What are we expecting from salvator Mundi today? Potentially a possible supreme horse

My ante post would love him to win! But i dont think today is his day, id like to see a nice run and back him for supreme next year
 
The early AB horse on here does it. Needed every last yard but what a stayer

Danny Mullins has had an absolute stinker there.

Looking between his legs a mile out, then coming round the final bend, maybe focus on the front 2!
 
Disappointed with Gidleigh Park, but he wasn't beaten by the trip. He has turned in a not travelling ninth and still managed to finish sixth. I think he has just ran flat. The previous Cheltenham race rather than bringing him on was likely one race too many. Also too many negatives going in surrounding both trainer/jock form. It wouldn't have mattered, but he got the negative ride I expected. He needed to be ridden as if he would get the trip, particularly with another dawdle on the front end. Taking him back didn't help his jumping either. He should make a decent staying novice chaser, but the ability of Burke will again be a worry.

Johnnywho was well enough positioned, and had no excuses. He had already become disappointing. He doesn't have any great scope for fences, and is already seven.

….highlighted by a FJ at 33-1 last April and wins at 33-1. Not quite how ante-post is supposed to work :smile-new:, just need NHC price now.
 
So glad I cashed out Stellar Story at 33's.

Sums up my festival really.

Brutal.

Know how you feel, I had backed at 33s Cashed after he got beat a couole of time, also had him in a free bet double with el fabiolo which I'd given up on before the week but only know afterwards you realise what could have been hey :boxing:

Yeah, I done Jasmin too, after the exchange moves.

Really poor festival for me, unfortunately.

You have more important things in life to worry about. Horse racing should be way down the list. Priorities.

9th April. Apparently you can’t find the AB winner early doors :biggrin-new:

Nice to have one offset all the garbage in my preseason ramblings.

….got him in my book on the 9th Apr @ 33-1 then topped at 28-1 after decs. He then goes and wins at 33-1, amazing effort but I’m not sure ante-post is supposed to work like that.

Great early shout JackieMoon33 & Saxon Warrior. :eagerness: You exploded the AB myth, now give us next years winner.

Wingmen? Just going by race trends of Gordy horses! (!and others) Know damn all about pedigree or ability! But trend of AB horses and if want to look even further ahead 2026, 3mile chasers down the line.

Wingmen is on the provisional list although I’m a little concerned that he’s already worn a hood. Nicholls will have a strong hand I think and I’m hoping Captain Bellamy will prove a tough stayer for him.

I’d not be confident of getting it right again though


Edit: Just seen Captain Bellamy got stuffed again. I had some high hopes for Nicholls staying novice hurdlers next season but may have to rethink that.

And the year before, scooby put up Jazzy Matty for the Boodles so FJ is pretty exceptional to uncover winners of those two races so far out before the horses can even meet too many seasonal trends.

It'd be great if someone can tell me the winner of next year's mares novice as I've ballsed that race up every year so far...

…..tbf, the early 50-1 Jade and 20-1 BDA were very good shouts. I don’t think anybody predicted the winner. I’m sure FJs will have a few lined up.

We keep getting sucked into the Irish hotpots in this race. Even when Dysart Enos was out, I reckon most of us just felt even more so that it was a toss up between BDA and Jade.
