I think we need to discuss Gaelic Warrior.

I mean, he's a general 5/4 in a big festival handicap almost a year later carrying another stone, on a left handed track, against some serious scummy marks and plots.

I've backed him :highly_amused::highly_amused: (at 9/4 in a double though, just 1 pt)

Come on, own up, who's on him today ??
He's a good thing looking at those RPR's and having his form franked all over the shop :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Have backed Common Practice for the Boodles so don't want him finishing ahead of Gaelic Warrior, or else CP's RPR will surely hit 160+:snowman:

He certainly needs to be hosing up today to justify them Ballymore bets..

I'd be more worried about watching him jump round here tbh.

But yeah I've backed him hahaha! 2/1 in multis:angel:

That's on an acapulco level.

When video camera's first came out, our lass made me stand on a boat watching some little mexican fella stand on a cliff for 10 minutes, poncing around (even though he'd probably done it a million times) - Arm got tired, so I had a rest for a second, and the twat jumped off.:chargrined:
Earache for the rest of the holiday. :miserable:

I've backed him in a 4pt double with FV for the supreme. If he doesn't win I probably have to accept FV goes unbacked at the festival
 
Anyone know why Champ Kiely is so weak on the exchange for the Ballymore? Available at 18 currently
 
Anyone thinking Vega gets beat today? The markets and bookmakers offers look like they're not too scared. I think he'll probably enhance his credentials today but interested to see the general consensus on here.

I'm taking him on with Irish Point. Nice to see some market support too.

Tougher race than Christmas and possibly a deeper race than what the Supreme will be. He's not a 1/2 shot for me today but obviously the likeliest winner.

Can't see it. The manner of his victory will be more interesting perhaps.

I have stopped short of taking on Vega but have backed Irish Point without Vega. I don't have a bean on Vega this year sadly.
