The Big Getaway goes tomorrow at Leopardstown. I’m adamant he’s a Spud horse. He’ll be getting some money from me before he runs.

Definitely adding him as well.

33s any race makes sense.

PP only 20/1 for him to win the AB outright (best price 33s elsewhere)

So any race a delightful choice.


PP have the special double at 33/1 as well for today and Albert Bartlett which is awful compared to 33/1 any race, obviously :)

This is becoming a seriously good race with Fury Road, latest Exibition and Thyme Hill. Having backed all 3 start of the season any race pretty excited with this race but something always pops up at a huge price
 
Couldn't get going after that mistake at the last.

The Big Getaway looked good until then.

Wasn't sprinting away though coming up the the last so I definitely agree he looks to want further than 2m4f today.

He’s a big old stayer with a huge stride. Tailor made for the Spud race.
 
The big getaway out to 50's with unibet, surely that's an over reaction...
 
Definitely an over reaction, travelled well up until then but like so many of Willies didn’t finish its race off.

Yeah, I'd back that if I wasn't already on at 33/1 any race :highly_amused:

I might add it though anyway, it's a big price when I'm confident he'd have won without a mistake.
 
Very raw and difficult to see him being hard enough in time for this race. If he were mine I'd look to get in a maiden and a winners novice before Punchestown's G1 3m novice and give Cheltenham a miss.
 
The Ballymore Novices' Hurdle (Listed Race) at Cheltenham tomorrow looks more like an Albert Bartlett Trial to me. Redford Road was decent last time and looks to have a nice blend of speed and stamina. Welsh Saint also looks like a stayer too and could improve over the course of the season as he's also lightly raced.

Very interesting/sneaky that the Skeltons are running Protektorat as I'm not sure he's up to this level right now. They could be aiming him high to keep his mark reasonable for a handicap later in the season.
 
King Roland reappears tomorrow over 2m2f. I was hoping for a big step up in trip so that it would signal he could come here.
 
Midnight Run will show his true worth this weekend at Naas & hopefully look a AB sort all over staying on gamely in behind Envoi Allen! If it were to turn up very soft/heavy I’d actually give him a squeak but with the conditions looking a lot less testing it will play into EA’s hands with his turn of foot!

I’ll be getting stuck into Midnight Run in the w/o Envoi Allen market when available he’s massively overpriced currently at 20/1 :devilish: He was effectively pulled up after his race ending mistake in the Royal Bond, confidant his jumping will be far better when he’s racing more within himself at a more suitable trip.

Loved that today. Did say the Ballymore initially in posts earlier in that thread. Have him 'any race' and think that was the correct call.

Good news for anyone that has backed Son Of Camas

"I'd imagine we'll go to the Dublin racing festival now, and probably over two-and-a-half. We'll go wherever we can and try and plan a path to Cheltenham maybe and try and avoid the other fella!”
 
To me Thyme hill looks banker material here. Haven’t gotten to the bottom of him yet ........ certainly isn’t slow as he’s shown over shorter trips but he’s only going to improve for 3 miles. Doesn’t waste any energy through his races and I’d say if there’s one horse that could potentially trouble Envoi it’s him. For the joy of racing he should go Ballymore but for my wallet he needs to come here hahaha

Can't imagine he'll take on Envoi in Ballymore. He is a worthy fav for the Albert and the one to beat on what we've seen.
