We are the 4Horsemen of the Apocalypse !!! .... a bet of these horses is .........

Usually.....

(Tee Hee Hee!!!)

 

Bonjour. Bienvenue mes Dames et Monsieurs. 

Welcome to our page of woe…(TEE HEE HEE!!!) …
God, I hope you're better than the crowd that were in last week!!!.

There we were (lying down on the job as usual) when the "boss" gives us a tap…doesn't want much…just wants a few certain short priced losers at the NH festival…we could just list his selections and we'd be off to a flyer!!!…(TEE HEE HEE!!!)

Not an easy task, I can tell you. However, after careful consideration (and infighting amongst the four of us) here are our "condemned to failure":……


DAY ONE
2:00 Gerrard Supreme Novices' Hurdle (Gr.1)

WESTENDER
Like A Butterfly was going to be the choice, however she is an exceptional mare and I'd rather be on side than in opposition. Of more interest is Westender, who is the subject of sustain market support of late. He looked jaded when soundly beaten in the Ladbroke Hurdle, and we find recent support for him rather baffling … we think it will be misplaced 

3:15 Smurfit Champion Hurdle Challenge Trophy (Gr.1)

 
ISTABRAQ
Sorry to rain on your party, however we know many of you will be going to Cheltenham to cheer this horse on to immortality but Father Time has been catching up with the reigning champion for a while now and for the first time ever at Cheltenham you could argue that he needs to improve on the form shown to win…not likely at his advanced age. 


3:55 William Hill National Hunt H'cap Steeple Ch. 

GUNTHER MCBRIDE
Although he impressed in winning the Racing Post chase … surely a 17lbs rise in the weights is too harsh….


DAY THREE 
3:15 Tote Cheltenham Gold Cup Steeple Ch. (Gr.1)


LOOKS LIKE TROUBLE
A gamble really … however the stats are on our side … his form at Wincanton is nothing special … lets hope he isn't!!!

 

3:55 Christie's Foxhunter Steeple Ch. Challenge Cup 

SHELTERING

Can you really support him on his record in this race, never mind his disappointing run at Leopardstown last time out? 

 


NOW BE OFF WITH YOU!!! We're off to see our MUMMY ... (MUMMIES) ... get it? ... Oh we give up!!!... But do come again ... "We like to talk to you....

(TEE HEE HEE!!!)

Success Stories

THE DERBY 2001
"Dilshaan won the Dante in good style and is my preference from this camp purely in that tactics looks to be more straightforward for him and he looks assured to stay based on York. He also has the jockey for the big occasion on board. However, for the selection I will choose Galileo. Unbeaten and untested so far his best performance came last time and the form has already been devalued. Despite this it is the potential this one holds which fires my imagination and there seems an heir of confidence in the Irish camp. Unlike Hills and Stoute he is the sole representative from the 6 entries that O'Brien left in at the recent declaration stage. There are always question marks about Saddlers Well's stock and the 12F trip but Imagine went some way to putting that theory to bed yesterday. It also goes without saying that the stable are in simply super form which is another plus. I take him to beat Dilshaan and Putra Sandhurst. Golan (I think) will come full of running but not get home"
