DRF Irish Champion Hurdle Day

[humblepie]

Not going to be watching all of it so will be on catch up later. I’m a State Man fan. Some cracking horses all round

 

[bonny]

How could was the last novice hurdler ?

 

[bonny]

Good even !

I missed that race.

 

[Maddie Moo]

Looking forward to seeing State Man and Lossiemouth.

Great to see El Fabiolo up after a fall at the second, brave ride there on Solness!

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Brian Hughes pushing Innis Orr away, clever riding.

Hope rider is ok.

 

[Maddie Moo]

Hope the jockey is okay there at Musselburgh.

The horse has reappeared!

 

[Maddie Moo]

Loose horse gone through the railings and running up the road on the inside of the track

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Eek, he's all over the place now

 

[Maddie Moo]

Pity the groom who’s got to catch him!

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Does a rattle of a bucket of nuts work with high quality animals as it does with greedy natives?

No idea He’s probably having a great time tearing up the golf course that’s in the middle

 

[Maddie Moo]

ITV just said it’s a broken wrist and collarbone for Alan Doyle.

State Man and Lossiemouth time!

 

[Maddie Moo]

Eek

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Oh no Lossie

 

[[151802]]

That wasn’t nice to see, jockey doesn’t look too good .

 

[humblepie]

I’m not by a to. Has Lossiemouth fallen

 

[[151802]]

I’m not by a to. Has Lossiemouth fallen

Yes, but she did get up.

 

[Maddie Moo]

I’m not by a to. Has Lossiemouth fallen

Yes she fell heavily but trotted away and looked sound. Jockey looked very sore and was crouched by side of the hurdle

 

[humblepie]

Thank you.

Danny's ok, he rode in the next. I would say that was no guarantee, because he would totally ride broken if he had a good ride, but at least he had to pass a doctor.

JJ Slevin had a miserable day in his first big festival for Munir and Soude. I bet he hardly dare answer his phone tonight. Even worse the previous stable jockey was there helping saddle and leg up.

I haven’t seen any racing, bar the Champion hurdle. Daryl Jacob’s had plenty of shitty days in his time!
