Ryanair 2019

Archie is that just the case in ireland as Townend goes the title?

Surely the #1 jockey gets the #1 pick at the festivals in the U.K.?
 
They want Paul to win the jockey title. Ruby will surely have first pick at Cheltenham.

Certainly the case in Ireland. We'll have to wait and see about the UK.
 
Raging it looks like willoughby court won’t be turning up here fancied him for this owners (Rooneys) worried about their horses getting injured! Can’t believe it it’s all about the competition the spectacle the thrill of Cheltenham the fans deserve to see them compete! Sure come on it could do a Vautour and break it’s leg in a field or in its box real pity sad to hear

Sorry, I think that's several miles over the top. I'd be fairly confident that your outrage is financial rather than the 'thrill'.

If you give them the £30k it's cost to keep him this last year since it ran, they might give you a say. The Rooneys have always been a bit flighty and it's one of the risks you take.

For what it's worth, if you've backed it NRNB, they've almost certainly saved you your money IMO.

They're the owners so can do what they want.
But there is no logic to this.
Just stupidity based on superstition. One horse runs out through some tape, and one breaks a leg on the flat.
They should just fuck off cos they're idiots
 
They're entitled to do what they want with their horses but the comments were irresponsible.
 
I dont know them personally, so choose my words wisely, but have no time for them anymore after left Donald McCain. As I say dont know them, or the full ins and outs of what actually happened, but DM was a trainer who i loved following, especially thier horses he trained! Now this statnent makes me baffled over them even more! Thier horses and can do what they like.
 
For me and many other national hunt followers Cheltenham is the pinnacle of the year of course they can do what they want but for the fans it’s disappointing not seeing the best vs the best a horse can get injured at any race course fact
 
I’ve just backed Aso for this immediately after that win.

20/1 each way NRNB
 
Aso wins quite well there, I think they will come here

But his future rating of within (assuming he goes up 6-7lbs) 3lbs if UDS is ridiculous


Money seems to be coming for Invitation Only which makes me happy!
 
Boum looked good
took 16-1 sky nrnb
 
Al Boum Photo would be a big player if he came here.

Already on at 20s NRNB from when 365 went NRNB, probably ends up Gold Cup anyway
 
Still 12/1 NRNB for Al Boum Photo.

That's decent enough isn't it?

RSA working out nicely
 
Henry de Bromhead just said Ryanair more likely for Monalee.
 
Does Min head here this time around, to try a Vautour?
