These aren’t good enough

Don’t know what sort of quantity / quality we’ll get
Snap up anything that looks like it’ll come

Thoughts on Tiger Moth ?

No point snapping up things that will need to win to get in (may as well back them in that race) or are likely going to start longer on the day once people realise how bog average they are. LDV is rated about 10 pounds inferior to PoA who has had to win to get in the last two years. My other antepost rule are only back those that can actually get in the race.

Tiger moth would be perfectly fine but haven't heard a single thing suggesting he will come.

Just keep on backing the baby. Only strategy worth following this year

Falcon, Maluckyday and now the Baby. Dat potential though. Worth going broke for

So you’re saying Suprise Baby to run a gallant 4th

Nah the common link is they all went like busteds after slashing Cup runs as lightly raced unexposed types

Was having a look at MC pre-noms and one jumped out at me Nickajack Cave.
Racing in a G3 tonight at Leopardstown over 2400m.
I'll be on it.

Might win tonight - doubt it could win at Flemington if it started in the morning. Not good enough.

Might not be good enough for MC
Definite G1 winner in OZ.

Looooooooooooooooooooooool

It barely beat a horse rated 100 last night - this kind of Irish form is much much weaker than English form

 

[HeathySure]

Looooooooooooooooooooooool

It barely beat a horse rated 100 last night - this kind of Irish form is much much weaker than English form

but still way better than Aussie staying form!

Not those animals - that was a race for the type of imports Oz Bloodstock buy to run around in Sydney offseason staying races

 

[king rising]

Quite excited about Skyward
(T:Fabrice Chappet) who won nicely at Deauville last night. Believe Australian connections in the form of J Messara have bought him specifically aimed at this race. Nice scopey horse

Has absolutely none. Was awful the two starts before that and running in races that are nowhere near good enough.

The type that will have to win his way into the race out here anyway.

If Messara didn’t own it you wouldn’t even hear about it.

 

[iluvparis]

But it does seem the stage of the year any horse that wins a race over 2400+ in Europe with an Australian connection is labeled a contender.

Unless Lloyd owns them the rest of the importers have proven they have NFI who to buy
