Ballymore (Previously Neptune) Novice Hurdle 2018

Any bloke who has a horse he claims to be one of the worst he owns that manages to win at the festival I am happy to ignore. All the actual horse racing people, Elliott, Codd, Russell etc... Are massively excited by Samcro which is enough for me, having ignored Codd last season regarding Labaik :sorrow:
 
Im a samcro fan.Not got a big price but happy with what i got to what hes now

Haha yes totally agree. Also managing to win a grade 1 at Punchestown festival as well.
 
Yet 'another' nice form boost for one of Scooby's big hopes, If The Cap Fits today, as Solomon Grey hacks up having been put in his place by ITCF LTO.

Good to see. ITCF should go ballymore that's always been his race but he'd have a good chance in a supreme so i wouldn't knock them if they went there.

One things for sure I'll be suprised when ever he gets beat.

Just looked and
Solomon grey hosed up and beat a good horse there. Once a huge purchase of Willie mullins before he failed his medical

I did notice that. I'd Hoover up all the prices on him above the books to be fair. If you add him could you add supreme and ballymore please

Not tizzard's style but if white moon was mine he'd be kept for the Lanzarote hurdle. Big pot and would be a near certainty off his mark.

Cant see on the blind side running over this trip but if he's declared I'll have a nibble ballymore at 3 figures. He's still learning on the job and could show a little more pace.
