bowles10 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Re: Daily Racing Chat Thread Nicholls really is struggling now isn't he, ive been thinking what horses does he have in the stable that are any good going forward? Henderson has a much stronger string as does Mullins. Nicholls has lost both HArry Fry and also DAn Skelton will leave in May to pursue a training career. Fry took a number of owners with him,i wonder how many fell out with Nicholls as Clive Smith did. The story i have heard about Smith / Nicholls is that the guy is egotistical and doesnt suffer anyone else's opinion other than his own. Its a shame as i cant see what he has in the locker for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not knowing Nicholls personally I won't comment but in regards to his horses I fully agree, and the loss of his 2 right hand men within 2 seasons must hurt. He hasn't really fired them in like he normally always does and it will be interesting to see how he goes next year considering Dan Skelton is leaving now too. Henderson on the other hand has so many top class prospects, as does Mullins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glceud Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Re: Daily Racing Chat Thread Coral 6/1 Seabass, Would it be odds on with Ruby Walsh or A.P McCoy on board. If it does win might just back it to win the next three Gold cups and throw in the Ascot one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a shame as i cant see what he has in the locker for next year. I was talking to Whoneedsrio about Nicholls the other week and said the same. Maybe a lot of success was due to what went on behind the scenes with Fry and Skelton and Nicholls might get found out now. Also as you say if he's upset an owner or two they'll be keen to shift their horses elsewhere. Going into Cheltenham he didn't really have a strong lineup did he? Kauto retired and Big Bucks out left him with Silviniaco Conti as his main hope. Never really liked Dodging Bullets so didn't fancy that and Kauto Stone looks overrated. I'm interested to see how he gets on for the next 2-3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trotter Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Re: Daily Racing Chat Thread Let's shine the spotlight on.....................Almaty Expresss ! When he won a class 6 handicap at Wolves on saturday he achieved what must be a very rare record of having won at least one race in each of 10 consecutive years Surely there can't be many racehorses who have achieved that ! 21 wins in total of which no less than 18 have come at Wolverhampton - I wonder if that might be something of a record as well ?

Primevil Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Re: Daily Racing Chat Thread 4 flat turf meetings over the next 7 days in the UK. Over double on the AW. The bookies love it, :cow From the 15th April, cards improve to level the balance...at least. Big Newbury meeting & Scottish National day at the end of that week, its all a bit average until then.:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertob Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Re: Daily Racing Chat Thread The Willie Mullins trained Blackstairmountain won the Nakayama Grand Jump in Japan! He was a generous 25/1 chance but won well with Ruby in the saddle eventually to land the 124 million yen (£822,000) contest. Great stuff!

Primevil Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Re: Daily Racing Chat Thread Does anyone know where you can find out about sales and how much was paid for certain horses? If the horse is already named, thru RP, click on dam, progeny sales. However if its unamed, you will need to know which sales ring it went thru.

last minute winner Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Re: Daily Racing Chat Thread Only slightly annoying when your horse is beaten by one that's been hammered off the boards and defeat was never in the equation. Gaelic Silver had another 3 lengths in hand on the rest of the field but Significant Move had clearly been trained to the minute for that race.

Jesus that man boils my blood. He needs put down. Come on Irish!!! He's fighting Cancer for goodness sake!!! Not that it excuses some appalling calls I know. Genuine thought though - and I've read this in many places - tis possibly best to watch a race without the commentery in order that you aren't influenced by the commentator and his thoughts on the race in-running. No doubt you are listening on Timeform Radio!! :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
