Gordon Elliot has kept National Service in the UK for the weekend after winning in good style at Wolverhampton Friday evening. He is turned out over a furlong less at 1pm Kempton with a 6lb penalty. He has previously won over 5f at the track.

Too late now and even though hes riding pretty good atm but i think the best thing to do with Cooper when offering him the retainer was not give him the choice of rides. Put him on the best or most suitable horse when there is 2 or more in it but take the choice out of his hands and let him concentrate on just riding. This way we will ride the rocky underdog fight like he was doing shelling winners before he got the big job.
Him making choices is only putting even more pressure on his young shoulders and he would be riding even better this way. Perhaps 3rd or 4th year of the retainer he can have the choice.
Probably complete vollox that!"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

She had some treatment from a quack who thinks he has solved a niggle that was hurting her when jumping. If she runs to her form and shows what she has been doing at home she is close enough to a winning mark.

Not big into racing so I'm wondering is this as incredible as it looks? Surprised it wasn't posted here even though you'll all have seen it somewhere I suppose.

Originally posted by Sirtoyou View PostI notice Jennie is in the betting for the mares hurdle at Ascot. Is she an intended runner? Is it the first venture across the sea? What are the expectations after her lovely run Lto, the tweak to the back problem seems to have worked?
She went to Cheltenham once for the mares , ground went badly against her on the day but she had travelled over well, loved the course that hill is right up her street and we are sick and tired trying to find another opportunity for her there but there nothing worked out for her there. Festival ground is 'just weather' as I'm always telling the naysayers but the fucking weather has always been against us in March
There probably won't be a lot of non runners from those entries. Its very hard to assess the form against the English mares, she would have a few lengths to find with Kalane on Punchestowns running but this will be a very different race.
Fry's looks like a good un but a lot of them have shown their best on better ground. It looks like a very competitive race without the fav.
Weather should be ok, there is a small bit of rain in the forecast tonight then cold and dry until temperature rise to about 10 on sat am.
No real point in making any comparisons to her run against Vroum Vroum Mag in Thurles last year however if Cooper lets her pop the last instead of (correctly IMO) giving her a chance to win, Jennies is going to be the closest finisher behind her since she came to Ireland. Vroum Vroum Mag's hurdle run over 2 miles at Clonmel never raised much more than a canter and really shouldn't be included in calculations. Still, things like the proximity of MrsMcVeale in that race, VVMag extending her trip beyond 20f for the first time since a facile chase win in Limerick and the way the race is likely to be run and the form Jennies has been in at home are all little straws we can cling to.
Does lack of jockey declarations at this stage mean anything as there are 5 listed so far
As an intended runner I suppose if a few were to come out 25/1 1/5 th 3 places on pp could be on the generous side but with her the value is usually in the betfair place only markets.
Not sure if Saturday will turn out to be the retirement party I'm hoping to drag it out till the handicap hurdle on the last day of punchestown but you'd never know.
Oh and...

Will you be using young McCarthy as the jockey or one of the English based jocks with a bit more experience round Ascot
If its to be her last swansong, you got a great run out of her over the last few years well done

Great write up Strewel, hopefully you'll get the rest of the season from her. Either way thanks for the great contribution she has made around these parts. Your heart on sleeve style in the write ups over the years has been both refreshing and endearing. No doubt there'll be e few nice ones to come from her down the line and we are around long enough to enjoy watching them too.

Just had a look at today's action in Clonmel and after reading all about the first race I had to post.
This is the third running of the race and Willie Mullins has won it the first two years. He runs the unraced Fire in Soul which was purchased for €200,000 in June 2014 by Mouse Morris and is now owned by the Gigginstown Stud. He was with Gordon Elliot but is now with Mullins. Cooper rides him today. As I post this the horse was 100/30 joint second favourite.
The 13/8 favourite has good form but he was third in a race where the favourite and runner-up was a Willie Mullins trained horse. The joint second favourite is trained by Elliot and has one run to date and he wasn't very impressive that day.
Why is the Mullins horse so big? I feel like I have to be on it. Race is at 1.25'Mental Toughness is doing the right thing for the team when it's not the best thing for you' - Bill Belichick
