Win Today & Festival

….i’ve done some updates but todays markets are so large & so fluid it’s worth checking if you’re after the latest odds.
Good work, as always, Eggs. Been looking out for a Push The Button one - liked the 125/1 with the Plate, went to do it and now 80/1. As you say, a fluid entity!

Had a couple of quid just to get in the book Lobos with WH. Needs to find a bit more, but never know.

Taken a stab at the Saratoga one today. Big drifter so far, but that means nothing with a JP horse, could be late money for him!

Could win this race then down the field in that other race at Naas!
 
I cannot get Workaheads run at Leopardstown Oct 2024 out of my head, when trouncing William Munny by 7 lengths 😳

White blaze, jumped very well and quickened on the home turn to put the race to bed. In a time equal to Kopek Des Bordes time 30mins earlier in the day, yet with 5lb more on his back. (Admittedly Kopek did pretty much flatten each hurdle!)

This was a marked improvement from his previous run, where beaten easily by Jasmin De Vaux (maybe not so bad?) and he went into the Supreme as third fav within a field that included Kopek, William Munny, Romeo Coolio, Karniquet and Irancy…….(Karbau who he runs against today at Naas was a 40/1 rag)……..Workahead ran no sort of race, finished last and was found to be sore afterwards.

The plan from HDB’s stable tour info x 3 has always been hurdles this year, even though he is already 8 years old and his start to the campaign was always beyond Xmas, so hopefully he convalescence has gone well, as he starts his campaign today.

Not sure what to expect today though, as his price is drifting slightly and others inc Karbau appear to being backed ahead of him, but he has a Champion Hurdle entry, so they must think a lot of him surely? And as a 2m hurdler not stayer as he is not entered in the Stayers Hurdle.

The form line through William Munny, Kawaboomga and Kopek Des Bordes from last seasons campaign does read very well and William Munny was many peoples idea of a good each way punt for the CH early doors. So why is there no love for Workaheads CH chances?……is the view that his Leopardstown run was a fluke?

What if he is back to his best, healthy and runs them ragged today, like he did at Leaopartstown?……wont be 100/1 afterwards will he😎

The owner has had some pretty good horses with HDB over the years, so with the CH having many question marks over most of the contenders, at 200/1 win today and CH and also 100/1 CH separately, worth a bit of spare change methinks!🤔

Ran ok I suppose yesterday against mid 140’s horses and his first run after nearly a year off

Jumped pretty well and only faded towards the end of the race, so looks to have retained his ability

Not sure where he goes now as he would need another run to be able to qualify for any of the handicap hurdles at the festival

If he remains sound after yesterday then a fitter version could show a 150’s performance next time IMO

As to whether thats enough to get a place in the CH is a whole other matter, but the race does cut up a fair bit, so who knows🤔

Maybe need to change my user name to Wayward ‘Lemming’ Lad !😂
