Supreme Novices 2017

So with all the speculation over Senewalk, has anybody seen or heard of anything else that may challenge for the opening race, I am keen on Moon Racer, also want to see Mullins others ( Koshari, Admiral Chief etc)

Koshari could be running at Naas on Saturday. Will be interesting to see if it wins well what RR will do.. maybe I should of not put my eggs all in one basket with Senewalk :/

Think your eggs are pretty safe.

Moon Racer at Cheltenham this weekend, could be clear Fav come Monday if all goes well

Now is the fav, anyone worried about the speculative Champion Hurdle comments?

... I'm not...

and did NTD mention a step up in trip for Ballyandy? The pundits did elude to it on something I saw but I didn't see/hear anything conclusive. I had a very speculative double after the Perth run just in case we'd witnessed a race for the ages back on the early season day haha :highly_amused:
 
i thought Moon Racer was excellent and proved he has a real turn off foot, to do that off a slow pace marked him down as a very serious horse for this. We know he can travel at championship pace and if they stick to novice company i could see him going unbeaten. The Senewalk price is ridiculous even before you start to compare the achievements of Moon Racer.
 
I think Moon Racer is the right fav now ... it wasn't a two horse race and he won it with a turn of foot. as a bumper winner it can't be terrible form ...

If moon racer and senewalk swapped stables but had the exact same races to date, senewalk wouldn't even be quoted and moon racer would be no bigger than 2/1 ?

Was not really impressed with much in the Supreme trial on Sunday. Hoping Senewalk can blow all that out of the water...

You'd have to think Senewalk has more potential bad on everything we have heard so far ... Koshari was out of the race before she got in it, maybe fitness?
 
yeah a few fair points I must say relating to the hype of it being a RR horse and the record he has in this race, so agree with you on that aspect of things. To say MR was excellent is being very generous.. They got the tactics right but was not a smooth ride and if that is "excellent" then I do think it is very beatable, but only my opinion..

As its RR main horse for this race I would side with him from past experience but can take the points on board that MR has won races this season to back up the claims.. no doubt this will all back fire on me when it turns out to be a flop in its first race loooool
 
The pace did not play to his strengths in my opinion and it was his pace that was the impressive thing whilst only been ridden out. If it was a stronger run race id of thought he would of won better and looked more impressive, either way about opinions and perceptions and thought it was excellent, and i would be surprised if he is beaten this season if kept to novice company.
 
It wouldn't surprise me if Senewalk didn't turn out to be RR's number one hope in the supreme.
 
I've heard bits and pieces and Senewalk has never been mentioned to me. Which ever way you look at it though, 12/1 for a horse that has never run for connections before is ludicrous. Put him with another trainer and he'd be a minimum of 33/1

They've been 'right' with the ante post one for the last few years... unless you count the Alleiz Colombiere (Spelling) season.

I still think Ricci tried to buy Melon, so I think that is the most likely to be the best Supreme horse in the yard, pre-season. No substance though.

I was under the impression he started all (CF, Vautour, Douvan, Min) in the same race in December... but checked my facts and that isn't the case...

He is going to be unleashing one of the huge guns this weekend in the Morgiana so could very well be.... fingers crossed!
 
Mullins has entered a lot of his Novice big guns this weekend -

Senewalk
Riven Light
Timi Roli
Crack Mome

Whichever runs across the couple of races - markets are going to move
 
Add in Jenkins at Kempton and there's the potential for the Supreme to have a shake up come Monday evening
 
I can't wait to see them run, but at this moment I am happy with where I stand with MR, his experience of those two bumper runs will be massive should he line up come the day, hopefully they can keep him fit for the rest of the season
