Hi Guys
Anybody have anything in mind they would like to see go Jumping or know of anything that's been bought?
Have heard JP McManus has bought a nice 3yo from France that could make the grade for the triumph
 
Hi Paz and welcome.

Looking forward to West Wizard this time round.

A few pointers made big money

Alisier D’Irlande made £300,000 and went to Roger Brookhouse which I presume means gone to Pipe.

Adam Du Breteau made £280,000 and Has gone to Jonjo O’Neill. Jeweloftheocean also bought by Jonjo for £175,000 and Champagne Present for £210,000. Also Minella Rocco https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVU6uDLsPdA


Potters Point went to Willie Mullins for £260,000.


Birch Hill, was purchased for Nicky Henderson for €160,000.

other buys

110,000gns paid by Donald McCain for Starchitect in July , who was second to subsequent Listed winner Table Rock last time out.

I Understand Mr Wylie has bought a proven stayer from the flat, as yet though no details of who and where he will send it (Nicholls or Mullins) Is he looking for a new Inglis Drever ;)

One out yesterday :)

Willie Mullins’ Bosman Rule, fitted with cheek-pieces and revelling in the good surface, made all to easily land the Bumper.

He was beautifully handled by Mullins’ son, Patrick, who was subsequently of the opinion that it was the first occasion one of their horses had actually worn cheekpieces.

“He’s a real good ground horse and so big we were afraid to run him on this type of ground before,” commented Patrick.

“I worked him the other day and said to dad that he needed cheekpieces.”

Bosman Rule's future, of course, lies over fences, considering he is a half-brother to the 2005 Cheltenham Gold winner, Kicking King.

Cue Card another for the hope they come back list.

Daryl Jacob has been booked as his rider for the season. Thought his win in Betfair was most impressive performance by a staying chaser last year. The Gold cup was an aberration.

Dont disagree with you there MG. Glad to see Jacob getting one decent horse - this will be a tricky season for him.

a couple of newish ones were already in my book

SIMON SQUIRREL (4 b g Robin Des Champs – Misty Heather)

Form: 1- Trainer: Paul Nicholls Owner: Andrea & Graham Wylie

http://www.sportinglife.com/racing/...ibet-pro-app-standard-open-nh-flat-race/video

Out of a full sister to Rock On Ruby and created a favourable impression in taking a Chepstow bumper on debut for Charlie Brooks, tracking the leaders and travelling strongly for much of the contest, ridden to lead over two furlongs out and staying on strongly inside the final furlong to see off Rock The Kasbah by 4½ lengths. There was an awful lot to like about the way this gelding went about things on debut, seeing off a well-bred, strongly-fancied newcomer and another with solid bumper form; has been privately purchased by current connections since and rates as a decent prospect for the season ahead, bred to excel over obstacles.


GAITWAY (4 b g Medicean – Milliegait)
Form: 1- Trainer: Nicky Henderson Owner: Jenny Powell

http://www.sportinglife.com/racing/...sales-bumper-standard-open-nh-flat-race/video

This gelding posted one of the most impressive performances of the season when landing the DBS Spring Sales Bumper at Newbury in March (7/2 chance), racing in mid-division and making steady headway from the top of the straight, drawing clear with the runner-up from the two furlong marker and produced to lead entering the final furlong, keeping on well despite clear signs of inexperience to score by a length from Tea For Two (pair 34 lengths clear of remainder). It was a most impressive debut success from this gelding, overcoming greenness to see off a more experienced rival who had finished second in a Listed bumper on his previous outing, needing only hands-and-heels to get on terms; undoubtedly has the potential to develop into a leading light in the 2m novice hurdle division.

this one has his own thread on irish sports section of betfair...

TELL US MORE (5 b g Scorpion – Zara’s Victory)
Form: 1- Trainer: Willie Mullins Owner: Gigginstown House Stud

Sold for £290,000 at auction last December and looked a fine prospect when making a winning debut under Rules in a 2m 2f bumper at Gowran Park in March (8/11 favourite), tanking along at the head of affairs for the most part, extending his advantage at the top of the straight and drawing clear on the bridle inside the final two furlongs to run out a very easy 12-length winner from Grand Isola. It was a visually taking debut performance from this point-to-point recruit, it being reminiscent of classy stablemate Faugheen’s debut success in a bumper the previous spring; very unlikely he beat anything as good as his stablemate did first time up, but it would still be a something of a surprise were this son of Scorpion unable to make up into a very smart novice hurdler this term.

IRISH point-to-point winner Tell Us More starred at the Brightwells Cheltenham December Sale on Friday when selling to Harold Kirk for £290,000.

The four-year-old son of Scorpion was a hugely impressive winner at Tattersalls point last Sunday for trainer Willie Codd - brother of leading amateur jockey Jamie - and he had a host of suitors, including Gordon Elliott, who opened the bidding at £150,000.
The imposing gelding, from the family of Philip Hobbs's classy hurdler In Contrast, was bought as a store by Peter and Ross Doyle for €27,000.
"He has been bought for an existing client and will go into training with Willie Mullins," said Kirk. "He's a gorgeous horse - today's standout - and he won his point very well. I wasn't there when he won, but the right people were on the phone telling me we should try and get him.
"He's by an exciting young sire and he would be the first one we've had by him. He should make a smashing chaser - he's a big-framed, scopey type."

Hi Mayo,

Presume you are all GAA these days ;)

Three interesting ones there alright. Lester mentioned Tell us more a while back too. Neptune horse in your opinion ?

Don't mention the football. Robbed by ref.

Don't know about Mullins horse ..better Gigginstown ones usually end up in Neptune or Bertie Bartlett though.
 
Jonjo and Pipe spending the dosh. Nicholls said that he thinks Jonjo might be man to beat thus year.
 
Nicholls new ones

“Emerging Talent is a big, gorgeous chasing type who has summered in Ditcheat and has schooled well. He will start in a novices’ hurdle – it may be the 2m6f race at Wincanton that Denman won in October nine years ago.”

Another smart new Irish import is All Set To Go, a close third at Navan in a Group Three three-year-olds’ middle-distance race for County Tyrone trainer Andy Oliver on his last appearance in April.

“All Set To Go mixed it with some of the best of his age group at two and three and is officially rated 102 on the Flat. We gelded him in the spring and he’s spent the summer at grass. He is built to go jumping, has done lots of schooling and is an exciting prospect as a juvenile hurdler.”


A tremendous recruit for novice chasing will be Saphir Du Rheu, a five-year-old who improved 35lb over hurdles last season with three tough staying handicap hurdle victories on the bounce, finishing with a triumph over subsequent Grade One winner Whisper in the Welsh Champion Hurdle on February 1. “Saphir Du Rheu has returned a stronger horse after the summer and may have one run over hurdles before going over fences.”

Irish Saint is another destined for the bigger obstacles. This smart five-year-old won a Grade Two hurdle at Ascot in January and was third in the Grade Three Betfair Hurdle at Newbury three weeks later. “He looks as well as ever and will probably be ready at the end of October.”

Ibis Du Rheu – a three-year-old half brother to Saphir Du Rheu – arrives from France a hurdles winner for Guillaume Macaire. “He jumps brilliantly but he won’t be going to the Triumph Hurdle,” stressed Nicholls who added: “If ever there was an embryonic chaser, this is it.”
 
Hargem is the 3yo that JP has bought from France, excited is the buzz word from connections and those alike. Mullins has a new one in Allez colombieres owned by rich ricci, again exciting and looking forward to his debut after having a season to settle in at the yard &#55357;&#56836;
 
Thanks Paz.

Thought Mullins bumper winner at Listowel yesterday looked useful. Rio Treasure.

Also liked Orgilio Bay in the Lartigue. Another Handicap to be won on good ground imo.
