Dear All
There is a serious challenge heading inexorably to these shores from across the Irish Sea; a mighty presence will be felt...
The clans are gathering... if you only place one wager during the upcoming Cheltenham Festival week make sure it's one of those occasionally riveting novelty bets; you know the one that asks you to predict the number of winners trained at the Festival in Ireland.
I seriously expect this number to exceed 11 and maybe even 12 or 13; so strong does the Irish contingent breathe heavily its well-being when one examines the bookies' ante post lists.
These are my initial thoughts:
Hurricane Fly: So Young: Monksland: Sea of Thunder: Lambro: First Lieutenant: Sir Des Champs: Sizing Europe: Un Atout: Quevega: Scotsirish: Noble Prince: Rubi Light: That's a baker's dozen to be going on with; none of them particularly dark! One or two of them in the same race of course!
We haven't, as yet, pencilled in contenders for the Fred Winter, the Martin Pipe, the 4-miler, the Grand Annual, the Kim Muir, what was once known as the William Hill, the Pertemps, the County Hurdle or the Coral Cup...
Phew! This is getting serious; reckon I should look for odds for 15+ winners...
We haven't yet mentioned First Instalment, Hidden Cyclone, Terminal, Thousand Stars, Oscars Well, Jessies Dream; Steps To Freedom, Mount Benbulben, Sous Les Cieux, Ut De Sivola, Bog Warrior, Big Zeb, Voler La Vedette, Mikael d'Haguenet, Rathlin, Our Girl Salley, Garde Champetre, Bostons Angel. The list is seemingly endless...
Tomorrow I will identify 4 Irish Trained horses not to be missed...
Happy punting
