Ballymore Novice Hurdle 2020

Can't Catch Me said:
Totally agree Jackie. Given connections its hard to make a case for NOT backing him at 33/1 with the cashout option. Adding him now. Bloody hell, I'm going against my intended strategy and its still October... up to 5 in this race already :triumphant:

Reassuring when I read the above :-)
I am not alone :-)
Festival Fever is contagious :-)
 
Not easiest maiden for envoi allen tomorrow.
Mullins running an interesting horse, Zenon, off the flat.
And the four mcmanus horses look no mugs either.
decent test first time up, expecially over 2 miles

The four McManus horses will probably be running out the back trying to get a nice mark :highly_amused:

I'm assuming he'll be 2nd fav. But entoucas as a 2nd season novice is absolutely no mug.

Himself and elixir d'ainay could do very well this season.

yep, entoucas. zenon and front view all potentially useful
 
If Envoi Allen wins today, will the bookies cut him further?

What will be the shortest price by the end of racing today?

I cant see how. But they'll always find a way. 4/1 maybe. But hes already at an unbelievable low.

Think if he wins easily today we could see him go as low as 3's. Pathetic but he is the talking horse this year and the bookies are running scared. Would imagine he is already their biggest loser and also doubles with Malone Road in the Supreme will push his odds down.
 
Samcro was 9/2 after his win I believe, would expect similar across the board

I'd say he'll go around that price as long as the performance is in any way authoritative. Probably even some 3/1 in places.
It's mad but he's guaranteed to be cut though
 
Lovely start from him, looks super. I don't suspect any of the opposition would make it close to Supreme or Ballymore, but stiffer tasks await, and I am sure he can take them in his stride also.
 
Bet365 and others go 3/1.
A phrase far too often used in racing but he really does look a monster of a horse.
So much talent and potential. Just what you wanted to see today
 
Already into 3's
 
Very, very exciting.

The prices assuming he'd make the transition to hurdles in his stride weren't wrong!

That first hurdle made me laugh, just like he stepped over it, he's a big old unit.
 
Have no singles for Envoi Allen but plenty of Doubles with Samcro , Gypsy Island and Malone rd.
 
Gordon Elliott on Envoi Allen: "We think the world of him, we think he could be anything. He showed a lot of pace there today. He wouldn't want to be stepping up in trip too much for the time being. He's very, very good."
