Supreme Novices 2018

Getabird is the horse who beat the horse.

Sharjah is the horse that beat real steel atm.
 
Can't see any betting angle in trying to guess now anyway with the Ricci/Mullins novices...

I wanted MK to win to make things easier, but that hasn't happened.

I don't think MK was disgraced though, still 2nd, jumped well and maybe will be better on better ground .... I still think he'll go for the Supreme .... 14/1 NRNB and 20s are probably right

Yeh no reason at all he won't go supreme he ran a good race. Just ran into one. Same way as many before him who went for the supreme.
 
Agree entirely Kev. Gave the winner 6lb and I also thought it was a very canny ride from PT as he nicked a few lengths at the start. Bit of an over reaction at 20/1. If Getabird is the winner, he might not be too far away 6lb’s better off.
 
ITCF formline takes a knock today. Can you really have a class2 & class4 horse winning a supreme. I nearly put it up as my lay of the week:highly_amused:

Diesse des bieffes ran a good race for a horse with little experiance he stayed on very well. . He's no if the cap fits he was dispatched easily. I'd have no problem backing diesse des bieffes over further in a handicap.

Who are you backing or have backed in this race just out of interest? :)

"Looking at that you would have to think he would be good enough for the Supreme Novices' but he will be entered in the Ballymore as well. He got some nice horses off the bridle there and he is on the way up."

Ive some tasty tickets on claimintakingforgan. and I backed getabird earlier this week having seen how this
has been a route WM has taken for supreme horses. I have a losing ticket on Red Jack. I will look to increase my stake on Getabird in the run-up to this race.
 
Is Getabird likely to shorten up , or will the price still be around 4's on the tuesday ?? . any idea's
 
Any idea why market suspended just entered a stake went to confirm the suspended :highly_amused:
 
New poster but been following avidly over the past few weeks, first Ante-post bets done today. Feels so real now I can't wait
 
“After his first run jumping I was a bit worried but certainly the way he jumped there he’ll be plenty good enough to run in a Supreme Novice,” he said.

“He’s jumped fantastic, way better than on his first run. I thought, ‘would he be able to jump at the speed they’re going here’, but, what can you say other than he’s very jumped well, made his own running and that I’m very happy.

“All that rain we had last night helped him, but he certainly seemed to have plenty of pace there.”

Of course, then comes the caveat.

“I don’t know what route we’ll go,” Mullins continued. “That was a good Supreme trial, but he'll be entered in the Ballymore as well. Jumping the way he did, that brings the Supreme Novice into the picture. He’s got some nice horses off the bridle there. If he stays sound it’s fingers crossed.”
 
Getabird, Small local bookies in Ireland still had 16/1 about getabird after the race today on the cheltenham slip and printed fine with no price change so I've had a bit on that. Also like Yorkhill In the Ryanair, Think Min will take on Altior so fancy Yorkhill to go there.. Will see whether UDS throws a spanner in the works however..
 
Getabird was very good today. You could def see a Ruby front running ride in the festival opener. We know he stays further so can be ridden positively a la Vautour et al.

IF he were to head to the Ballymore that IMO would move Next Destination to the Albert Bartlett.

Maybe Samcros plans hold the key to the Mullins placement?
 
Surely samcro goes to the Ballymore though? What would make him not
