Nunthorpe 2021

I'd be surprised if Coolmore didn't run it in The Coolmore Nunthorpe, I'll be devastated if it didn't run took 50/1 Palace Pier/Golden Pal with the Hills yourodds at he start of the season.
 
Wowsers Ramruma......fingers crossed for you. Great bet !

Within half hour that’s down 8 points to 20/1 what a joke :biggrin-new:

How big did you go RC? :watermelon:

Enough (across 5 accounts in the end, although I bet for two) to be bitterly disappointed if he doesn’t run in the Nunthorpe ...haha. The 28s was definitely still there when I posted and it ended up getting cut to 14/1 before the off.

This was from a few days ago. First 10 mins is Ward answering questions on Golden Pal. He’s asked about the next target and while he doesn’t confirm anything he spends a few mins talking about his previous Nunthorpe losses and does make it hard for me to imagine GP going anywhere else

If Golden Pal is being aimed at it I’ll be backing him at 5/1 over Battash at slightly shorter.

GP 4 years younger and the only other WW aimed at the race was lady Aurelia so he must think a lot of GP.

I’d want to see a prep run though or at least an entry before taking the 5/1 to be honest.

Only been getting into the Flat a bit more this last couple of seasons so just watched the video of this. No wonder Ward is keen to win this race what with Acapulco and Lady Aurelia, been a tad unlucky for one of them two not to have already won it
 
Great news for all backers. Good luck !!!
 
Be interesting to see how battaash does on Friday

Golden pal would look a pretty likely winner if the bat loses again
 
Battash looks a shadow of his former self currently. Golden Pal still 7/2 for the Nunthorpe still.
 
What do we think of the winner SUESA, he was a red hot favorite before somewhat of a flop at ascot (it was a bit of a bog) . Juts won that impressively and looks a little tasty on better ground. Golden Pal fan myself so interesting/worrying to see a new co-fav? When ward officially confirms hes targeting this race do we think his price will shorten as I feel like its still not official hes actually going here? Twitter dont appear to have cottoned on anyway....

He has confirmed the target in the video clip of my last post (earlier this week) although not yet picked up by the UK racing media is part of the reason GP’s price is holding along with the winner winning well of course

Someone posted a link a page back in this thread saying Ward is targeting this race for Golden Pal. Not sure if that has changed. Suesa doesn't have any quick ground form but trainer said they'd be better on it. Won well today.
 
Yes I think this page is ahead of the UK media as RC mentions. I just wonder weather that 7/2 PP and Betfair will last much longer when ward makes an official statement to UK media... SUESA looked good and but on speed figures it looks unlikely she will have the pace to catch Golden Pal at york 5f if the ground is good and if it isn't i suspect our ante post bets would be down the swany anyway!? . If she did go would she carry any sort of penalty for winning this race today?
 
The Nunthorpe is a group 1 7barrows so no penalties

I did read on another forum the owner had suggested suesa wont come here but haven't seen anything to confirm that is definitely the case

You would have to think The Maurice De Gheest would come under consideration for Suesa.
 
I doubt they'd run her again just a week and a bit after running today
 
Golden Pal was back working yesterday with a 4F breeze on the soft at Arlington.

Campanelle put in a 5F breeze at Arlington.

Not sure of the plans for Twilight Gleaming but she was also there and did a 4F breeze.
