Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2019

Disappointing. Looks like he needs more racing to sharpen up

Good decision imo. He was left in midweek so you know he was sound. I wouldn't want him running in that race on that ground personally. Looks a brutal one to me.

I think you'd rather he ran and bolted up

If he did, would he come back sound. Or have left his race there
I genuinely don't. Id rather he found somewhere with a bit more give over shorter and save it for the big day.
 
Glad he's not running, would have been embarrassing when Salsaretta beat him :devilish::highly_amused:
 
Is anyone of the opinion that if salsaretta won here they might run her in the ballymore ?
Seems to want a trip ?

if he's not had a slight issue then it smacks of keeping the dream alive to me.
Don't want bubble bursting.
I'd imagine he's not absolutely 100% and they may also think similarly to you.

Anyone know the latest ground report (today) as they had some sleet yesterday, but unsure how much.
anyone any idea ?

they appear to be campaigning her similar to lets dance, who was also a second season novice, but ran against boys once or twice.
She went mares novice, but who knows?

Seems a slightly different type than let’s dance
Like I say she appears to need a trip
Also,looking at the ballymore,surprisingly there is no Mullins horse prominent in the betting
 
She's not slow, despite the impression she may give. Make all on her in the Mares Novice I say.

But the 33/1 tickets are probably causing me to be just a little bit bias.

her run last time suggested that, but it may have been deceiving, due to the leader being left alone and her having to chase him down on her own.
Lets dance ran twice over 2 and a half prior to cheltenham, at xmas and then in this same race (nathaniel and lucy) tomorrow.
But the team this year may be split up differently as you've referred to.

Redzone 40/1 Dunvegan might interest some.

Only bookie I'm not with.

Anyone had issues with them?

I'd perhaps tickle 40/1.
 
Cannot find the Original post now or who it was but RE Clarendon Street, a mate of mine is also in that syndicate and he got the email from 'Nicky' on the 7th Jan saying CS will bypass Cheltenham.

Seems they may have had a change of heart as he now has entries in this and the AB
