2024 Champion Bumper (A FLAT RACE)

Elliott on Romeo Coolio

'He’s a good horse. He pulled a muscle that held him up for a few weeks, but we’re looking forward to getting him going. He’ll stick to bumpers this season. He’s a fair yoke.'

Might explain why he wasn't at Down Royal.
 
Qualimita 16s at the mo. Worth backing before the Navan race at 3:40? Maybe with FTF in the BANC as he's gonna come in after the 3:05 there too and is currently 14s for the BANC.....

I don't think Fact to File's target is a definite one way or the other. Personally I'm backing him for the Turners today with Facile Vega looking less likely at this stage to end up there.

Agreed,I think they will take the Galopin route and go Turner’s

he is not a horse that has much mileage on the clock

he is a horse I have high hopes for so really looking forward to how he performs today

getting side tracked on wrong thread

Can’t wait to see her today hope she goes well. As Jim said I wouldn’t back her for Chelt given the connections comments.

Possibly if all goes well today and she does the same at DRF then she becomes a bet for Chelt - albeit much shorter.

There are a lot of good and valuable mares bumper races these days, especially in Ireland. Don't think there is any need to contest the Champion Bumper which is why we will see fewer and fewer mares taking it in (Two last year, 1 for UK 1 for Ire, 2022 just the one with 0 from Ireland, 2021 3 ran 1 from Ireland, 2020 4 ran 2 from Ire. Elliott ran 2 in 2020, the two most recent Irish to run were for Mullins).

Writing was on the wall earlier when she drifted from odds on.

Winners all been prominent at Navan and Derek rode the right race.

If searching for this lad on Twitter, you may want to scroll passed the first video quickly. You may not, of course.
 
Ah, thanks Jim. I'd missed his comment :encouragement:

This was off the record Paul, so worth keeping half an eye, albeit being syndicate owned for some reason does dampen my enthusiasm a little
 
That's definitely different then Jim. Patrick would rarely talk about their best bumper horse(s) publicly until after they've laid it down on the track.
 
The syndicates only other horse that ran in a bumper didn't turn out too bad either :)

Certainly didnt Oneman, I had a quick scan when I seen the colours and it passed by me that Bacardys was actually syndicate owned too. That fucker was a bit of a rogue over fences mind wasnt he:applouse:
