Supreme Novices 2018
- Thread starter jono
- Start date
Got to be a worry on breeding also that Getabird could get outpaced in the Supreme on good spring ground. If the cap fits would just about be my selection I think if looking at the race afresh today
You sure? just looked at it there? he won it in 4m38, Min did it in 4m0 and Last year it waa won in 3m59?
I wouldn't see that on breeding personally
his ptp trainer said he wanted good ground and being by Getaway it should be fine for him.
26th Jan 17 Gowran Park 11/10Fav*11-12*Mr P W Mullins*Getabird (IRE)*6, b g 11-2*(Mrs S Ricci)*
(4:05.0 9.57 secs faster*on today's going soft to heavy.
Fastest time of the day by some way.
Douvan (FR)*5, b g 11-0*(Mrs S Ricci)*
(4:04.5*10.07 secs faster*on today's going*)*
Walk In The Park (IRE)*- Star Face (FR)(Saint Des Saints (FR))*
You can't go by different years anyway. But 30 seconds your right I would have been worried.

Have always thought of Getaway’s as being mudlovers, maybe something I need to revisit though
Thats the wrong race? He's comparing Getabirds time in the Moscow flyer to the others when winning the same race
Getabird Moscow flyer 4:05.0
Douvan Moscow flyer 4:04.5
0.5 seconds. If your taking it literally.
Sky sports has the winning time as 4:38.10. Where are you getting your info?

Sky sports are incorrect. I assure you that's the official time
I can watch the 2 races next to each other.
Logically 30 seconds is miles wrong wouldn't be possible.

I wouldn't use SoySports Greasy. ATR, Racingpost or Sportinglife will be more reliable.
Like Scooby said, 30 seconds wouldn't be possible.

I use irishracing site for almost everything personally as you've got the trainers/ jockeys quotes along side all the form etc....

I'm not unduly worried about the ground as it was pretty good when he won his Bumper at Fairyhouse and he looked exceptional that day. The form may have not been that solid, but it was his debut to be fair to the horse... and he seemed to glide over the ground.
Always remember the Mullins quote after the race, saying that Patrick couldn't believe how quickly he picked up, so much so that he had to sit back down on him as it had been that instant.
That's when I started piling in for the Bumper :sorrow:
