2026 Juveniles

Another note from that stable tour

They're running mustang du breuil in the adonis "because he needs three runs for the fred winter". He also didnt name check any race in particular for manlaga.

If mustang is beat, or given an "educational" ride, does that mean manlaga might end up in the triumph? With fantasy world being beat and feel gut apparently unlikely, Henderson doesn't have much for it. You might have thought mustang would be all out for the win in the adonis to be the triumph horse, but I wonder if it might end up the other way around. Mustang only rated 126 so they may think he's even better handicapped than manlaga.

They could of course both run in the fred winter too. Jp makes the decisions but if he doesn't care much about the fred winter he might just let Henderson split them if its what he wants.
 
Then get on betfair and take the lay bets I've put up, if you're keen
You'll have to rely on someone else I'm afraid, Betfair and me haven't seen eye to eye for a year or more

Not even on the exchange ?
They stopped me on sportsbook after half a dozen bets but no problem with exchange.
Or is it you that fell out with them ?

Sportsbook binned me when Martin Kaymar won the US Open, 15 years ago ?
The issue a year back was exchange, it's legal now...
 
You're probably joking. But I'd say you're better off just taking the 20s for the Adonis than the 50s for the Triumph... If you really thought he had any chance in the latter.
 
Hendo has declared Fantasy World in the Adonis and Mustang De Breuil in the Dovecote on Saturday.
 
Interesting Bowen retains the ride also

JP going double handed in the FW with Nico on Manlaga?

Or is Nicky still hoping Nico rides FW in the Triumph so leaving James on Mustang
 
Ireland have won the last 8 runnings of the Fred Winter with JP horses also dominating proceedings.
 
Due an English horse then
Definitely due one. Ireland have also won the last 6 Triumph hurdles so you have to say their Juveniles have been miles clear for some time now.

Have to say I’m astonished that FW is entered up after that display the other day and a tad surprised that Mustang is not in the race.
Trying to work out why……..I don’t see MDB being supplemented to Supreme,although of course it’s possible.more like bit more experience,maybe Aintree? or could be looking to next season perhaps.
Might ask Hendo if I get the chance as I’m there Saturday.
Absolutely ain’t got a clue re FW!!

Mustang be easier buried in the Dovecote, against high 120s horses, receiving weight.

Much better placing from Hendo.
 
Well yes, if the Fred Winter is in mind.
I’m not convinced.

That's what Hendo suggested to the RP. It looks great placing. An average enough renewal. The better horses are surely only mid 130's horses at best. And he's getting 10lb from the head of the market. Anything but a win and he is surely left untouched on 126.

The fact he's getting him out so soon after his debut run for the yard I'd say that's the plan alright

Unless he hoses up and goes Triumph :ROFLMAO:

But why would Nico not be on board @ Kempton

That's the huge pointer for everyone.
