Foxhunters 2019

CDB won his prep by 25L today.

:encouragement:

Not been able to see it.

Any alarm bells? Give himself a tough race?

Or a hack canter?



I only listen to races you see :p
 
Described by Rhys Williams on Twitter as 'sauntering to a 25-length win in the mixed open'...sounds like it was the perfect warm up spin round before the big one
 
I have been suckered in myself but is Stand Up And Fight the worst favourite of the meeting?

I can see it drifting massively, possibly double figures.

On favoured good ground it probably has something to find even allowing for another mediocre renewal. At this stage it seems it isn't going to any quicker than good to soft and a fair chance it will be softer than that.
 
Does anyone know the form for Irish Anthem? Three wins but nothing on Racing Post. Not sure why?

No.... hear he is flying. Wasn’t right for his PTP run and came back with a snotty nose..... Could get smashed up
 
Where did you hear that Don? If you don't mind me asking...

I heard similar. Bad ground would be a worry for me though.

...remember them calling him the expert this time last year. Can’t remember his selection, but I don’t think it won.

It was the Fav, that didn;t stay.
 
It was some work he did at the Curagh that was apparently very good

He knows his Hunter chasers but, like any punter, he isn't going to be right all the time.
 
After todays impressive performance it puzzles me why they pulled out Fenno's Storm in this, would have had a great chance.
 
Burning ambition? Did he go off fav, can’t remember now!

He did.

I led the BA fan club last year. Backed him from 12s all the way down. Was adamant he was the next big thing for the hunter chasing game. He travelled like the machine I thought he was. But he didn’t stay.
 
Where is Billymag?!? I want to give you a virtual cheers my friend

Mopped up that 25/1

What a festival
 
Looking forward to impending enquiry for DOC and Codd. What a ridiculous ride by both of them, Codd frequently does it in this race

big fan of them both but they never put their horse into the race unfortunately. Whether they thought the leaders were going to come back to them I'm not sure but S. Waley cohen certainly wouldnt send one off at breakneck speed. Definitely cant make up the best of 30 - 40 lengths in any race.
