walk to freedom was - Pertemps .. and Not many left - Coral ??., or has it changed .??.

Don't think you need to convince anyone.
They should run in stayers, as it stands right now.
still time for more defectors either race.

Samcro is 1 if anyone thought he was going to run anyway.

that's the latest i heard, but in early preview he mentioned coral for WTF.
I genuinely think they say the wrong race by mistake sometimes, and compere's don't question them on it.

Like Cilaos Emery and Patrick.
Willie had said live on tv, take it out of the betting.
So when patrick said tenterhooks comment.
I'd have gone straight back at him for clarity, but the compere just moved on ?
