Paddy Power Gold Cup

[terry]

Early doors, I know, but any suggestions as to what will win, before I tell you??? :D

[Ardross]

can tell you it won't be Risk Accessor

[terry]

Or Chicuelo.

[LUKE]

A horse with "Our" in the first part of his name.

[PDJ]

Is it the end of the world for us, Luke?

[LUKE]

That's one possibility.

[Irish Stamp]

Which one? They have about 5 Paddy Power Gold Cup's

[Homer J]

Tel, **** off with this jumping shyte :angry:

[terry]

Cheers Homer. :D

Well Our Vic is definitely a possible, but I heard about a horse the other night, not a Pipe horse. A member of the equine nobility.

[Ardross]

Hen's teeth do tell

Jump off the Therealbandit bandwagon - i didn't get on it.

I thought he meant Our Armagedon :shy:

[BrianH]

And might he be trained by Mr Dartnall?

[terry]

Oh crikey, they're all crawling out the woodwork now!

[terry]

Well Lord Sam would have a chance too but he wasn't the one mentioned.

[BrianH]

Well, it's certainly not another member of the aristocracy whom I know quite well, so you'll have to put us out of our misery...

[terry]

Well there's two months to go I suppose. Seems a shame to throw it away so soon.

That's blasphemous, that is....... :blink: :angy:

[PDJ]

Lord Sam??? Lord Sam?? Start him off in the Charlie Hall, he's better than the Paddy Power.

[Bar the Bull]

Le Duc will win

[Diminuendo]

If he really wants to :lol:

[Homer J]

Just watched the Philip Hobbs open day on ATR where he suggested Monkerhostin as a possible for this, if he can into the handicap (he will have to win a handicap in the early part of the season to have a shout of getting in).

[PDJ]

I hope not, I think it would be an error. I reckon they should leave him over hurdles, he would havea decent shot at the stayers if Baracouda does go chasing.

[Shadow Leader]

Don't reckon he'd stay the trip - 2m6f - 3m seems about his limit.

[Ardross]

agreed 2m 4f best for him - however it takes an exceptional novice to win the Mackeson

[Shadow Leader]

Agreed - by that stage of the season the only novices that do have a few runs over fences under their belts will be in one sided 4 runner affairs at Newton Abbot!!

At the moment I can think of a handful of likely types - Our Armageddon, Hand Inn Hand, Fondmort, Impek......Ireckon Europa could be interesting too if he regains his former enthuisiam at his new yard.

[Ardross]

where's he gone ?

[Arkwright]

Ferdy Murphy got him at Donny Sales about a month back if I recall

[Shadow Leader]

Yup, that's right - he has gone to Ferdy's. I have always been a big fan of Europa and I will watch with interest to see if he can regain the winning thread again.

He could be interesting if entered in the Mackeson as he has a pretty lenient handicap mark & 2m4f - 2m6f would be about his trip too.

[Ardross]

Don't regard that as a forward move

[Shadow Leader]

Ooooohhhhhhh miaow!!!!!!!!! :lol:

The change of scenery may well do him the world of good......and I'd rather Ferdy trained my horse than Tom Tate anyday....

[Ardross]

No doubt you would rather Europa was in Lambourn with a certain Edgy

[PDJ]

Monkerhostin is not a novice over fences.

[Shadow Leader]

Absolutely...Edge can work miracles with most horses........

[Shadow Leader]

Having seen that Knife Edge has moved to Jonjo's, I reckon he could well be a major contender for htis race now he has slipped down the handicap a little. The trip is more likely to suit him too, I reckon he wants 2m4f - 3m even.

[Ardross]

Who's going to the Open Meeting this year ?

[Diminuendo]

I am and I can't wait!

[terry]

Me
Bruv
Keef
Kev
Rich
Murph
Kodak bloke
Delk

[Ardross]

Coming to the Open this year PDJ ?

[Shadow Leader]

I'll be there, with PDJ, & I've got a sneaky feeling Relkeel & Diver may well be there too.

[PDJ]

I guess I am!!

[Ardross]

Party !
