Punchestown festival 2024

County hurdle or martin pipe?

:biggrin-new::biggrin-new::biggrin-new:

She also said 'the sky's the limit ' with him so yeah......County Hurdle I reckon.
 
Can feel it coming

All the favs gonna lose bar the one iv taken on in teahupoo :boxing:
 
I'm done betting on punchestown now I'm the exact same, lost enough for my liking

Think iv had 6 bets 5 2nds or something like that

Thankfully redemption day won so I'm very marginally in front
 
Perceval Legallois and Lark in the Mornin. 9-2 and 11-4 look really good prices I reckon.

Might go a bit mad.:surprise:

Ferns Lock also looks a nice enough price at 8-1 but that race looks a lot trappier, although the favourite is surely gonna be done for speed at some point.
 
There's some cracking after timing at Punchestown I'll give it that.
 
Just a Patent for me today ....
.............................................. 1.- Tactical move ........ - 4- 15. - 5-1. - u/p.
2.- Brides Hill . ............- 4-50. - 11-8. - 1st. :triumphant:
3.- Dontstopthemusic . - 7-40 . - 6-1 . - 1st . :triumphant: .good Luck :welcoming:.

Lots of outsiders came in yesterday but not those I picked! Longshot lucky 15 E/W for pennies..
4.15 Feu de Bresil 20/1 - dropping down the weights and 2nd behind Mr Policeman in November

5.25 Boss Robin 25/1 - won last three and still open to progress

6.35 Jimmy de Seuil 33/1 - distant second to Ballyburn at Cheltenham and taking a chance he could repeat the performance here

7.05 Mighty Bandit 14/1 - beat Lark In The Mornin here last November​
 
Another 2nd on perceval legallois

Gambling gods not being kind this week

That's me done for punchestown
 
​​​​​​Wish I'd made this call on Monday.

To top it off my plan was if perceval won to reinvest some of the winnings on a brides hill/it's on the line double so of course they both won lol

When you're lucks out your lucks out

Maybe I'm saving it all for the guineas and ryan moore is gonna fall off city of troy 10 yards from the line with one of mine 10 lengths behind and I get the luckiest win of all time
 
Another blank yesterday - picked the wrong outsiders! Today's longshot Lucky 15 e/w for pennies...

2.30 Cash Back 33/1 - former graded chaser coming in fresh, and taking a chance the switch in yard will spark a comeback.

3.05 Landen Calling 28/1 - Fergal O'Brien raider who won Lincolnshire National off same mark at Christmas

4.15 Minella Crooner 25/1 - back down to more suitable trip and Gordon Elliot / Sam Ewing have been in good form over the festival

5.25 Lucky Zebo 12/1 - progressive and could be Rachel Blackmore's last ever ride - would be a fitting send off for one of the stars of the sport​
 
Hoping that Wonder Woman Lossie will dazzle again and win with her head in her chest today . Could end the day joint fav for the Champion Hurdle and make the Ballyburn decision easier for Willie.

Thought City of Troy would be long odds on. Very surprised that he's 8/11. Just 1lb below Frankles 2yo rating he should dot up.
 
Wonder Woman imperious.

Champion Hurdle beckons.

Super Mare.
