I think Pipe will have left behind his championship chances
with his frenzy at the end of last season. So much fuss was
made about running horses so often during the closing weeks,
but the real damage will be long-term (as always with Pipe)
and I very much doubt you'll see many of those really nice
horses (Joacci, Commercial Flyer, Medison, Comply or Die,
Control Man, etc) performing up to standard. The man, and
his principal owner, is, as ever, a disgrace, and, while
there is an apparently unlimited fund with which to
replenish stocks, I have a feeling that the yard will suffer
this season.
If you're talking about my mention of My Will last year, i
think you'll find i was right, i said he was PN's best
novice. I agree though that he's better over further than 2
miles.
You have to learn not to listen to everything the RP and
connections say. Kauto Star is considered a 2 miler at this
stage by both connections and his trainer - FACT.
HR has run 3 times in Group races.The front 6 in each of
those races,excluding HR, have run 13 times between them
since the first of those races.Only Shamardal and Scorpion
have won.There are several shocking performances included in
those runs.Is this what one might expect the form of a 7/2
favourite for the Arc to amount to? I fully accept the
trainer has a brilliant record in bringing horses on in
order to peak for the first week in October but......For the
record I have backed Shawanda and Shirocco.Is there a reason
why the facts I state concerning that line of form may be
misleading?
the form of hurricane run's last 2 races looks good to me.
Firstly, he only narrowly lost to Sharmadal who went on to
win a group 1 at Royal York and secondly he beat Scorpion in
the group 1 Irish Derby, and if Scorpion franked the form in
decisive fashion in Paris group 1. Looking at other horses
down to 6th place is irrelevant.
I initially layed Hurrricane at 20s on Betfair, before these
2 races, when all he had going for him was his trainers
comments and a group 2 win.
I am disappointed by the way things have worked out, as I
see him now as the most likely winner.
At the moment I have him as a small winner in my book, and I
wont lay him at bigger than 4.9 until I see how he runs on
sunday.
You'll have to give the number on the website a ring I'm
afraid Teto. Would like to be able to give you more info,
especially after you gave me the low down on Whitby a month
or so back that convinced me to go, but I think it would all
depend on what size of room, i.e single/twin/triple etc. It
really is very early days. I do know it will be good value
alongside the other hotels in town.
Been stopping there for years until it changed to a
backpackers hostel whilst being renovated. You can't really
ask for a better location. Mountains and Badbrokes just
round the corner. Racecourse literally straight up the road.
Next door one side there's a pub, the other a curry house.
Chip shop on the end of the road and a pizza shop opposite.
All the things that basically matter to a man on a racing
trip!
