    Danny Kirwan. He's owned by the De La Hey's.

    Chris Giles has pumped some money in recently too with Trevelyn's Corn going for 400k. He's definitely getting more into picking up some Irish P2P graduates where he can.

    He's the first Irish P2P graduate I can think of that the De La Hey's have bought. Their stock has predominantly come from France.

    I see Sam T-D has ridden 6 winners from 35 rides in the last fortnight.

    None has been for Nicholls.

    The closest he got was a good second on a non-favourite.

    Tomorrow's riding arrangements made me go and check their partnership of late. I still wonder if they've agreed to go their separate ways or are just biding their time ahead of a massive assault on the festival.

    You'd also think if there were any substance in my concern their would have been racecourse rumours by now which would have made their way here to this forum.

    Your concerns are similar to the democratic Russian concerns...duh!!!
    PN is not having a good time of it he's had 3 winner in 14 days 1 Sam rode and the other 2 he could not as one was Black Corton and the other a hunter

    He has 50% of all his horses in the the last 14 days and it would have been more had he 4 legs and 2 arses

    This Danny Kirwan runs tomorrow in the bumper at 4:45 Kempton.
    Currently Second fav behind the Henderson horse, Pym.
    Seems to be a bit of money for Danny Kirwan tonight. Still a snaffle of 2/1 left with a couple books.

    Say he is going to be minded with next season in mind

    DK has a huge rep from the point scene. Id say he has plenty left to work with and they'd be delighted with a top 2
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Initial thought is that the time doesn't amount to a great deal. Probably two fast horses beating slow ones in a sprint.

    I'm still very happy with my bet on Rhinestone for Cheltenham.

    PN looks to have something special on his hands Nicky's is very highly regarded and never got near him but agree with DO SO FAR Rhinestone would be my choice for Cheltenham

    Isn't PN recorded as being no fan of the Cheltenham bumper?
