Gaelic Warrior is a sea of blue today for the Ballymore. 5's with PP/BF with FV widely available at 6.

….they’ve also given their GW Ballymore/any race a severe haircut; 20-1 from 50-1.
 
On the exchange grangeclare west and gaelic warrior are both shorter than him

I'd say he's 4 or 5/1 to even run in the ballymore so the drift was inevitable

To not get an entry is very telling. Supreme it is.
 
Feels like I'm in the minority of thinking about Facile's welfare at the news of the non entry. I take some solice in this, lol.

Mullins mentioned the lawlors after his maiden.
 
anyone seen anything about Arctic bresil target...pushed to 33s with paddy which seems big considering Henry said he'd stay at 2m
 
365 finally put up the white flag - Gaelic Warrior into 7-1 from 10s.
 
what price GW once the other GW puts him in his place on the 8th of Jan :devilish:
 
Be very keen to take him on in the Lawlors to be honest.
 
Grangeclare to beat him in the lawlors going left handed and will cement his place as fav for the ballymore, reckon Gaelic will still go Bally after that but just as the second string, all my option of course

5's! Hahaha. That's the worst price of the lot, and there is a lot of competition this year. Absolutely rotten.

I don't understand why people pick the lowest price on offer, there is still 8/1 available, and 7's with a bigger firm, that's the same price as Grangeclare West.

Willie has this race by the nuts, in my opinion. Gordon seemingly has nothing, Henry nothing (unless Arctic Bresil comes here), Hendo does not do well in the race anyway and likely has nothing too, so how much further would you want bookmakers to lengthen his runners?

Gaelic Warrior stayed 12/1 for a fair while after winning and even 10/1 until yesterday, it's only because more is being made the figure he created in winning on his seasonal debut, coupled with Willie name checking the race back in March that the price is now taking a tumble. His price prior to yesterday was absolutely fair and plenty of time for those who wanted to get him onside to do so.

Spot on, well said. So many can be lifted out that market - 10/1 was more than fair, as is 8/1. If he wins the Lawlors he's what, a 6/4 shot?

I watched this but I'm not a massive fan of Andy Holding. It seems it time figures and that's that for him.

Time figures this, time figures that, I've been doing this for years, blah blah blah :sleeping::sleeping:
 
"When will we see Between Waters and what do you think will be the right trip for her this season?"


Hendo
"She’s ready to run right now and we’ll start her over two and a half miles in the not too distant future I would think."


Hendo replied to my Question in his unibet blog.

She showed enough boot in her PTP after the second last to not be concerned about the maiden distance entries but the track location would be a little worrying.
