Must be a gladiator fan

Can't see why else he'd buy that yak

His owners must have been delighted to off-load him.

His leg action is all over the place.
I think the back legs are worse.

 

[Atlantic Viking]

His leg action haven't stopped his form figures reading 1244 at Cheltenham though. He's been infront of plenty of decent types and not too far away from others. His leg action is absolutely bizarre and he's bang average at the top level, but I don't think he's as big a yak as some make out. I don't have a soft spot for him or anything, I got over that :highly_amused:

Aye, he has a slightly unusual action but it's never seemingly caused him a problem in chases. And this season he's finished within a length of the NHC winner. Not sure why he's being slated quite so much
The second season novice angle in this race simply can't be ignored in my view. Call it a recency bias if you like but it's certainly a profitable one.

It doesn't seem to be going unnoticed with the Irish trainers
If it's at all possible any British trainers could see this angle and target a horse at this race, you'd think Dan Skelton might be capable.
unexpected party, currently a maiden after 5 chases, his last performance beaten 8 1/2 lengths in the turners gave him his best rpr to date.
It would be a step up in trip for him but something i can see being a possibility on his breeding.

If anyone could let Dan skelton know he's got a possible NHC contender there it would be appreciated :excitement:

Ferny Hollows brother, bought by JP, entered in a bumper at Naas next Thursday. Trained by Mullins.

Also entered is Mahons Way for Cheveley Park. Trained by Henry.

Half brothers to Minella Trump and Fascile Mode also entered and the Nolan horse came 2nd to Croke Park in a PTP.

Lovely. That means Mirazur West will be going hurdling most likely next season.

Perfect. Will be interesting to see his trip. 2m I assume following Ferny Hollow, but looks as though he could easily get further on breeding.

Also, an unraced 7yo entered for Willie for the Denmarks. Not another New Guy?!

Well I already have Gaucher for Willie in the Supreme but I’ll always plan for three darts.

I've got Absurde on the radar too. Treading the path they initially planned for Vauban. And we've not even got this years French imports yet. :eagerness:

Therein lies the problem. He’s got plenty held back from this season and will load up again in the coming months.

Cheltenham bes tickets advice help for 2024

I am booking for Cheltenham and need some help picking the best tickets to enjoy the Tuesday and the Friday

Would prefer to experience the festival with different tickets each day. So to that end I have already bought , Wednesday , Thursday tickets and looking for a different experience for the Tuesday and Friday

On the

Wednesday -already bought

Club Admission with Horses for Courses Tour

Thursday - already bought

Club & Guinness Grandstand (Guinness Grandstand

So it leaves me with seeking a different experience on Tuesday , and Friday (preferably pay for somewhere quieter on the friday as it sells out , maybe a restaurant w drinks package,)

I want the view , the atmosphere, not watching it on a bloody screen.

I went 10 years ago once on the Tuesday, I now live in Australia and this will be my last trip back to UK so it's bucket list all 4 days

Appreciate the passion and experience in this forum for any advice from those that may have been there many festivals and done it all.

So just need to sort out

Tuesday and Friday

So far advice been given is re restaurants is all of below are potentially worth doing

The horse and groom restaurant
Panoramic restaurant but ?1500 each pp
Green room
480
Alberta runs restaurant

A lot of people also saying that the best mate tent / enclosure is the best seat in the house in terms of ground level or the stand there, with live music and view of finish line from stands​

It's one hell of an early entry list, and I didn't think I'd ever pay so much attention to a midweek bumper at Naas

Also are we banning the bot above?

Banprionsa - She was entered for the Cheltenham tattersalls sales but was then withdrawn. She clocked the fastest time on the day at Lingstown on the 12th march when winning her maiden point, a card which also included Jalon d’oudairies maiden point win, a ?420k purchase at the cheltenham sales.

A Kayf tara mare out of Midnight Angel. Kayf Tara’s Cheltenham festival winners include, Thistlecrack (stayers hurdle), Edwardstone (Arkle), Special Tiara (Champion chase).

Midnight Angel has produced 4 NH offspring, 3 of which have run in grade 1’s at the Cheltenham festival, West with the wind (2011 Arkle), midnight game (2012 supreme) and New years Eve (2012 Bumper). The other is a once raced 6yo gelding in training with Olly murphy. Those 4 were sired by fasliyev, Montjeu, motivator and camelot. Arguably better known for their flat progeny whereas Banprionsa is by a Leading NH Sire.

I’ll be keeping my eye out for this classy mare.

If anyone has any information about this mare it would be much appreciated.

Any chance that we can separate the Member Diaries sub-forum from this main forum. The main Racing Forum Index shows all threads as read when they're not and I think that the Diaries bit is over-riding this information in the index.
