Also got The Reverend in the Supreme as well, although he wasn't mentioned in the stable tour.

On that basis Mighty must surely go Turners.....if it were up to Willie....
 
Logically speaking it doesnt make any sense for might park to go supreme. The easier looking race is the turners, and given his inexperience the slower pace would also be favourable youd imagine.

Only real reasons for supreme are either jp just likes the race more as its older and more prestigious, or else mighty park actually is faugheen and they couldn't give a shit what runs against him as he'll just batter them.
 
I wouldn't believe a word that O'Brien says. If it is true then why is Talk The Talk now clear favourite for the Turners? Are the punters backing him really that stupid? He has covered himself throughout by never fully committing to the Supreme. Could end up with the crazy situation where none of the first three in best two mile novice of season end up running in the Supreme. It almost seems as if there is a move to make the Supreme look an easier option than the Turners.

I suspect not the only thing. I don't think I would have thought it worth making that post given that he is now clear favourite with the majority of bookmakers.

Your definition of clear fav holds the same amount of meaning as Gaelic Warrior being EVS for the Ryanair with Hills

7 out of the 24 bookmakers on oddschecker have him as clear favourite. In what world is that a majority? The exchange he's not evening close.

Keep seeing what you want to see I guess...

Does he have any for the Turners?

I think Mighty Park is his only decent novice hurdler, so I'd say not, but I'll go out on a limb and say he would prefer a Supreme runner than a Turners runner. He's not guaranteed to win either.

Don't get me wrong, I'd prefer him in the Turners, but basing it on what Willie has for the Supreme is not the answer to where he may end up, IMO.

Heard over the weekend that he's been doing good things at home, there's a bit of quiet confidence behind him for the AB..

Dont shoot the messenger.

Ruby put him up for the AB at 40's a few weeks back. He did similar with Jasmin last year at 25's.
