Ballymore (Previously Neptune) Novice Hurdle 2018

Suggestion it’s Scarpeta, not Salsaretta..

That's actually a very good shout. And i think you are correct :grumpy: the person on Twitter at gaultstats may very well have a mistake.

I've had a small bet on Brahma Bull for the Bartlett - Might top up again now based on this
 
Chef Des Obeaux is another in same ownership.

Sullivan has 4 horses who could run in AB but I think they'll run one in Supreme, one in Ballymore and two in the Potato.
 
That's actually a very good shout. And you are correct :grumpy: the person on Twitter at gaultstats just confirmed he made the mistake.

I thought he may have said scarpeta, and it's also unlikely that DC is 100% certain on some of the plans either. If he is then Patrick's a politician

Ilk be interested to find out. The guy tweeting at gaultstats is unsure. So be careful if your following that.
 
Luckily I did. Made complete sense.

David Casey.


Duc des Gen, Next Destination Salsetta take him on. Duc has best improvement in him.

Whatever the outcome, what a hilarious thread to come back to :highly_amused:

Gutted to have missed it... 100% would have tied some money up despite her having NO chance haha

Not caught any yet, that is great news on Dounikos for me (you/us)

Worst call of all time is Finian's Oscar in the Arkle still :devilish:

Finian's Oscar for the arkle, I can hold my hands up for that also.
When it beat Move with the times this season at cheltenham, it looked so fast after the last to the line. I went back over the last 6 years arkles and champion chases. and timed every winner from jumping last to the line as the fence is in the exact same possition. And not one of them did it as quick as Finians that day. By over a second as well.
They must have gone really slow up till that point.
He then went to sandown and looked like he couldn't put one leg in front of the other without thinking about it, nevermind sprinting.

I see you only joined in Feb.

If you get time, read the entire Arkle thread ... you'll enjoy it haha
 
Kim Bailey says a decision will be imminent on whether vinndication goes ballymore or bartlett as of yet un decided
 
It has got to be the Ballymore!!! He's stated that he has Red River for the A.Bartlett. I'm more concerned that he might not run at all ... my bets would take a hit.I'm girding my loins...

Bartlett for me. Iv no interest in him ballymore and have a couple of quid on the exchange for him bartlett, Which id give him a decent chance in.

You may well get your wish though as a few people on here have said he goes ballymore.

Red river does go bartlett. Not one for me though.
 
Vinndication does not run apparently according to kim Baileys twitter
