Leopardstown - Last min Cheltenham ride outs.

[Liam301287]

Anyone know what horses are having a run out after the races today? Be interested to what kind of nick they are in heading to Cheltenham.

 

[Faugheen_Machine]

Yorkhill and Djakadam are having a spin.

 

[Faugheen_Machine]

Bellshill is another

I imagine Identity Thief will be staying at home.

I'd pop him back over hurdles at Punchestown... give it another go next year.

 

[Faugheen_Machine]

Great field has plenty of pace - ideal for the 2m novice chase at Aintree?

Not sure Mullins will want any horses at Aintree this year.... got a fight on in his own back yard :highly_amused:

They said Ivanovich Gorbatov is having a ride out after.

I will have absolutely no fun at all watching the JLT. Yorkhill is bonkers.

 

[TheRowebot]

My thoughts exactly. First three was nightmare stuff, at least he did "dance in front of the board" following that as Fitzy would say..

 

[Faugheen_Machine]

Fitz is painful. Saying Bellshill's fall 'isn't a positive' kind of sums the guy up.

Hopefully mad brilliance :encouragement:

He was taking some hold at the end

:encouragement: Might as well employ a horse to sit in his seat and just rear up randomly and try and glean some insight from that rather than listen to anything he says.

I think Fitz has a bet on with someone regarding how many times he can use the phrase "this horse" after a while I shut him out, he knows the racing world but he doesn't have what it takes to be a presenter, every now and then maybe, but for goodness sake bring back Francome

 

[Old Vic]

Mick is one of the good guys.

Love listening to Francome - he does one of the previews - maybe Ladbrokes.

From twitter..

Mullins confirmed that Yorkhill is JLT-bound. "He was out to his left at the first and then jumped big and gave himself a fright at the next but Ruby said that he was electric after that. He might have another schooling session before he goes across," said Mullins

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Can you spare a few minutes? Watch JLT Novices' Chase favourite Yorkhill (rear) school with Arbre De Vie and Blazer earlier.

The Mullins-trained Arbre De Vie could be heading for the four miler at Cheltenham but handicap chase entrant Blazer may not travel

 

[jono]

Thanks for that OV. Yorkhill gets more talented and more bonkers in equal measure every time I watch him

 

[MrMcGoldrick]

He covers the ground beautifully and gets better as he warms up, wouldn't want to lay him that's for sure
