Marsh Novices Chase 2020 (was JLT)

[Kautothegreat8]

Look we’ll just have to agree to disagree. I would be pretty confident that every horse that beat the fancied horse today (Fakir, Samcro, Cyrname, LIT, Fusil) will not be winning at Cheltenham.

Seem to remember last Boxing Day being a total disaster as well, but it turned out ok in March. I’ll cling to that :highly_amused:

 

[Quevega]

Apart from Laurina and LIT
The others appeared to run and travel fairly similar to previous runs
Fakir seemed to run a reasonable race.
If you spotted anything else then I’m sure you’ll be a millionaire soon backing and laying in running

Fakir jumped terrible today for starters. Cyrname never looked right, I think that’s pretty obvious to see and went out like a light. Fusil was keen from the start and never settled before being pulled up so if you think that’s his normal running we must be watching a different sport.

 

[Quevega]

Fusil is shit

 

[Kautothegreat8]

Fusil is shit

Maybe but he’s definitely not that shit

 

[Saxon Warrior]

Fusil has won two Grade 2’s and. Grade 1 on his first three runs in Britain and Ireland, today is clearly not his runn8ng, and the jockey has reported something being amiss with him.

That said, its not a good way to perform in your mid-season target, and it will be interesting what news comes out on him in the next few days.

Bookies wouldn’t be taking a bean on him now, of course.

 

[BigChaang]

Faugheen sets the standard here.

Wow Haha

Haven't got a bean on Faugheen ( that rhymes ) , and didn't back yesterday.
But I honestly thought it was Brilliant , Won so well. " The Machine ".

Youd have to hope with samcro that faugheen dosent run in the JLT and also hope id he does that faugheen dosent run his race.
Faugheen has put up a performance like that on heavy at the start of nearly every season and unfortnately never backs it up. So we will likely see at dublin if he can do the same previous form says he wont. But that's optimistic

 

[Scooby91]

There is also plenty of snippets after the race from willie that makes you think faugheen wont go JLT.
But he surely should.

 

[AnFiieLD.]

Patrick Mullins with a brilliant piece on Faugheen yesterday:

The reception afterwards was unlike anything I've experienced before, people 10 deep around the winners enclosure.

Faugheen races as though he'll live forever, treating mortality as an unreliable rumour from a distant land.

The fire hasn't gone out just yet. Not on this day. Not in this place.

This is Faugheen and he's still a 'Machine'.

Let's hope Patrick is the key and he ends up in the NH Chase

Same situ BC and agree 100%

Where oh where will The Machine be seen at Cheltenham?

 

[Eggs]

...Fanion Destruval for this I wonder, 50-1 with cash-out.

I have a free bet on him, but I don't think there is much positive you can take from today?

...possibly outpaced early, couldn’t get in a rhythm trying to catch up. Just looked like it could benefit for a step-up, next run will certainly be interesting.

 

[Can't Catch Me]

Fingers crossed! Hard to see how they justify that after yesterday though.

Potentially that he'd be furthest clear on ratings in the NH Chase so it's easier?
Sometimes they do a slow first lap and he'd easzily have the most class?

I think it comes down to how much Patrick wants to.... I think he can wangle it :highly_amused:

Rathvinden franked that Ballymore form with Faugheen in the NH Chase too



The stars are aligned :triumphant:

 

[Scooby91]

Are there any specials for allaho today and JLT or any race?

 

[Marty973]

Are there any specials for allaho today and JLT or any race?

I’ve tried requesting a few bits including Allaho today/JLT and today/any race, Coral straight back with a no, I’ll let you know if the rest offer anything.
