Grand Annual 2019

There's a G2 the weekend after Cheltenham. We'd win about the same for first as for second in this and it's likely to be much easier.

I'd guess we'll enter and then look at the options but I'm not into social runs at Cheltenham. That's how accidents happen and Caddy is one of my favourites.

I think you've got other horses to be interested in that day anyway, regardless! :)
 
Daryl Jacob on Magic Saint......
"This is a grade 1 horse running in a handicap, he's very well handicapped at 149, probably the biggest banker in the handicaps"

That’s what I like to hear!

Le Prezien went off at 7/2 2017, but I think a lot of the money was on the day...
 
Alderwood went off short in this a few years ago, I think he halved in price on the day and went off 3/1fav
 
I can see it going off half the current 8/1
 
Should have put the horse shouldn't I!

What year was Fota Island? That was some gamble!
 
I think Henry Rix tipped up Alderwood back in the days when he used to change markets significantly.

Apologies for this awful but of aftertiming........ I'd been backing him from Christmas at 16/1. Paid for my Cheltenham.

Was sat in the bookies at uni with some friends “who’d had a text from Ireland” that Kid Cassidy was a banker

Sat there with my Alderwood ticket with some great entertainment
 
Blue across the board for Magic Saint today, I think this one will go off short 3/1ish..

Ex Patriot who I've had my eye on for a festival handicap has just won at Gowran Park today quite easily. Sea of blue for him here so could be the target. He also had an entry in the plate.
 
Looking a struggle for Not Another Muddle to get in here.... 11 more to come out?

I can see at least 5 I don't think will run though.
