Champion Bumper ‘25

Of all the theories around Elliot's bumper horse ? and why Patrick's riding one today.
My favourite is that Elliot has fuck all this year. And he knows it.

Or … Willie has fuck all and Patrick is shopping for his Champion Bumper ride :teapot:
 
I think Gordon just wanted to see Patrick ride the worlds smallest horse for a laugh.

Slow pace, gave the front runner enough rope and quickened well clear. Good for the British PTP scene that there's a decent one to come out of it.

The Irish PTP horses we've seen so far all look pretty ordinary apart from the mare yesterday.

That winner doesn’t look big enough to jump a hurdle :excitement:

Classical Creek project in the bin for my 4yo pointers.
 
Such a shame Quantum Boy is OFTS, I've seen nothing exciting in the bumper sphere.

Was really hoping it would be Classical Creek, but back to the drawing board.
 
Koktail Brut is on my maybe list. Won his bumper very easily.

Willie rarely seems to start his good ones before Christmas now though, and I’d say that’s even more the case this year with the dry weather.
 
……Kalypso now a best 7-1 fav CB.
 
Why we worrying about a flat race eh Kevloaf :biggrin-new:

For context I was one of those idiots that cashed jadmin on a decent ticket last year when the exchange was being, let’s just say, a c**t.

There was a time when Gigginstown would not send their best animals to the festival bumper
 
That debut RPR of 126 was backed up soundly enough for me to start getting involved in kalypso, will take a really good horse on debut to beat that
 
Has anyone got those ultra important debut RPR stats? They actually havent let me down in the last 4 years ive nailed the winner 4 times and got 2 forecasts my most succesful race at the festival
