Supreme Novices 2018

I think Sharjah is Mullins Supreme horse and backed him in an open race, Getabird for the Ballymore and Next Destination for the Potato race.

Agree. Think that gives Mullins the best chance of winning all three races and think that’s how it will play out, assuming two things: that Sharjah wins the Deloitte impressively, that it’s good spring ground at the festival

Completely agree and happy others are getting on it. Too much Getabird hype for the Supreme, although if I had 5/1 or above I would be sitting happy. I'v been nibbling on Sharjah 12.0 and Getabird 13.0 on the exchanges this week.

Sharjah was 1.04 when falling at the last. If he made it over and with the speed he showed that day, he could easily have been the Supreme hype horse.

Sharjah has speed for sure. Collateral french flat form is not far at all behind Enable, think he'll be even better on good ground. Hopefully the deloitte is on good ground and he can show his best. If he doesn't win the deloitte then Getabird supreme looks a given
 
I have Getabird backed now for the supreme but nrnb. That whole lot will be loaded back onto him for the ballymore if he heads there, i'd have him favourite over Samcro for sure on what we know so far
 
The only thing I would say.

If someone is looking at this thread who hasn't had a bet yet and fancies sharjah for the supreme. I would advise they take the 2pts shorter for nrnb and put a shade more on to compensate for it.

I would too.
 
Whether he does go there or not and I personally think he won't there's nothing worse than a NR at that sort of price. :)

Fair point. 8s with Paddy Power NRNB is more than fair as well.
Iv 1 PT win at 10s NRNB and 0.25pts on the exchange. My only other bet in the race is Marias Benefit at 16s NRNB so good chance ill be looking for a few outsiders in the next few weeks that will actually show up.

Or take the 8s for If the cap fits, and trade it out on the day if Sharjah shows up.

What do people think?
 
I’ve just heard Sharjah is injured and potentially out for season

Needs clarifying tho before panic sets in
 
Ignore that folks. Mate got it wrong

It’s Sayar who is out for season

Sorry
 
Haha I know you said don't panic but Iv been on the exchange waiting for the price to drift and was ready to start offloading 😄
 
I've read today that Mullins today said Getabird is likely to go down the two mile route with Getabird to avoid the Elliott beast in the Ballymore.

Apparently was a feature on RUK today?!

I can't find it... did anyone see it? Or is this fabricated?
 
Can't imagine Willie openly stating they are running in a race to avoid another horse. Could be wrong.
 
I'm sure i didn't imagine it , did Sharjah run at Dundalk tonight ???
