This is just an incredible video 😮
I'll never ever know how she got to the other side of the fence, but one thing is certain: Paul Townend will be staying clear of her the next day 😂
17:25 at Gowran Park is a very interesting watch 👀
This was not pleasant watching❗️
Great to see that the stewards took appropriate actions in this case 👏🏻
Nothing compares to this place 😁
Today was a big day for me, with Ballyburn at 8/1 and Fact To File at 33/1 in the ante post book 💪🏻💰
Cheltenham until next time over and out 🫡

Horses To Follow:
BUNTING - Trainer: W P Mullins
The form of his maiden has worked out well he beat decent horses by 7L comfortably. With only one run under his belt the amount of improvement left in him is a complete unknown to the level of his ability.
33/1 Triumph Hurdle

Mister Policeman - Trained: W P Mullins
On his Irish debut he done everything you want traveling well, his jumping was excellent and won under a hands and heels effort. Beating hardend handicappers second who had a mark of 142
Arkle 20/1 - Turners 25/1

Until next year 🫡
👀 Horse to watch TEESHAN
📍17:05 Exeter on Sunday
🐎 Teeshan won a P2P in Loughanmore, where he won by 41 lengths and set the day's quickest time by 16 seconds (80 lengths). I thought that he is the stand out P2P performance of the season so far, and received an RPR of 97🔥
Horses To Follow:
ENOLA - Trainer: W P Mullins
A 4 year old filly who will go novice hurdling this season potentially being aimed at the Mares Novice Hurdle I think she could be quite smart prospect for the season ahead.
Mares Novice Hurdle 16/1
I thought this lad was going to be a stayer but he might have just sent Ballyburn to the Ballymore so I forgive him 😂
Willie plz just line up Mystical Power and Tullyhill in the Supreme and don’t bingo me 😂🙏🏻

, day one and we get to see FACILE VEGA ❤️💙
Cheltenham blues triggered my yearly Cheltenham Festival antepost bet for the following year keeping it to small stakes. I love to do one just after the festival, time to get excited again 359 days 😁
Arkle - Impaire Et Passe (20/1)
Turners - Ballyburn (7/2)
Double pays 93.5/1
Horses To Follow
Giovinco - Trainer: Lucinda Russell
In a wide open renweal of the RSA on paper at the moment I think Giovinco is good value at 25/1 and can see him making a big impact in the staying novice chasers after a very impressive victory on his final run last season.
Time comparisons taken from the first hurdle to the finish line ⏱️
Sir Gino vs Lossiemouth
Both races ran over 2m1f
Note Sir Gino carried 5lbs more
The juveniles set off at a faster pace than the Unibet hurdle, but as you can see, Lossiemouth closed the deficit between the
This is one of the best bumper winners I have seen this season so far 👀
He raced completely wrong, But still came up the hill strongly. He will have to learn to settle going forward 🔥
Horses to follow:
STELLAR STORY - Trainer: G Elliott
I think he has showed incredibly battling traits in his two bumper wins and I’m full sure what ever he done in bumpers was only a bonus a step up in trip this season I think he is gonna relish.
Albert Bartlett 33/1
This week marks one year on the

@TipsterExposer
The second video he is slagging someone for their hairline - With that 10k he says he has won the first thing he should be doing is booking an appointment at a hair clinic to fix his own 😂
There have been many ups and downs with this antepost selection 😂
Fact To File is by far my best pick this season at 33/1; let's hope he can do the job now 😁
🟢 Impaire Et Passe 🟢 has shown yesterday that he is not the strongest stayer over intermediate trips. But, by god, he caught your attention throughout the race with the manner he travelled. I believe he is a proper 2m horse; he was defeated by State Man, that is no shame having

This is an appalling watch, and the BHA has to crack down on it severely ‼️
Hillsin trained by Chris Honour opened up at 9/4 drifted out to 11/1 SP.
It’s clear to see this horse was not ridden to achieve his best position.
#BHA
#Worcester
#HorseRacing
A terrific race beaten by a length. I think there are lots of positives to take from the race he jumped beautifully, I think the jockey could have used him more throughout the race when he was jumping so good, I'm definitely not giving up hope on Giovinco.

Just hit the 2k followers mark on here 🥳
I began posting stuff on here during the last jump season. As you know, I like my stopwatch ⏱️ and posting visual race comparisons for people to use as an alternate analysis of a race the more information on a race the better, I believe.
I have completed the times comparisons for:
Facile Vega v State Man v Gaelic Warrior
I used Facile Vega as the main comparison so lengths are Behind or In Front of him.
All ran over the same distance on the same day
(Note second last hurdle was omitted for two later races)
The jumps is back and we begin at Gowran Park tomorrow 🥳
Can't wait to see Aurora Vega in the listed bumper best of luck to

Cheltenham is just 21 days away 😁
Day 1 is fascinating at this point for me 🤔
Supreme Novices Hurdle
Who is running? Does Ballyburn run, or will Paul Townsend ride Tullyhill?
Arkle Novices Chase
Do you still believe in Marine Nationale? It is a race where you can fight
Emmet Mullins magic 🪄 Sure what else would you be doing on a Monday sending a horse 20+lbs well in and landing a punt at Newton Abbot 🤣
Will we see him turn up to a Pertemps Qualifier now 👀 ?

Allegorie De Vassy vs Allaho

A WHAT A DAY 😁
1) Constitution Hill news
2) Horses getting halved in price eight months out from the festival
National Hunt season is fast approaching 🥳
⭐️ Best Performance of DRF ⭐️
I haven’t heared too much about Fact To File performance, possibly because Gaelic Warrior was left behind. But you cannot take away from F2F, this was an unbelievable run, took it up down the back, and was not for catching 🚀
A big overreaction to Ballyburn performance today. He jumped nicely in the main error at the second last, he never bridged that gap. He is not a speedy horse, the race was ran slowly with a sprint finish. Vibes also told you he would need the run.
My first ever ante-post series complete 🫡 That means Cheltenham is only around the corner T-19 days 🥳
Some good some bad hopefully a couple can land 🤞🏻
