I do like to have 2 so when it gets to the Fest i can print all my single bets on one page daily and print all my multis on that day on a diff bit of paper.
 
Has there been anything on Barry the Butcher and/or Croke Park?

BTB was supposed to be out in bumpers as early as November according to stable tours but I don't think either have even had an entry

Think i remember reading a HDB comment saying hes a horse thats hard to keep right? Might be being cautious or a hidden injury?

Barry is a big green baby I'm told, and a month or so ago, they were hopeful they'd get him out in a hurdle or bumper for some experience

I presume that means they are still running as 6 year olds at the festivals in March and April though which is still no change. They should just not allow any 6 year olds to run in bumpers full stop

to me that reads no 6 year olds can run in a bumper after the end of this month , full stop
