Preview Evenings - links, details and write ups

[Magpie]

Skelton sounding ultra confident with Grey Dawing in turners if the ground is soft.

 

[HesTheOne]

Racehour one is up on YouTube

Do find it probably one of the funniest of the lot. Fogarty and Keith Donoghue are gas

Edit - DJ trying to cool the bashing of the sponsor MGM is worth the watch :highly_amused:

 

[Rooster Booster]

How confident did he sound about Tullyhill? I assume he was asked.

Sounded pretty lukewarm at best on Ile Atlantique.

Lukewarm doesn’t sound ideal for backers . Could you expand as this is the fella that owners are desperate for him to ride and your description suggests it’s not reciprocated :welcoming: he’s also quite important to Ballyburn destination you’d imagine.

Don't think he said anything at all about the Ballymore, just refused to answer aside from saying Ballyburn would win if he ran here.

Skelton name checks Le Milos pertempts, he seems hopeful ‘just coming to the boil’

I was interested in what he said specifically about Ile Atlantique? Am I being dense….not the first time and certainly not the last :welcoming:

 

[AnFiieLD.]

Said he loves Ile Atlantique, got robbed in the Lawlors etc and he actually pulled out a bit more than he expected there when he was joined by RTW. Did make a point though that he has been beaten now a few times when looking the winner. I wouldn't say he was as lukewarm as the poster above suggested personally and thought he was quite positive

Great much appreciated

Also said there's only so many times you can forgive a horse. Said he's a fan of the horse, don't recall him saying he loves him, maybe he did. Have been waiting for the vets so wasn't paying 100% attention.

Did definitely say he didn't not fight and actually went up in his estimations after that race, not sure if that's a good thing or if he didn't rate him that much before.

Then asked for who wins if Ballyburn doesn't turn up and he just said "something else".

Both positives and negatives in there, he obviously thinks he's a good horse. Maybe lukewarm was a little harsh but it wasn't exactly glowing either.

Maybe just one for people to watch themselves and see how they interpret it.

Thank you and hope everything turns out okay with your pet.

Thank you and hope everything turns out okay with your pet.

Thanks bud. She had an allergic reaction yesterday, then reacted to the medicine for that today. Was up until 4am last night with her as she was throwing up every 10 minutes.

Kept her on a bit of boiled chicken tonight and this was just a check up to see that she had kept it down and she seems to be progressing, the vet was happy with her though so hopefully I can sleep tonight and I don't have too much more vomit to clean up :highly_amused:

Sounds like she’s had a rough time bless her (and you for that matter) . Fingers crossed she’s on the mend soon.

 

[robith]

Proper chubby that Skelton.

Bit unnecessary

 

[Magpie]

Dan sounds sweet on Nurse Susan in Pipe, Saxon will be happy.

 

[Magpie]

DJ charity bet is Corbett’s cross, so can put the line through that one!
Grey Dawning for Turners for Skelton

 

[Dandrew99]

Watched it back, he did say he loves him, so comment withdrawn :highly_amused:

Still stand by the lukewarm comment, but with Willies lot you rarely get much more than that anyway.

 

[kinloch brae]

When Jennings started the Ballymore discussion he began by saying let's assume Ballyburn goes for the Supreme. More than a slant, and resulted in very little chat about Ballyburn actually being in the Ballymore. Far more talk about Ile Atlantique. It seemed to me that Jennings was doing his level best to push the horse.

The most interesting moment for me was Townend taking what seemed like an age to answer the question would the Ballymore be an easier race for Ballyburn? After all that thinking he still got the answer wrong. Deliberately?

 

[Nevertoolate]

Ballyburn shortening right up for the supreme and drifting again for BB. Mystical power also shortening significantly for baring Bingham. Anything said tonight?

 

[Lobos]

​​​​​​​FTF could be vulnerable in Soft ground over new distance to SAF

State Man wins. C Hill will not make the gaff

Teahupoo wins. Irish should run here

Grey Dawning for Turners for Skelton

What happened to the BANC being Grey Dawning first choice.......these cheeky trainers.
