Thursday Card

I'm guessing Thursdays entries will be out this Friday, Saturday at the latest.
 
Four Grade 1s then the Foxhunters ...:)
 
I always go to the Thursday and the first 4 races are brilliant. I'm not so keen on the card ending with a mares bumper though.
 
Hope to make Fri/Sat but not sure yet. Trains :grumpy:

Thursday the most underrated days racing in the calendar.
 
These spam things are really annoying.

Hope Kalashnikov loses in a way, as being proved right that he wants further won't help me Cheltenham 2019 ante post :p
 
....Kemboy could be heading to the Betway Bowl.

....the Bowl shaping up to be very decent.

It always is Eggs.

To my eye, Kemboy would be a huge player in this. The course is going to be perfect for him

...i’m a big Kemboy fan, KM, and I get the impression Mullins really rates it. I think it was 8-1 at the off on Gold Cup day, which says lots. I’ve been going to Aintree on Thursday for probably the last 20 years, I have it in my mind that older horses hold sway in the Bowl but I agree that a flat track could see Kemboy run them ragged.

I'm doing my 15th consecutive Thursday this year mate. Hope the weather is kind.

Clan Des Obeaux ran a really nice race in this last season so I'd assume he'd go off favourite. The one I'd certainly be against would be Native River - I just can't see how he'd win this.

....I imagine the entries will be out soon and early markets formed. Looking forward to the discussions on here.

Price would be so important... if they disrespect CDO's two runs prior to Gold Cup he's a huge player...

Similar for Kemboy.

I can't imagine CDO gets 'forgotten' wheras Kemboy was a little lower profile going in.

Big fan on Kemboy for this race (sorry archie :p)
 
Kalashnikov, Glen Forsa and DDS all mentioned as likely runners in the Manifesto Chase on the Thursday
