….be interesting to look back at this thread in a weeks time. If I remember rightly, I don’t think any nominated doubles went in last year :distrust:
 
The best and most successful was the Allaho Minella Indo double :applouse:

Absolute cracker that was!

And to cheer on the gold cup winner makes it feel even better in a way :biggrin-new:
 
I think if Minella Indo never gets any bigger than current prices then he's one I'm prepared to let go and will take on the chin if he does the business. I will however dabble in the related double with Allaho (Ryanair) who is another that I do like but is too short for me to really get involved in at this stage. Allaho/Minella Indo have continuously tied in closely together over their careers to date - their top novice hurdle form translated to the top of the novice chase division and if they can continue that into open company then they are both destined to take high rank.

Yeah like that a lot VF.

I love it actually.

Both 10/1 with 365

Which is 120/1

1 pt e/w



I like Allaho for the Ryanair already and if he won the Ryanair I would be very much thinking it was a boost for Minella Indo's chances.

Good work.

​120/1 means we only need one to land every couple of years Eggs :highly_amused:
 
….well, if it was a barren thread last year, then we’re due one.

Just hope it’s the ‘Returning Venetia’ one I put up; Funambule (CC) & Pink Legend (MC).

Loved the angle I listened to from Gary O'Brien about Irish horses handicapped over here already, so have been assessed relative to the UK horses, whereas the other Irish have run against other Irish then had a tax added...... Shoot First and Stumptown hit this theory and it's made me really, really fancy them.

Doubled them up e/w at 26.5/1 whilst doing this. I think it's a very interesting angle and I totally see the logic.
  • Who else fits the bill, can we find ourselves an Irish handicapper multiple where they're technically not taxed in the same way?
 
Like the idea. Would Run For Oscar count? Got his 147 rating over here, ran in Ireland again since, but runs off his British Mark (147) in the Coral Cup.
 
Think there’s a good few isn’t there off the top of my head? Dads lad, mr incredible, Salvador ziggy, filey bay, colonel mustard, probably more.

Yeah definitely....​

Yeh, excellent, will be quite a lot.... I think they're worth really looking at and shortlisting....

Shoot First (Salvador Ziggy, An Taillieur) from same race ... so we'd need to pick which one etc.

What have the results been like in past years for those horses??

I watched him discuss this and thought he was being stupid.
They just paid their tax upfront.
same difference.
