Max would know more than me.





I cant think of a better flat 3yo willies had, Obviously needs to be able to jump, and id like to see them get 2 races in beforehand. Unlike saldier previously who only got 1.

Saw Roscommon interview with McNeil and had to back
Quality flattie with quality trainer
Sadly evokes memories of last year and SR

Potentially exciting recent arrival from France. Looked impressive when making a winning debut at Auteuil in May and I was delighted to see the runner-up went on to win their three-year-old Grade 1 Champion Hurdle the Saturday before last, so his form is really good. We all like him and he’s done everything right so far; the only fault I can find is he’s been a bit keen at home, so he’ll have to settle when he races. Lets’s see what he can do at Cheltenham on Saturday in the juvenile hurdle.
 
Followed you guys and did both Rayapour and Mick's Pastor for this. 33 and 25. Nice
 
Mick Pastor is entered for the Triumph Trial at Cheltenham on Saturday.
 
Good today he was. Is on my tracker, and likely will hold his price for a while, due to connections.[/QUOTE

...McCain gave it a mention as a Triumph Hurdle type last season, so I posted it on here a while ago. Today’s was a facile victory, but it’s clear the trainer holds this horse in high esteem and could aim high with its next engagement (Finale Hurdle at Chepstow).

PP introduced it in the betting for this @ 66-1.

Nice first hurdles run...better ground will see him in a better light too...put this fellow up as my horse to follow for 2020 festival in March just after the last festival. Let's hope I'm right and Donald has another good one on his hands.
 
Mick Pastor cut to 20/1 with 365 and BFSB/PP today.

888Sport the only 25/1 available but Betstars slow to react as usual still at 33/1

Fairly highly rated on the Flat and an exciting hurdling prospect who won on his jumps debut at Bangor on Wednesday. I didn't expect to be running him in a £100,000 handicap at York in the summer and it was probably a step too far. Bought for this purpose, he has been schooling since he was two. He has the ability, stays and goes on soft ground. Goobinator is a similar type coming off the Flat to go juvenile hurdling
 
Mick Pastor opened up at 2/1 tomorrow, not too sure about the Skelton horse, but Botox Has is only 3's and on collateral form with Mick Pastor he has plenty to make for being so short.
 
Ive backed Mick Pastor for the Triumph and Im pretty concerned about him here tomorrow on this ground, if he doesnt settle it could be a bit disastrous, fearing the worst hoping for the best.
