That update really confuses the JP novice hurdlers outlook though. With Willie and Nicky’s fondness for the Supreme, it’s likely they’ll both want MW and JDR to be campaigned in that direction. ADTS has the form in the book and would likely head there too. Potentially this strengthens my view that DML will be the one to go to the Ballymore for Gordon. Really exciting times for JP and I really think he’ll have at least one novice hurdle winner this season and it’s not crazy to think he could sweep the board.

He is stacked this season that is for sure
 
Hugely exciting for JP. He fully deserves it. Put so much into NH Racing over the years. His group of Novices could dominate for a number of seasons now across both Hurdles and Fences.

"The first copies of One Jump Ahead are due to be sent out on Monday and the remainder will be despatched during the rest of the week."​
Pot luck to which day you'll receive yours but it will be this week if already ordered.

I'm flying out to the US on Thursday for a few days....
Am I going to be one of the lucky ones....??? (or come back next week having missed all the prices!!)

:biggrin-new: If you live anywhere near Liverpool you could always go and collect as a possibility?

I'm in the same position. Fingers crossed...

Unfortunately not..... :boxing:
If I'm "unlucky" - I'd consider paying the extra for the online version as well...

I'll record it as an audio book for you.

The Ptp dossier gets emailed out to those who subscribe, I have a friend who emails it me despite me buying the book annually as it's handy to have on the phone when out and about/racing at times. I can happily forward that section of it to you if you don't get it before you depart?
 
I was just about to post 'Hendo gushing at novice hurdler shock', you beat me to it.
Doesn't usually end well...

Noted the “by all accounts” the horse was extremely impressive in his ptp.

That implies to me Hendo hasn’t even watched a replay of the race.

If that’s the case, how seriously can you take his comments about the horse? In my book, not very.

I found that comment odd as well and a little naive.........from someone who should know better!
 
Hendo maybe knows he's burning a hole up and down his gallops , maybe Constitution Hill can't keep up with the beast :smile-new:
 
Nothing official yet, and provided Stuart Parkin hasn't been hacked on Twitter, it would appear Michael Grech, owner of the likes of Fils D''oudairies and prior to having to sell, I Am Maximus, as well, has passed away.

Sad news if true.
 
Any one had dealings with a tipster called Newmarket mole? Got someone asking me about signing up for 40 pounds a month but i have never heard of him?
