RSA Chase 2020

I’d expect him to win but I’ve written off the RSA for him now. Fiddlerintheroof in the first looks like a nice Tizzard/Power double.

Trying to behave on the betting front for a few weeks. Got a bit of ink booked for Dec after she gave me the go a head :triumphant:
But can always find a few £ for a bet :)

Tizzard yard in pretty dire form but at least these two have had a run already.

One of my favourites. He was very unlucky when suffering a tiny knee fracture when falling on his Chepstow chasing debut last season. Everything has gone well since his return and he’s been schooling away fine, so following a racecourse gallop at Wincanton at the weekend he’s just about ready to start. We’ll go back novice chasing, starting somewhere small and then hopefully creep up. Despite his obvious lack of experience he possesses a huge amount of ability.

Excellent. Just what I wanted to hear.
 
From Racing Post

Eddie O’Leary concluded: “We certainly won't run Samcro and Battleoverdoyen against each other in the Drinmore. Hopefully Samcro will get there in one piece. We might look at the Florida Pearl [at Punchestown on November 17] for Battleoverdoyen. He wants three miles.”

Blimey, looks like they are giving us fez targets early this year ....get those Samcro JLT and BOD RSA doubles sorted !!

Thanks for posting and just what I want to hear.
 
Cap York didn't give Battleoverdoyen's form any sort of franking at all today.

He's pencilled in for the Florida Pearl on Sunday so we'll get an even better idea then I suppose.

Glamorgan Duke up in the next, will also guide.
Although to be fair to Battleoverdoyen, he wasn't really asked any questions and only did what was neccesary.
But would certainly be nicer for backers to see beaten horse running well.
 
Really looking forward to the Florida Pearl on Sunday. I have a feeling there will be no middle ground with BOD after that and he will either win and be a hugely exciting RSA prospect, or lose convincingly and go down as one to forget with a view to the RSA. Obviously hoping for the former, let's see what happens

If he loses convincingly then you'd 100% be throwing your bets in the bin. It's a fairly weak race so he'll have to be winning and with something in hand to be up to RSA standard imo (note I do like him and have backed for the RSA). Has no excuses really so any defeat i'd be very disappointed

Absolutely, he will have zero excuses vs that lot.
 
Thankfully only minor. Clearly been showing plenty at home and the talk coming out of the yard couldn't be better.

Think he will end up Patrick's mount in the 4 miler. Looks like he needs a proper trip. Patrick will forget to enter him in RSA.
 
Yeah, I don't see Allaho in the NH Chase. They have Brahma Bull and/or Carefully Selected (if he turns out not to be up to the top level over 3m).
 
Yh if I was playing Mullins bingo now I'd have
Laurina - Arkle
Melon - JLT
Allaho - RSA
Carefully Selected - NH Chase

Hopefully he will be back to us soon enough. We’ll see when he comes back, what shape he’s in and what he’s done. We’d hope to go novice chasing with him, but if he’s back too late, we might wait until next season.
