Was due to run at DRF too.....that went well.

Believe it when I see it, but I suspect the Donnelly's will want to keep him back for next season.

I don't really understand why running in the Triumph would affect that

He'll be a novice next season unless he wins the Triumph, and if he wins the Triumph I don't think they'll be disappointed?


it is NRNB as well so you weren't really making a point :eagerness::biggrin-new:

Willie not against using the option of a second season novice either

But if hes fit run him, if he wins hes Triumph winner and loses then run him next year, nothing to lose.
 
If beaten next Friday what would they do with Salvator Mundi ?
Lock him away for a novice campaign next season or go for a Punchestown/Aintree pot ?
If they've looked after him until now it suggests they want a 24/25 novice to work with, the noise around his Triumph participation might be just that, noise, perhaps intending to get the competition thinking about their plans....

A fraction of what will be going through Willies head if Constitution turns up.:biggrin-new:

Il Etait Temps ran at Leopardstown, Cheltenham, Punchestown all in G1s and then had a G1 winning novice campaign.

I think they'll let him take his chance in the Triumph myself. I think there are other examples but I don't care enough to check :highly_amused:

I guess the main point of information atm is someone saying that Patrick Mullins, an amateur jockey, but a professional liar, told them
 
Salvator has been in training most of the season and remains in training, which probably means they may run him grade ones at the festivals. Like others have said, nothing to lose really.
 
We had our Preview Evening at Towcester Racecourse yesterday. Daryl Carter, Jaime Wren, Dave Young, and Myself. I know there were some members on here in the audience and it was great to meet them, and we really appreciate the support. We also made a nice sum for the retired greyhound charity, and thanks to everyone who contributed. Whether that be donation of prizes or monetary donations.

Unfortunately we had an issue with the live recording which we had intended to put out today, so I'm trying to recapture any notes that were taken, and if I can I'll post them on here. We are now intending to do a summary of the evening and selections on Tuesday Evening on the Cheltmental YouTube channel. We need to discuss whether we put it out live or just record and put it out afterwards, so I'll update for those of you guys who might be interested. There was some really good stuff on there and plenty of debate, plus some left-field selections with some well reasoned cases made. I'd also say it would be well worth a watch/listen for the handicap selections because of some of the info behind them.
 
Nicky Henderson was pretty open last night and NDB said a few useful snippets. Doddiethegreat is well handicapped, wants to run in the Coral Cup but on the cusp of the safety limit. Will go to the Pipe if he has to with him. No one asked him who would ride in the boys race unfortunately. Iberico Lord remains on a good mark but is better with cut whilst Under Control "if the ground is good she comes into this big time". Henderson said - She did get a small knock that prevented her running at Kelso and/or Nico had a spring/summer plan for her. (She's clearly thought to be on a great mark) Walking On Air "wants fences and can do some damage when he's right" . Nico's nap was Sir Gino and had zero trip worries/thought Shishkin would have won the KG as he had plenty left. Champ will wear headgear. First Street showing up well at home and now on a better mark, probably Coral Cup.

But not Con Hill. So filmed between midday and 4pm :excitement:

Morning i'd say

They made a cut to the recording when talking about the champ hdle, so had definitely already spoken about that race
 
If that was the case they have somehow (deliberately?) ignored the exchanges in respect of Ballyburn. Not surprising as all three have long pushed for Ballyburn going Supreme. Given that a 14/1 bet is no argument for running in a race, Hislop reduced to dredging up the pulling rubbish. Embarrassing herself.

Thats a very good point yeah

At what time did the exchange movements come in? Suppose it could have been very early recording this morning

Definitely today as the clothes they're wearing:glee::glee:
