2026 Champion Bumper

Elliott done his usual and pulled one. Keep Him Company is out.
Would explain why the jockeys were the way they were. How does he get away with this. I don't see the point of declaring them, unless he does it to see which horse would prefer the ground on the day.

If anyone didn't watch the Future champions at Navan, worth a watch

Jesus christ OH MY WORD was ultra impressive there.
 
First wow performance in terms of bumper horses for me that, reckon JP will end up snapping it up

….as per @Saxon Warrior planner, it is a race with decent Festival links. I tried 40-1 PP but they were quick to cut to 20-1.
 
Unsurprisingly cut into favouritism now across the board

Managed to nab 40s as he crossed the line

An early life if anything

That turn of foot was electric and push of the button stuff

Hopefully can do the same on quicker ground but don't see no reason why he wouldn't
 
Maybe I'm just a bit hard to impress, but panjandrums form is desperate. The ground at navan also looks desperate to the eye. And smaller connections probably have oh my word fit as a flea to get him sold. I would have taken 40s if I was paying attention but 16s I'm happy to leave.
I am happy to leave these sorts anyway. Might be a machine but how many of these bumper winners are tuned to the bollocks to get a big buyer. They always get sucked in too. Might be an aeroplane but i am more than happy to leave this one alone.

Tbf, if they were solely thinking of selling him on, they'd have had him ready for his life on debut

Owner apparently not short of a bob or 2 so no guarantee he's sold either

It looked very good on the eye i can't argue with that and is by far and away the best bumper performance so far. He will never be 40's again so you have done well there. Maybe risking the account too ;) :D

:D :D See if i have it written down,

The ones i have left to watch or back have the initials, AE, BB, JALW, MP, SW, TIA

Any joy? :D:D
 
You're missing WL
I did have that written down at one point and scrubbed it out. There must have been a reason. The form reads well to be fair Zack, and it's got THAT breeding again. I might entertain adding it and if it wins i will leave you a pint at your local being a Wiganer :ROFLMAO:

I need to try and remember why i chalked it off :cautious:
