Especially with Davy now retired

Gordon will be trying to get him to reconsider I'd imagine

Forgot Davy!!

He does have some good young lads who may well get their chance now.

I know we generally hear about the good punting but I've genuinely not had a worse days punting for as long as I can remember :hopelessness::boxing::black_eyed:

It was one of them days that I question everything about how I approach horse racing and if I should even bother!

I might sign off until Cheltenham and then just after time the s**t out of it, thats how bitter I'm feeling about the day :highly_amused:

Anyway, I hope you all had better days than me, it wouldn't be hard to :encouragement:

On to Naas tomorrow :rolleyes:

Just catching up now and to those that replied to this, you've mostly made me feel a bit better except Lobos for gloating about Love Envoi & Tahmuras :devilish: I'm only messing, well in :encouragement:

I feel I was just having one of them days. It was busy enough anyway, so I was struggling to keep tabs on the racing, to then watch them all go to s**t was frustratingly painful. Literally everything I backed lost :boxing:

I would say it was nice to see I'm not alone but I'd much prefer you all to be winning tbh. I hope a lot of those who have been in bad form manage to turn it around, even more so as we head towards the festival itself :)

Doesn’t sound good for Jack after todays fall. He’s had rotten luck with injuries the last few years. Big blow for Gordon.

Admittedly not got the knowledge of die hard/veteran racing fans and I know this lad started early but has any jockeys had such a bashing in their first 5 years of pro riding? He seems to get a bad injury every season with a couple of side lines to boot :cower:

I see Gordon Elliott has posted this morning a photo of Jack Kennedy at Naas so fingers crossed it is not as bad as first feared!

On crutches obviously and has a cast on his right leg. Hopefully a speedy recovery!

Great to see him out for sure, you’d be thinking 2 months at best to be back firing on a broken leg… Think Gordon said it was the lower part of his leg yesterday?

He did the upper thigh on the same side at leopardstown and he was out for 6 or 7 months which is obviously much worse to break.

Fingers crossed for the lad but wouldn’t hold my breath he’ll be riding Gordons at Cheltenham.. unless the injury is not as bad as I am guessing
 
Some commitment to be back there the next morning on crutches. Great attitude on the lad. Hope he's back for the festival.

Christ. That's normally 8 weeks just for the bones to heal (assuming no surgery). Surely not enough time before Chetls.

Yea poor divil, you’d assume he won’t feature at Cheltenham now maybe back in time for Grand National and then onto Punchestown.

Shame was looking a good battle between him and Paul this year.
 
Gallops of Closutton claim another..

Minella Cocooner, The Nice Guy, Ferny Hollow, Capodanno, Sir Gerhard, James Gate, Redemption Day, No Risk No Fun, Tornado Flyer… Classic Getaway..? Allaho..?

Mullins injury list is an absolute 5 star stable team.

trainers would kill to have just one of them.

never mind train all 11 and have them wrote off

That does seem like an awful lot of horses, I know he has a big yard but it does always seem like he gets more injuries than any other trainer. Probably uses the same medical team as Liverpool....

Poor chaps having a terrible run of it. Maybe it's not going to be his year this year. Think I've backed 6 of those :sorrow:
