BEST of the BETS

I felt listening to Willie Mullins in the last few days that he was looking for to Chacun Pour Soi and am surprised he did not win.

One thing I will take from this race is how unlucky Sceau Royal was in being hampered at a crucial stage. Not sure he would of won but not sure he would not have either. Certainly one for looking closely at next time.

Unlucky Mugz.

Good luck Mugz. :up:

Won well I think and the second and 3rd might be useful also.

I be interested to see the second run again and then this will give us so kind of gage on the form of this race.

Totally in agreement with you guys.

Nowadays so frustrating with players rolling around like they have be shot.

Would not have survived in the old days.

Players are to quick to dive now and spoils the game for us old fogeys. :rofl:

JT

Good luck with this Mugz. :up:

JT

Yes, :up:

JT

On a positive note in profit but something that would need to be looked at over a period.

The old adage, every dog has it's day.

Thanks for posting up.

JT :up:

Thank you. :up:

JT

Thank you Mr Force. :up:

Yeah, could not say either way peregrine.

You know yourself these run away leaders come back to the field more often than not however some hold it out by getting the field off the steel and dragging them out.

I will log it and look for the next run and might have a low each way on it if the odds are decent.:up:

Did not notice any headgear peregrine and to be honest I felt the horse would fade away (they used do) but was going well when he ran out.

Might be worth keeping an eye out for when it next runs. I do not buy the jockeys account about the saddle slipping and so did the stewards by the looks of it, his body language did not indicate this and rather than anything dishonest, I just feel he might have said this to avoid admitting his mistake in taking the wrong course and facing a 14 day ban.

If I am right, he would have gone close and maybe have won it.

JT

Well done peregrine.

Bit of a bizarre one with the horse that was leading in this race, that took the "wrong course" and ran out.

Was well clear and seemed to be going well and you could see the panic of the rest of the pack when they were not sure if he had slipped the field.

However the stewards did hold an enquiry and it looked on the whole that it was done to "jockey" error.

In the Racing Post it reported the following

"Amateur rider Aaron Fahey was suspended for 14 days by the Leopardstown stewards after his mount Lake Winnipesaukee took the wrong course off the final bend in the concluding bumper while in a clear lead and with the race possibly at his mercy.

The newcomer pulled his way to the front after about two furlongs and soon opened up a clear advantage. With half a mile to go, before they turned out of the back straight, the Arcadio gelding was still around 13 lengths clear and as they approached the home straight, the chasing group seemed to be making little impression on him. However, events took a turn at that point as Fahey seemed to steer his mount off the track and he ended up on the chase course.

In the inquiry which followed, Fahey stated to the stewards that his saddle had slipped forward, that his mount had been too strong to ride and through a lack of energy he was unable to steer his mount around the final bend onto the correct course.

However, the stewards found that Fahey had been negligent by misjudging the correct course and therefore had failed to attain his best possible placing and was banned for 14 days under rule 212.

The horse is trained by the rider's father Paul, who said: "He is a difficult horse and we haven't been able to run him in a schooling race, and this is the first day he was among horses on an open track. He did get very wound up and I don't really know what happened turning in. It's just one of those things and hopefully everyone will learn.".

Great ride there by AP.

I always felt that having AP on your horse gave you what felt like a 5 lb pull against any other rider.

Warrior in a finish.
