0:24
It is Day three of the Cheltenham
0:26
Festival. Plenty. To chat. About twenty
0:28
to get into today, but we might start with
0:30
yesterday's action because it was a historic day on
0:32
the course for the Irish for What A Marlins
0:34
for Rachel back More delighted to say that this
0:36
morning you've got John dog and life and to
0:39
course and Tom alone a beaming and to us
0:41
as well this morning Tom good to see how
0:43
are you keeping. A how you
0:45
do it only? Well yeah, more able to album so
0:47
far. Enjoying. A very much so what
0:49
were your thoughts on on? yes, they are you allowing
0:51
yourself to get carried away on this wave of the
0:53
motion for the Irish? Because I will say it, Johnny
0:55
Ward and your Window there yesterday and he was very
0:58
down on the predictability of this whole thing. Yeah.
1:01
The predictability is not great but I
1:03
mean it as as William on Azores that
1:05
Israel is said and I T v
1:07
you know you gotta run your horses.
1:09
He got a by take over and those
1:11
those that are ruining their putting a
1:13
good performances Yeah there's an issue with
1:15
that with the competitiveness sometimes but you know.
1:18
If. They don't run the a real world the
1:20
new how we don't We saw that we
1:22
Captain Guinness yesterday. You know this horse should
1:24
not be L Fabio and you know a
1:26
lot of traders would have taken the view
1:28
day can't be L fab the out of
1:30
course L Fabiano hit the deck and look
1:32
Count Guinness picked up the pieces when eggers
1:34
don't hit the deck as well so you
1:36
know it's about running and jumping and you
1:38
job and then to see what happens and
1:40
of Captain Guinness is a brilliant moment. Jasmine
1:42
Devoe of as a brilliant as well. I
1:44
mean it's funny that because our Bobby own
1:46
laws that set it up for. Patrick Mullins.
1:49
To. Go and write the hundreds winner for for
1:52
William Orleans which is and know there are
1:54
no Veo Cajun and you know from tourist
1:56
attraction all the way to Jasmine Devoe over
1:58
the course of one. Twenty
2:00
nine years or so. Phenomenal for my New Orleans.
2:02
I don't think anybody who had else I'll be
2:04
on a back to will be contained too. Much
2:06
better predictability of the Twenty Twenty Four Festival: some
2:08
house at John Dog and that a very good
2:10
morning You out? what are things that seem like
2:12
and course at the mommy's. It's
2:15
good morning I went on Tom and go
2:17
to speak you boasts added is dry will
2:19
which is a released because they were so
2:21
less on Sunday Tuesday with all those innovators
2:23
of rain or the going a softer the
2:25
moments there is Ryan expected showers. This.
2:28
Afternoon, but Southern does have it's own microclimate.
2:30
There weren't expecting the sense of rain their
2:32
hands on Tuesday, so hopefully the right must
2:34
stay right there on a new courses either
2:37
on the inside courses or for the next
2:39
two days of fresh ground Softbrands arms and
2:41
looking forward to us as a couple of
2:43
pieces of news today. Sigh. Sars enough Fargo,
2:46
Brian's marriage is out of the merest novice
2:48
at pretty much set up as he a
2:50
match between broader days ahead at J Degrees.
2:52
Be very surprised if one of those horses

2:57
the prime. Fertile tomorrow this is Nicky Henderson
2:59
last week hope so Geno that he kept in
3:01
the race was with all of the at
3:03
a hospital that this week John Bon Siskin says
3:06
he knows the latest one unhappy the disastrous week
3:08
for the yeah honestly I feel sorry for to
3:10
set one fun of our to you John on
3:12
yes then I guess about a whole so
3:14
far as a number of forty six thousand seven
3:17
hundred and seventy one was jotted down as yesterday's
3:19
attendance at A are You Feeling as compared to
3:21
other years with regards to the side of
3:23
her house in A for the path of of
3:25
that I'm not I'm not fit in a dip.
3:28
In terms of excitement for you to steam
3:30
if he did a bit different terms of
3:32
it's and I think I almost feel about
3:34
this year I'll with his gold cups I
3:36
will be big goal cook day tomorrow people
3:38
come in and from London your property I'm
3:41
a full house. all the tickets been sold

sixteen have thousands side of the going into
3:45
the Be dancer especially fires people with said
3:47
conference began to swell on Monday in the
3:49
rugby and everything so thing tomorrow will be
3:51
fine smile be busy tomorrow be hectic I
3:53
would just the first three days have been
3:56
to as expected that there were forty. Percent
3:58
down last year on the year before. I
4:00
think they could be further down the seer and. Said.
4:03
It is wake up call for various reasons
4:05
for the facility in for ticket prices for
4:07
on affordability around the force in terms of
4:09
the funding and it's been seven pounds fifty
4:11
so maybe it's me to marry. think about
4:13
the body for money of these fossils. Your
4:16
topic on the five days or into five days.
4:18
I think that the at the legacy of this
4:20
year's than the five Dating contacted. My
4:23
Billie Jean Marie Norm. Yeah.
4:26
Quiet onto the five day where it's not gonna go
4:29
back to treat as because it's just too much of
4:31
a cast. Haven't adjusted have. Some
4:33
has more hundred million to detect. Couldn't
4:35
agree more John Not be no distractible.
4:38
I know, I speak of the excitement
4:40
both it's it's killed all that talk.
4:42
a fine day and rightly so I'm
4:44
in my beanies probably truman other for
4:46
race as often as well. Keep competitive
4:48
and access Go. It's four or four
4:50
days, six days in each on a
4:52
six races each day and go from
4:55
there and any mice and. About
4:57
you know a workable solution because
4:59
closing the program with that. Has
5:02
clearly not work. There's very little competitions
5:04
on just like a sample. we'll never
5:06
hung for the British winners. it's you
5:08
know I'm on tomorrow And the under
5:10
cries I'm in. Tell them probably. Are
5:12
going to prevent as what marketing they don't
5:15
because it really have focused on London. As
5:17
I mentioned, that's where they're going to scatter
5:19
crowd tomorrow. You know they have lots of
5:21
celebs their them to a massive advertising on
5:23
around the London underground. Is he a big
5:25
eyes in Piccadilly Square? A to black wanted
5:27
a publicity shotguns on bombs treated in those
5:30
you know So they've gone heavy on London
5:32
and maybe in doing that they've taken the
5:34
royal of of marketing elsewhere. Came very interesting.
5:36
South tomorrow Big David rest of essence and
5:38
she needs s and and a bit of
5:40
a look asked at half past. One of
5:43
the first race as ever today was. Not.
5:45
getting as they obviously but the turner's novices
5:47
tastes ads on what are you looking for
5:49
this race i santi one of this let's
5:51
be clear about us his name is a
5:53
horse and as we care about my past
5:55
so the horse i was a fascination runner
5:57
for me is that he was trying to
5:59
get along the Robert Bartlett has raced over
6:01
three miles last year over hurdles and
6:03
faded to fourth. This race is over
6:05
half a mile shorter. He
6:08
was the favorite for the Dredmore and Abba's chase
6:10
earlier this season. He didn't win it. He was
6:12
behind IMAXimus but found a 50 and him were
6:14
closely matched and found a 50 around very well
6:16
here the other day. I
6:18
think the ground will suit him. I think this is his trip.
6:21
I think he's disappointing his connections to a
6:23
degree earlier this season. He
6:26
was 30 to 1 this morning. He's
6:28
now into 16 to 1 in places. He's
6:30
one of my charity bet, E2A bets. I
6:32
think Avon Cromwell had passed through run well
6:34
yesterday. He's done very well in the UK
6:36
this season. I think on the greatest form
6:38
of the hurdles and I think on the
6:41
form that he showed in chases earlier this
6:43
season, I think he's overpriced. Look,
6:45
it's all about Fassil Vega. Will Fassil Vega improve
6:47
her step up and trip? To
6:49
me he's disappointing me since his bumper days. Ray
6:52
Dawning and Ginny's Destiny are closely matched from the
6:54
last time. Irako is on your road in one
6:56
server fences. There's a lot of money for Zana
6:58
here from her smart hurdler. I'll be back this
7:01
morning. I think at a price to get
7:03
into the first three and maybe even better, let's be clear about
7:05
it as my ticket. Very good. Tom Malone,
7:07
what are you thinking? Yeah, I
7:09
can see exactly where John's coming from there. Let's
7:11
be clear about it. I went off I think
7:13
five to four in that train more chase and
7:15
I know he disappointed that day as well. Good
7:17
to see Gavin Sors come back a little bit
7:19
yesterday as well and just have a pass to
7:21
Riv. Gavin had come here
7:23
with quite a strong handle, a single price.
7:27
Not favorites, but horses with chances and a
7:29
few of them didn't do so well. So
7:31
there was good vibes there with Pat through
7:33
yesterday showing a little bit of class. I
7:37
don't really know what to make of this
7:39
race because everywhere you look, you can find
7:41
reasons not to back horses. Fassil Vega, dude,
7:45
he seems to have fallen between two stools
7:47
a little bit because they've had Gellick Warrior
7:49
absolutely soothed up in an article and then
7:51
Factor Filers won the RSA. The
7:53
two British horses, Ginny Zesty and Greg Donning, there's
7:56
a big gap in the prices, but there's not
7:58
a huge gap, not a huge difference. in
8:00
the form between them. You know, Colonel
8:02
Harry's 50 to 1 can't have him.
8:04
Zanna here in Sharjah, they're kind of
8:06
OAPs. And
8:08
I just, by process of elimination,
8:10
and I don't disagree with John on unless
8:12
be clear, but I thought maybe Iroko could
8:14
be one. He's trained by Oliver Greenaw who
8:16
a lot of people wouldn't be familiar with.
8:18
But he's a fellow
8:21
I always liked because back when he was a
8:23
shocky thing, his amateur jockies in particular were absolutely
8:25
terrible. He was a good fella
8:27
to back in an amateur race in England
8:29
back in the day. He's a small enough
8:31
string. He has the patience of
8:33
Jake McManus, which kind of tells you that he's
8:35
a shoot-enough operator. This horse won at the festival
8:38
last year as well. Yes, he's only had one
8:40
run over offensive, but that was at Warwick where
8:42
I can get, and Warwick I think is right
8:44
by a river and it's
8:46
thrown to waterlogging. So when they say
8:48
it's soft, Warwick, it's bring
8:50
your armbands to. I
8:53
just don't, I think Oroko here, and quietly
8:55
campaigned. A slight negative for me would be
8:57
that he has drifted slightly in price, but
9:00
in a race where I can find lots
9:02
of excuses not to back horses, I like
9:04
the chances of Oroko in this. Okay, very
9:06
good. John Duggan, bring us on to the second race.
9:09
So this is the pretend handicap hurdle at 10 past
9:12
two over three miles, 22 runners. You
9:15
have to have good jocky shift, if
9:17
that's even a word, to be
9:19
able to clock your way around here. There's
9:22
a few interesting runners here. Cleetus Poula is
9:25
only six years of age. He's
9:27
a similar pro at Delta Work
9:29
in the Michael O'Leary colors for
9:31
Trenton Gordon-Elias. Won the race for
9:33
the stable before Delta Work did,
9:35
and Cleetus Poula now is
9:38
coming here with a chance. He was second to
9:40
the qualifier at night. He could now improve over
9:42
three miles. He was a point-and-pointer. The other one
9:44
that would be worth looking at is Wei
9:47
Kweil for Ted Walsh has
9:49
been consistent. Shane O'Callaghan writes him,
9:51
he's only got 10 stone five. He's got E-Trey
9:53
claims on his win at Laverstone over Christmas. Cuthbert
9:56
Dibble and Lemiele are taking the
9:59
market, attracting. this morning. Lemieux lost
10:01
his train by Dan Skelton, who had two winners of
10:03
the course yesterday. Ecar Allen as well,
10:05
Mark Walsh on him, and he's attracting to 4-2,
10:07
was placing a triumph hurdle here
10:09
a few years ago. I think this has been the plan
10:11
for William Mullins. But the one I'm going to go for
10:13
at a price of 17-2 is Gabby's cross. He's
10:17
carrying 10-stone seven, trained by Henry DeBrommhead, who's
10:19
had two winners this week. He is still
10:21
rated lower over hurdles than he was over
10:23
fences. He won a big handicap chase at
10:25
Galway a couple of years ago
10:27
over two miles and six. He's been freshened up
10:29
since finishing second at Punters Town in November over
10:31
three miles in the qualifying race for this. I
10:34
think he's got a neat right chance with Darrow
10:36
Keith on the soft ground. I think he needs
10:38
lower weights in
10:40
this race anyway. I think Gabby's cross might be able
10:42
to fill the first six places and maybe better at
10:45
17-2, 8.5-1. Very
10:48
good. So, Gabby's cross from John. Tom and Owen, what are you
10:50
thinking? I like the chance
10:52
of Peter Poulot, actually. He obviously has a second
10:54
behind Ballyburn, which reads very well. The Pertems is
10:57
such a weird race because it's
10:59
got a series of qualifiers where you
11:01
have to finish in the first six
11:03
to qualify for the race. So, when
11:06
you're looking at these qualifiers, you're kind of keeping
11:08
in mind that horses who don't want to be
11:10
too far back, but at the same time don't
11:12
want to be too far forward so they don't
11:14
get too high a weight. But, look, Peter Poulot
11:16
actually just finished second in a handicap
11:18
there at Naist and I think he's the right chance. One
11:20
of the huge prizes to do like though is Emmett Tom.
11:22
He's a horse that used to be pretty decent. He's now
11:24
an Alan King who's Edward
11:26
Stone. I know he fell yesterday. He ran
11:28
well. So, that's a positive for me. Emmett
11:30
Tom, slight negative his age, but he's like
11:32
Goldwell. He was once rated in the 150s.
11:34
He's now 137. He's about 25, 33-1. He's
11:37
the kind of horse who just looks like a big old
11:43
gentleman who keeps cladding away there in the
11:45
soft going. Maybe he won't win because
11:49
Again, these horses, any of them could have £10
11:51
up their sleeve. But Just at the prices, maybe
11:53
Emmett Tom could be willing to play each way
11:55
there with the extra places. But If there is
11:57
a kind of a hidden class act, it wouldn't
11:59
be surprising. I did it. ceases to
12:01
love. Okay, very good. The next one
12:03
is Ryanair Chase at Tend To Treat
12:05
last year's winner and Violin is there
12:07
again. John. Yes
12:09
and I bought an has been kept fresh
12:11
for the since November The artisan form writer
12:13
Blackmore hundred a bribe had as a big
12:15
winner yesterday and will out and is now.
12:18
Get. In into the Double Figures in terms of
12:20
a mother, the only negative for his chance Complacent
12:22
has got a sweet gonna skulk absurd last year.
12:25
Is he jumps better? cabbage audible like the
12:27
grounds. One of the for or earlier this
12:29
year over a further distance abu the Grand
12:31
might bring his stamina to play the inform
12:33
scouts unstable has got protect your as a
12:35
horse have never really liked what might this
12:37
might be his gulp of day with no
12:39
salt. The gulf up for waiting to see
12:41
Banbridge I will run at the moment he
12:44
sees running on a second favors if it
12:46
was good. Round here out and saw this
12:48
be my pick Banbridge all day as a
12:50
course in distance winner who really want to
12:52
run really well. As handsome as time and
12:54
one just for Brian. I'm just worried
12:56
about the grand for head out. If he
12:58
does where they will tell you that the
13:00
gravest better than that has been advertised here
13:02
as so. therefore it will say star are
13:04
one of the festival last years ago. Jumpers
13:06
good front runner when a handicap here earlier
13:08
this season. But. To be honest it
13:11
it's it's too tricky for me it's too messy
13:13
is to frothy so in the in these situations
13:15
the best thing to do is advised my do
13:17
know selection know selection mean reiner thanks Sound fair
13:19
enough to keep an eye on bridge cause when
13:21
of might inform map as throughout the day common
13:23
on what are you thinking. Yeah.
13:26
Lot of and John's can police Satoshi the
13:28
famous for bought him surfing I suppose back
13:30
on the Dame that's. right?
13:33
The kind of on a Saturday. Get to the
13:35
bottom of the page and then say no Selection
13:37
Success stories that. Are like
13:39
that on. I like to apologise. You're
13:41
you're trying to write young because you
13:43
know at speeds Rhino Chase. He
13:46
is so few of them alleged your
13:48
seats it's of them because the Rona
13:50
how fast is only dogs and it's
13:52
you know if you're. Gonna
13:54
do like wounded he isn't ideal like I
13:57
do like and vine and am I mean
13:59
disorder Sources: It is. Well you know he
14:01
was. He was a big with a pharmacy
14:03
cord ninety years ago his the big change
14:05
over to hang around and then he just
14:07
didn't settle into brom as any spell years
14:09

14:12
on his career mode. Eleven straight for Gordon

14:16
thing is a lovely gonna redemption story. it's
14:18
that's great to see Sources: everyone a champion
14:20
Bumpers the we won't have the body more
14:22
whatever it was there your own his career
14:24
as well as I wouldn't find them Bolland.
14:27
Does. It again is ages. The negatives of
14:29
the last ten year olds win this race
14:31
was just like I'm bored and was Albert
14:33
has ruined who was ten years of age
14:35
when that as well as I don't think
14:37
it the john says is either they deserve
14:39
to be Get Nazis.into his Android tablets I
14:41
love to see and ball and rate when
14:44
I think there are more reasons to be
14:46
with them because like I said that the
14:48
deal that is so money the owners of
14:50
negatives immediate danger them are always in your
14:52
early mean it's already gone cold for fun
14:54
bridge and the grounds against him conflate is
14:56
he's got so. Many letters is named estates
14:58
the down he does never knows gonna turn
15:00
offs and sometimes you looked and through the
15:02
whole race and that's the way it is
15:04
the only other once you know what to
15:06
say maybe say saw but the way run
15:08
and his previous road is in massive negative
15:11
or the by fame and glory they tend
15:13
to prefer a better going split or am
15:15
I recounted by father this was the chances
15:17
before and was gonna say to the ground
15:19
is slightly dance himself again one of the
15:21
things we just keep draw a line sea
15:23
horses and and is essential classes and more
15:25
than and k so as if your stamina.
15:27
Few and up on to avoid and violent her when
15:29
from Tom and on their. Ass.
15:31
Three, theres hurdle. John. Doesn't
15:33
I mean for people who like so important it is alleged
15:36
to marry race as I'm forty gone again and if
15:38
I presume he's at, he's not in your tips or is
15:40
it. Has all
15:42
the data house costs by the way because
15:44

17:45
as it's such a big price as your own
17:48
in the weeds and the price is really hard
17:50
mean the ordinary has not. have a winner defeats
17:52
i wouldn't read too much into that is also
17:54
been running miles by just been grown and incest
17:56
really good horses you know irish points i was
17:59
sat and in champion hurdle. He did two,
18:01
three in the champion bumper. He's had loads of
18:03
seconds and turns. So it's not like Nicki Henderson
18:05
where they're pulling up and falling out the back
18:07
of the tally. It's not like that at all.
18:09
Just Gordon, it's just had a little bit of
18:11
bad luck and run into some really good horses.
18:13
And I say himself, he probably
18:15
thought that his better chances were later
18:17
in the week, particularly today with,
18:20
and one of them is Tia Hoopo here.
18:22
I think Tia was absolutely rock solid. But
18:24
John's right as well. If you're on an
18:26
each way back to nothing, Noble Yates is
18:29
your man. Emmet Mullins, he's a brilliant, brilliant
18:31
trainer. He's already had a winner this week as
18:33
well. Noble Yates fourth in the gold cup last
18:35
year. You know, he stays, he's won a grand national.
18:38
And you know, his ultimate,
18:40
his ultimate goal is to go back and
18:42
win at entry in a couple of weeks
18:44
time. And you'll think skipping around in a
18:46
stairs hurdle, that's an ideal prep for him.
18:48
And I can definitely see Noble Yates on
18:50
the, being on the
18:52
premises already, Tia Hoopo, seven years of age,
18:55
been fresh and dark since winning at Fairy
18:57
House. He should win. Okay, very good. Ten
18:59
pass for then, John. Looks like it's hard
19:01
to pick a winner here. Yeah,
19:06
this is a, this can be a graveyard. If you
19:08
have a 66 to one winners before the plate handicap
19:10
chase two and a half miles. Peter
19:12
Mann as well, waited on a run behind
19:14
Gini's destiny this season. Treboli is also progressive,
19:16
but he can make a mistake. Arctic Brazil
19:19
for Aitra Blackmore likely erased the stables and
19:21
form. Can Felicien was pulled up at the
19:23
festival two years ago. Iliq Selsas Deo was
19:26
Barry Garrissey's tip on the William
19:28
Hill Chapman preview last weekend. He's
19:30
now going up and trip for Harry Fry
19:32
in the colors of JB McManus. And there's
19:34
money for Harry Redknapp's horse, Shake'em Up Harry.
19:36
So for anybody who likes their football, you
19:39
might want to have a look at him. And
19:42
I'm going to go for James De Burle. He's
19:44
now 18 to one, the fairy tale of New
19:46
York price. He's a graded horse
19:48
and a handicap. He jumps well. He's off 12 stone.
19:50
He can't front run. He could have won the chase
19:52
that meeting at the water. He's won an upper standard
19:55
Christmas, but he just didn't stay. I think back in
19:57
trip, he's a good way to chance this at a
19:59
big price. to Burleigh, sometimes Woody Mullins can
20:01
throw these graded horses in the handicaps and win
20:03
them. Remember Wicklow Brave winning a chat in them,
20:06
head and chest a couple of years ago. We've
20:09
had horses though out of Punch a Town that
20:11
Woody can put in and sometimes on top weight
20:13
and they just have a better class than others.
20:15
So James to Burleigh, I think at a big
20:17
price each way to finish in the first five
20:19
might give you a run for your money. Otherwise
20:21
you're trying to look maybe Tom might give you
20:23
a direction in terms of horses with lower weights
20:25
that might be ahead of the handicapper. Go for
20:27
Tom. Yeah, I actually
20:29
two horses, the two horses I like in
20:31
this, John mentioned both in San Felician for
20:33
Cordinelli. Actually Cordinelli is going to have a
20:36
bar and someone finished it a day today,
20:38
but yeah, San Felician, like he was punted
20:40
off the boards last year in the Carl
20:42
Cup and then he kind of ran the
20:44
race and was pulled up. He's had a
20:47
couple of quiet enough spins over fences this
20:49
year and then a nicer win last time
20:51
out, beating them Spanish Ireland there and Amy
20:53
Deji. He's gotten a mark of 1.46. He
20:55
won those horses where you wouldn't know where
20:58
his mark is. So he's certainly one that
21:00
looks like he could be really, really progressive. I
21:02
know he's been difficult to train and now he's
21:04
not been straightforward. You
21:07
have got, but you get that factored into
21:09
the price today to one San Felician. And
21:11
as John mentioned as well, shake off Harry
21:13
strictly on form and on numbers.
21:15
He's only been up four pounds for a
21:17
win here at Cheltenham last time out. And
21:19
another positive as well is the form of
21:21
Ben Pauling. Again, I don't think he'd be
21:24
the biggest known British trainer, but his horses
21:26
have been turning up and he had a
21:28
place to effort earlier on in the week.
21:30
He wouldn't have the biggest amount of runners,
21:32
but yeah, shake them up Harry. Good to
21:34
see how you're right now continuing to support
21:36
horse racing. And yeah, I'm sure himself
21:38
and Sanjo will be cheering
21:41
this one home all the way from those ads
21:44
from a couple of years ago. Is
21:46
it weird to name your horse after yourself? Yeah,
21:50
it is a bit isn't it? The Kerry Grace
21:52
for you owners. Oh
21:55
yeah. Even the way he took out the H as
21:57
well. Make
22:00
it properly fanatic. Think. I
22:02
was call that Wheeler Dealer in Disable and how
22:04
your and I was I going to change the
22:06
name of that one. That's our decision yet as
22:08
center Five is a great Iran Air Mares, novices,
22:10
hurdles I'd have met anyone here Jump. For
22:14
this is the master Trained broader days a hatch
22:16
who's now odds on and gate bridge eve is
22:18
just under two to one because I started off
22:20
as being taken out of the race bird your
22:22
boss is the third favorite right? So blackmore the
22:24
danger this guy races you think all by today's
22:27
the hats and they're really speak highly of him
22:29
is as. The. Cantonese able to go
22:31
daddy. As a Jack Kennedy and born at a
22:33
speed about source and glowing terms, she's been five

22:37
unbeaten in the what he wanted yards to good
22:39

22:41
real a view on one of these on that the
22:43
other one wince. On. Of other when so
22:45
I think it's a dangerous rights to get involved and. Out
22:48
I'm I'm having no selection. This for hims
22:50
fascinating to see how. About as
22:52
I had those run but has there
22:54
been softened and very very positive terms
22:56
for the horses. The because the teacher.
22:59
Are. You brave enough to an innocent? I'm. Yeah
23:02
I'm he brought bright bright today the has amazon
23:04
when asked the festival to be perfectly honest so
23:06
yeah I'm very somber it as as just the
23:08
way things have gone this week though you can
23:11
sort of five to six they seem to a
23:13
sort of to say about Zone in almost two
23:15
two hundred eighty degrees it's I mean on the
23:17
price is he be very tempted to to have
23:19
a back injury degrees you both like? I'm kind
23:22
of. For. My to stand
23:24
with with broader day the has a
23:26
fairway at this stage so I'm I'm
23:28
fine if I feel honor binds to
23:30
to stick with brighter day the had
23:32
badass looked detainees one of the parties
23:34
as in the most fantastic pedigrees time
23:36
see them. Related to Caldwell Potter
23:38
and The Mighty Potter its course all
23:40
those horses he rams who are involved
23:42
in according any dispersal same as your
23:45
own in the year span see that
23:47
of America Old Matney His. Friends.
23:49
dynamite as well allen's honey she's five pounds
23:51
and all five of them how to have
23:53
black type which i see me the performed
23:56
and pattern company which is just absolutely on
23:58
heard of sorts am i think can
24:01
keep family tradition going. And yeah, J
24:03
DeGroote did the obvious danger. Look, I
24:06
think these two are a million miles
24:08
clear of the rest anyway. So just
24:10
do something like play a forecast, but
24:13
I'd be fairly surprised if
24:15
anything's better than these two because the
24:19
vibes coming out of Gordon Elliott's yard about
24:22
brighter days ahead, they just think the world
24:24
and the rest of this mayor and hopefully
24:26
he does the business here. The
24:29
last race of the day is, I presume,
24:31
the longest name of a race in this
24:33
year's festival, the full Gwallow and Kim Yoor
24:35
Challenge Cup amateur jockey's handicap chase, John Duggan.
24:38
What's taking your fancy here? This
24:40
is three miles, two prolongs for amateur riders, 24
24:43
runners. So once again, you need a jockey who
24:45
knows what they're doing here. And some of them
24:47
are better than others and the amateur level. Derek
24:50
O'Connor is one of the best of them. He rides
24:52
the favorites. I know the way you're thinking. Who Gavin
24:54
Cromwell mentioned at our live match, our William Hill live
24:56
match a while back in
24:59
Dublin. And he if he gets the
25:01
trip, he's got a big chance. He's
25:03
got a lot of graded form. And
25:05
yeah, I know the way you're thinking is definitely one
25:07
that's a contender, but he's quite chorking the bat in
25:10
about three to one. We have
25:12
Angel's Dawn who won the race last year.
25:14
Wacker Clan won here back in October. John
25:16
Gleason writes him there's money for Paul Nolan's
25:19
daily presents. That's coming into
25:21
less than 10 to one. Now, my
25:23
riders are Henry DeBram, head trained horses, money
25:25
for at the bottom of the field for
25:27
Stepan, Vanessa Williams, Facker Delane. I like that
25:29
horse by just to give you his better
25:32
ground. He's been placed before. Harry
25:34
Swan, we'd love to see him, Charlie Sun,
25:36
ride a winner at Chatham. Cool Survivor is
25:38
his man, but he's drifting into betting. What
25:40
I like, guys, is where it all began.
25:42
I got his act together when winning
25:44
a punch in town very impressively in February. He really
25:46
stayed on strongly over three miles three. So he knows
25:48
he gets the trip here. If he can get into
25:50
a rhythm on direct for amateur, Barry O'Neill could be
25:53
there about. Barry O'Neill has been so unlucky at the
25:55
festival. He's been chinned a couple of times in some
25:57
town and the ringleader in
25:59
the last two years. already, and also
26:02
the Paul Nolan horse, I can't remember that just go
26:04
around us. So I'd like to see him when
26:06
a race in China, I'm here and hopefully
26:08
where it all began will begin is a challenge Odyssey
26:10
for him. Okay, Tom, and on. Yeah,
26:13
I agree with plenty of Johnson there actually, in
26:15
this race last year, I think Ireland had the
26:17
first step in the home in this
26:20
race last year. So some of those ones
26:22
really think, Oh, you know, the came here,
26:24
the industry and horses do well here and
26:26
then they just end up not. And as
26:29
an aside, one horse who did run well
26:31
last year was one for Paul Nolan. So
26:33
I'd say he plotted daily present at this
26:35
on the back of his horse ran last
26:37
year ran in some man, hot
26:39
enough kind of beginners chases the underlights to
26:42
claim Grainslayer West and Gaelic warrior and got
26:44
his handicap mark, and then won
26:46
it down Royal last time at that gets him
26:48
in snuck him in here off a marker 129,
26:51
thanks, five pounds off his back as well. So
26:53
as I mentioned earlier on the show, a lightweight
26:55
is a good thing around shelter on a day
26:57
like today, particularly over three miles and two in
27:01
going especially at the end of the day
27:03
as well when they'll be, you know, they'll
27:05
be plowing through ground that's already been galloped
27:07
through. So not surprised to see good chunk
27:09
of support for daily present, maybe the price is gone,
27:11
but I'd be happy to stick with them each way.
27:13
You get your charity betting just a minute, John, but
27:15
Tom, generally speaking, then is there an app of the
27:17
day? Is there a certain race that you are targeting
27:19
just to sum up then? Yeah,
27:22
I mean, I think, I think
27:25
to you, who posts, I'll be I think to
27:27
you, who, who, on brighter day, the head or
27:29
two of my best bats of the day, I
27:31
can see obviously, look, they there's a lot of
27:33
respect for for Willie Mullins, Jay DeGruigy, Filly against
27:36
brighter day, the head again, if you have an
27:38
insurance against that, maybe just stick them in a
27:40
forecast or something like that. But I think to
27:42
you, who, who, on brighter day, the head, I
27:45
mean, she's well named because it's going to give
27:47
just going to Brighton Gordon Elliott's week after what's
27:49
been a very frustrating couple of days for him.
27:51
Like I said, horses running well and finished second.
27:53
It's nearly I don't know if it's better or
27:55
worse than being in a Nicki Anderson situation where at least
27:57
you know they're bad and getting beaten. are
28:00
all well and just getting
28:02
changed by better versus. John
28:04
Duggan, what are your charity bets for today? I
28:07
was told by a boss years ago when
28:09
I was tipping on the intimacy show,
28:11
pick some favorites. Well, yeah, pick some favorites.
28:14
And Tom has kind of like, they've given
28:16
me pretty clear indication of maybe
28:18
clear thinking, which sometimes I don't have around here
28:20
because I'm always looking for value. But
28:23
the charity bet is the map is that Noble Yeats. So
28:25
I've got 200 with William Hill. We're
28:28
going to go for him at 13 to 2 for
28:30
30 each way. That is the stairs hurdle at
28:33
half past three. Then we have
28:35
in the half one, let's be clear about it, 20 to
28:37
1 for 15 each way. Gabby's
28:40
cross to 17 to 2 in the two tenth
28:42
for 15 each way. We also have
28:45
James de Burley 14 to 1, probably bigger than that now,
28:47
18 to 1 for 15 each way. And then Where It
28:49
All Began for 20 each way at 15 to 2. So
28:52
the five I'm picking Where It All Began, James de
28:54
Burley, Gabby's cross, that's to be
28:57
clear about it. And the each
28:59
way map is Noble Yeats. So it's an each
29:01
way kind of approach for me. And Tom has
29:03
gone for the juggler. He's going for the... The
29:07
t-shirt one. Yeah. Yeah.
29:10
And I don't know what he's thinking. And he's probably cleared
29:12
it. He's probably made it clear more clear in my mind
29:14
that they'll probably win those races. So
29:16
sorry, let's be clear about it. Gabby's cross, Noble
29:18
Yeats, James de Burley. And what was the fifth one,
29:20
John? Where It All Began in
29:22
the last race. Where It All Began. And you're putting
29:24
15 each way on that. I'm
29:27
putting 20 each way on that. Yeah. So
29:29
15 each way on three of them. James de Burley,
29:31
let's be clear about it. And Gabby's cross, 20 each
29:34
way on Where It All Began.
29:37
And 30 each way on Noble
29:39
Yeats. Lads, a pleasure. For
29:41
some reason, I don't know, it can't be due to a lack
29:44
of racing knowledge. I'm being replaced in the hot seat tomorrow by
29:46
somebody else. So as somebody who knows a lot less about racing
29:48
than me, we'll obviously be here tomorrow to pick your race. What?
29:51
That's great. At this grace, Tom, I totally agree.
29:53
Enjoy your day. Great to see you,
29:55
Tom. John, we'll see you back here in Dublin very shortly. And
29:58
hopefully good things are coming today. Thanks
30:00
Tom, thanks Owen, appreciate it. Thanks guys. That's
