I attended the festival preview last night at the claddaghring.
In attendance
A.King
D.Jacob
A.Thornton
S.Boyce
And a couple more that I can't remember.

The panel were all in agreement that Santini won't run??
They also stated Fakir Doudaries won't run either. He scooped badly apparently.

King won't have a runner in the Ultima.
I asked Jacob "of all his outside rides at the fez what was his biggest fancy-Le Breuil in the Ultima.
King spoke highly of his bumper horse and then napped Blue Sari??? go figure.
They were all very sweet on Hazel Hill for the Foxhunters.
They were all over Magic Saint, said it couldn't get beat??
The usual chat about the main races.

...cheers, particularly good to hear the upbeat Le Breuil report.

You need to look at the four miler thread Eggs
 
No sign of Fakir drifting. How would that lot know anyway?

Bit like when henderson commited Footpad to champion chase the other night. Now he might have a clue, but he don't know for sure.
Sounds like they were talking a lot of rubbish last night. They effectively ruled santini and fakir out ??
Should get a warning for stuff like that.
If I was the trainer of those horses I'd be on the blower sharpish.

Seems to be the way of it with most of them Q. Bit of a circus.

Did you not shout

"SOURCE"

when they said it Doc ?

They'd get dog's abuse on here for stuff like that.
 
Wasn't a dig at you mate. Heard the same rumour from Andy Holding as well now.
 
How Sean Boyce has a job in racing is beyond me! He’s absolutely clueless
 
If there was/is a problem with Fakir D'Oudairies then it doesn't reflect very well on Kevin Blake, does it?

He must know the inside track on O'Brien's horses.

Same when he was tipping up Mortal for the RSA when it had already been stated that the horse was going JLT.
 
Can not wait for betfairs preview tonight, by far the best line up...

The panel, chaired by Racing Post correspondent Lee Mottershead, will feature Betfair Ambassadors, Paul Nicholls, Gordon Elliott, Joseph O'Brien and Olly Murphy, Racing Post tipster, Paul Kealy, Racing TV pundit Gary O'Brien, and a number of special guest appearances, including the Festival's most-winning jockey Ruby Walsh and our in-running tipster The Betting Guy.

Yeah, first bloke JP calls. Finger on the pulse - puts up Quick Grabim 3 weeks after he gets injured!

So why cant I back Fakir at a million?
