My mate has told me MR should line up on Saturday as planned. He knows someone in the yard so if he is injured then its being kept very quiet by them. I guess I will start worrying if he gets pulled for that race and something comes out then.

Very reassuring. Thanks for that.

Hoping this is true- Elliot definitely said Down Royal was the initial target so that's confusing! Looby off twitter isn't often wrong, but hoping on this occasion he is! My APs on him had no cashout....foolish!

I'd be very surprised if he's wrong tbf. And he was to turn up at the weekend.

But have to give jon the benefit of doubt until official confirmation. (obviously jons not purposely trying to put anyone away)

Think I'd rather take info from someone from within a stable to be true as opposed to some random Twitter geezer. Elliot is normally pretty quick coming forward with news if injuries so the fact we have heard nothing on that score further dampens the rumours.

It's from within the stable, but do as you please Lobos. It's all part of the forum passing on what you hear, if you want to slate it go ahead.

Andy Dufresne starts off tomorrow over 2m4.

Best of luck.
 
Got everything crossed about Malone Road, but if there is an issue Id like a back up for this race and although I've covered Andy Dufresne, I see him more as a Ballymore type, so going to add Abacadabras. Small bet at 33/1 and a bigger bet at 25/1 with the cash out option.

He was in the process of pushing EA fairly close at Leop and was travelling as well as anything coming off the final bend in the Bumper only to be outstayed. A bot disappointing he couldn't beat Colreevy at Punch but she did get first run that day and it was still a decent enough effort.

He strikes me as a horse who could really keep improving this year.

Elliot knew something was wrong with the horse last season and said nothing for a few days at least. (which is entirely normal until diagnosis confirmed)
Apart from saying Envoi Allen would not be going to cheltenham :devilish:

For what it's worth (and I've never met the guy personally) but for me Michael Looby on twitter is one of only a handful of people with this kind of info/rumour that I have no doubt is true. Good judge and has been spot on in the past. I'd take it that it's a given he has had a setback. The severity is the unknown
 
Sounds good Jono, hopefully all is well and we will see him soon. Thanks for the info

People on twitter seem to go nuts when they hear a horse has had a 'setback' and instantly assume the worst. For all we know he could have a bruised foot from standing on a stone and needed a couple of days off. Stables rarely report these sort of minor things because they are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things

I appreciate any info anyone passes on but personally I'd still go with info from the horses mouth (stable employee) over a tweeted message that could have been passed down the Chinese whisper chain. The betting would also suggest nothing is wrong. MR hasn't moved an inch.

Good point - hasn't even had Pot Noodle Man trying to cause trouble
 
Someone in Twitter claims to have asked Gordon about Malone Road at the weekend and GE said he'll be ready to run in two weeks.

Not a clue who this fella is but at least it's positive.

Nice one F_M. Sure there are plenty of us on here pleased to read that post!
 
It seems we're willing to believe Twitter only when it suits us :highly_amused:
