    Goodluck

    At the very least it looks like it should be an excellent week racing wise - open and competitive races and for the most part - the right horses going for the right races. All the best to all on here - hope the week is a successful one 🤞

    He doesn’t win very often but I actually like The Changing Man for tomorrow. A small shout as well for the Chris Gordon horse albeit coming off a big absence.

    2026 Stayers Hurdle

    As predicted by some - The Yellow Clay a NR today.

    October ‘25 Yankee

    So with no time like the present, I've just decided to stick this month's Yankee now. First of all - thank you to everyone who has contributed to the chat this month - turns out keeping tabs on everything as the captain was much harder than I first thought, especially now the discussion has...

    2026 Stayers Hurdle

    Odd starting out over 2miles for The Yellow Clay ?

    October ‘25 Yankee

    Need to catch up on various threads and go over all the stable tours posted so far but will aim to have the final selections for October posted by Friday so can see any Down Royal entries and where applicable get them in a yankee before they run. If anyone has any last minute shouts they want...

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    Yeah hadn't clocked how old he was - sure Venetia can get a good race out of him but probably not one for the Festival.

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    Interesting to see that Jungle Boogie has joined Venetia Williams this season. Could be a player here if she can get him going - must have had issues being so lightly raced.

    2026 Novice Chasers

    The County comment was slightly in jest to be fair - but it is Willie after all? Who knows. At this stage we don't even know if she is actually going chasing. Was merely commenting to say it would be unlike connections. If she takes to chasing and is good enough then fair enough - IMO she...

    2026 Novice Chasers

    As much as I like Kargese - it would be very much against what Willie usually does if he was to pitch her in against the boys at the top level no? I actually don’t think I would fancy her in any Chase at the Festival - she has far more options staying over hurdles. A couple of poorer runs not...

    2026 Novice Chasers

    Does anyone have any genuine contenders/fancies for the Arkle at this stage? Just having a look over the oddschecker list and bar Kopek des Bordes, there doesn't seem many certain runners? Lulamba - nothing confirmed yet/4 year old stats Anazadam/W.Munny/TNL/Con.Hill - all routed down the...

    October ‘25 Yankee

    So with over half the month now gone - thought it would be useful to list the main horses that have been discussed either here or on other threads: BANC: Derryhassen Paddy Gameofinches Final Demand Taponthego Triumph: Manlaga Narsisco Has Stayers: Ballyburn Ryanair: Impaire Et Passe Gold...

    Fantastic result for you all. Looks exciting! Enjoy the celebrations 🥂

    October ‘25 Yankee

    Good to have at least a steer on some of his big names at this stage 👌 Although don't think there were many surprises in there.

    October ‘25 Yankee

    Anyone any thoughts on the weekend winners? Love Me Tender - won as his odds suggested. Out early enough for a WPM Cheltenham contender? Taponthego - nice win at short odds although haven't actually watched the race back yet. Decent enough form over hurdles and HdB's do tend to improve for...

    October ‘25 Yankee

    Agreed re Gordon - he hasn't really been able to translate the big money horses into big races winners - especially at Cheltenham. I still wouldn't dismiss his in the handicaps even though his strike rate has reduced in those races too but at this stage it's difficult to pin any of those down...

    October ‘25 Yankee

    Thanks @Eggs - looking forward to the discussion this month. Hopefully we're now starting to get little snippets from various sources along with the start of some interesting NH meetings - Cheltenham is back this month! 🥳 The Down Royal meeting where Elliot tends to unleash some of his big...

    September ‘25 Yankee
