Triumph Hurdle 2018

I've got her at 6s ante post and in a couple of multis with Samcro too, so I'll let her run and take a swing with the Skybet free bet at Mr Adjudicator
 
Crazy gamble on the favourite. It's almost as if all the others have suddenly become rubbish in the last two days.

If Stormy Ireland goes clear someone is going to have to chase. Is the favourite going to be able to do that? I think Barry will be hoping something else will do it for him. If I was on the opposition I would be saying no thanks you can do it yourself.
 
Layed Apple's shakira for what I'm in profit in this race.
 
I'm worried about Bazza though, I've not been bowled over by his riding this week
 
Like Saldier in this today, not a great deal of rhyme or reason

I was genuinely the one that originally added her to the market Was 33/1 with 365 and hills.

Glad you did :p

I took the punt after reading OJA whenever that came out.

Still got a couple of live multiples with 25/1 too so will let it run its course.

Don't need to lay her as I'm all green anyway. Had to add Sayo last night and I'm on Gumball at a shorter price than he is today but ahead on the rest and been lucky with the ones that missed out.

Just cashed out the lay. I don't think she will win but I'm happy with 18pts profit and there's no point being greedy to try and double it on the off chance all my hard work is undone.
Happy to let saldier and gumball run, the former has some sort of chance.
 
There will be a rather large roar if this goes in. Being backed like its not got a single danger. 6/5 win or lose is a crazy price. And as someone above mentioned there are a ton of unexposed types. I backed Saldier at 33/1 along with Eoline Jolie. Scooby put these up I believe, ad as I'm a massive Noel Fehily fan ill have a dig at Stormy. He's picked up some nice mounts today as Noel . If you're on the Apple at big prices, all the best.
 
Stormy Ireland is sneakily being backed
8/1 into 9/2
 
Surely Ryanair must be good for a free holiday by now ��
 
If only we had some sort of clue that the Irish horses are better than the English ones.
 
Well done who ever had farclas. Stayers to the fore there. I wouldn't have backed him so I'm glad I cashed out the others.
Stormy ireland was far too fresh and keen. Apple's shakira as she showed last time just isn't as good as the hype would believe. Mr adjudicator looked the winner to me from along way out. But farclas did it very well
 
Stayers race.

Stormy Ireland looks speed and could well be better than these on a quick track.

That was probably a personal best from Apple's Shakira. Looks as if she has been overrated.
 
Bit gutted Noel didn't let her just stroll on with it on Stormy Ireland, we know she's keen as, so let her go. She wasted more energy being held together for the first half mile than she would have if she had done her own thing. Little frustrated, think Ruby would have rode her better if I'm honest.

Congratulations to the winners though :)

Still be a fab festival regardless of that but don't like different tactics for horses that have bolted up previously.
 
Jack Kennedy: "It's soft, soft to heavy I'd say."
Richard Johnson: "It felt heavy to me but I was on a good ground horse."
Paul Townend: "Heavy."
Wayne Hutchinson: "Soft/heavy."
David Mullins: "It's proper soft ground."
Noel Fehily: "Soft."
 
I'm pretty sure that given the fact Noel Fehily only got this mount in the last 48 hours, that Ruby, Willie and whoever else must have given him instructions. I cant see them throwing him on a saying do whatever you fancy Noel
