Good day yesterday. No massive bombshells dropped. As it stands Imp et Passe is staying hurdling with the thought that he might be better over stayers distance in their mind (surely not!!! But worth mentioning), so if beat could go up to stayers. Nicky says they have pretty much made up their mind about Con Hill but wouldnt tell us what it is!! Epatante in foal. Kingy says that Trueshan working better than ever so might have to supplement for the Goodwood race if ground looks ok.

No bombshells........IEP may go Stayers..........that's a Bombshell!!:welcoming:
 
Trueshan going over Hurdles Billy ???
 
I just don't see any benefit keeping IEP over hurdles, didn't look like a 2 miler so I'd rule out the CH.

I thought he was a turners horse all day long, not so confident after what billy has said, the stayers thing has scrambled my brain even more now ! :biggrin-new:

Just feels like it'll he a wasted season, if they're going to step him up then does GW go chasing?

Sounds like they're aiming at CH and will only step up if he doesn't have speed for 2m in Open Company

Some very odd betting on Susanbequick in the 4.30 at Bath. 12/1 with B365, only 11/4 uni,3/1 Vic,7/2 boyles
 
Yeah on Imp et Passe, im sure that they will go for the CH and if beaten they might step him up depending the performance. Nicky also said that Mister Coffee will win the national!! lol. He was a bit tipsy to say the least so not sure how to take all that he said! He mentioned that Shishkin has been doing dressage!!! Who knows if thats true lol
 
I know you take Punchestown with a pinch of salt, but he couldn't have looked anything further from a Champion Hurdler that day

Adds a bit of weight to The Hill going Chasing maybe if they've made the decision to stay Hurdling with IEP. Have to say I'm surprised but could understand it more if The Hill wasn't there. Clearly Nicky's not going to tell anyone what he thinks!!

Thanks for info though Billy . I've only wasted a point on IEP and won't waste anymore!!
 
With the news that Imp Et Passe is staying over hurdles i have been looking at the Turners for hours and cant work out who the fuck is going to run in it now :grumpy:

….well Lobos is very keen on Good Land & I am tempted to include him in the Yankee but there is a few dissenting voices. I must stay strong :livid:

'He could make up into a Gold Cup horse' - Barry Connell dreaming big with his exciting Grade 1 pair. Barry Connell believes Good Land could one day be a Gold Cup contender as he prepares to unleash him alongside stablemate Marine Nationale at Cheltenham.

I'm not going to argue with Barry......he's a proper feisty sort.


Turners to Gold Cup........ been used before I believe........
