Never thought I would win 2 G1 races!!

Well done to all the winners and placers.

R2 Looking At You (1st) - to be honest didn't think it would win, thought for sure some other horse would close it down but it hung on :)

R4 Eagle Rock (11th) - totally outclassed.

R10 Golden Serenity (4th) - Outclassed but I think her best distance is 3800m so will try to place at 4000m and under.

R15 Redcraze (2nd) - nearly pulled it off but can't be disappointed with coming second to Jack Mor

R24 Galleon (1st) - How did it come back to win??? Carpe Diem was unlucky

Can someone tell me if I was lucky in my 2 G1 wins as I'm not a good judge of NHC racing?

Cheers all.


Congrats Scatters

How are you liking the jumps league?

For me your horses won well. The name of the game is jumping in this league, specially at Cheltenham and 2m Chasers.

Looking At You jumped super all way round. I feel i would have been close if not for a bad mistake 3f out, one mistake can cost you the race. That's why i love this league so much and in general. You can have the best horse in the race, but it doesn't always win.

Galleon did it very well from the front mate and looked to have saved some energy for the end of the race.

So for me you wasn't lucky at all, you horses jumped better in the two races and the timings of your runs wore spot on imo. If they wore GOOD ground horses, that's a big plus as well :)

Thanks Duke for the link and all the work you done gimme your address I send you a packet of Tunes or Soothers, your choice. Love the coms just makes it 2x better but you should look after yourself 1st.

No wins for me, roll on Aintree lol, 2 seconds in hcps is good though and 5th in gold cup so I`m happy. I love Cosmic Blaster she is the stable star and may come back next season, she`s still a maiden so... Also Skip n Click ran on well after stuffing up early. Would love to see Morley street jump well but oh well.

Loved it all, can we do it again next week lol?

Had a bet Waabesh so I win some!!!

Well done everybody and Duke your comms are superb, even pronouncing my tongue tingeing stables name "La Zarzuela" in the Istabraq.

A few good runs from mine a couple got themselves in trouble and may of placed better, but a win in the Pipe listed race will do.

Well done all.

Thanks for the kind words guys on the comms, much appreciated.

Thanks for the offer of some throat sweets DT, :lol: can't seem to shake off this annoying cough I've had for seemingly weeks verging onto months now which is rather bloody annoying!!

Really happy with the week as a whole which saw some rather impressive performances especially from the unbeaten monster Maeglin Ancalime, but what a performance from my boy Waabesh, off such a slow pace like that (he'd of hated it) and still managed to win easy was a thrill I haven't experienced in the UKRA for some time, and I'm building a solid NH stable for next season now.

Gutted with the fall of Treasure Beach as I think he'd of gone close, probably wouldn't of beaten the excellent Scatters trained winner though. Strange, he jumps fine in my race builder. :shock:

A brilliant week with some cracking winners, and the opening race was a joy to be involved in narrowly getting beaten with Amaretto Rose by Hemz's State Elegant. :(

Need to find something for the Gold Cup next season. Will Eric Kelly return to defend his crown next year JJ? Or do you have something better up your sleeve down at Slievenamon Stables?

Eric Kelly will be back next season. The Gold Cup will be the target again. I've got a few horses in the works who can compete with Eric including its brother Ned Kelly.
