 Re: NH : Talk Reaction Banter
Dads Lad (7th) - Promising run over a trip slightly too short. Made a lot of errors though. Westmoreland Road (6th) - Excellent run from the gamebred in the bumper Musa Jets (9th) - Expected little and he showed little Bullfighter (7th) - Solid run from the returnee. No Strings (UR) - Running quite well until unseating. He sustained an injury, hopefully he will be ok for next week TC Flyer (5th) - GET IN, first prize money this season with a poor 5 out of 7 finishers. It's a start Day Trip (3rd) - Leading on the run to the last but ran out of steam. Excellent run, could be a big player the 2m4 novice chase division Prince Lune (2nd) - HELLO?! Another leading into the last but faded at the end. Very surprising run, he could be one to follow this season Agage (9th) - Bit disappointment of the day, thought he would be the stable star! May need to go up in trip. Zod (5th) - 3rd season veteran and he performed admirably over a trip slightly too far. Delighted with my day, 4 in the money! Paul - Sir Terminator looks an absolute beast!

 Re: NH : Talk Reaction Banter
R21 Soldier Blue (2nd) - good run on going much quicker than ideal. got outpaced at a vital stage but ran on well and just failed to catch the winner. R22 Dusty Tools ((3rd) - decent effort. just found a couple of better rivals on the day. R25 Boucher (2nd) - wants it soft/heavy to show his best. great effort. R29 Wonder Of You (1st) - ran well and managed to hang on for the win. jockey kicked for home too early and almost got collared by Paul's horse in the closing stages. R30 Top Of The World (3rd) - I don't rate my juvenile hurdlers very highly at all, so really pleased to see him run into a place. R31 Sea Shanty (9th) - still wondering what happened with this one. it does mean she could be very well handicapped next time out.
A good day and a pretty decent week, once we moved away from Listowel and Tramore, for my stable. well done all winners and placers.

 Re: NH : Talk Reaction Banter
Thanks Leon. I had forgotten about his race!
I thought mine did ok, with the exception of Bandito in race 21 who did excellently, he wants softer ground in game so it will be interesting if he can follow up when the ground gets softer. The others finished midfield which means I ought to be able to find a nice handicap or two for them. If I get time I'm going to try to breed some more before Saturday to see if I can get my numbers up a bit.

 Re: NH : Talk Reaction Banter
A bit of a  day for me. Welsh Oak fell Long Engagment 1st, fab run. Sidbury Hill 4th, good run on fast ground wants a bog. Barney Knows 3rd, very happy with that, the least talented horse in my team. Flying Oats 0, head scratcher will get a good h'cap mark. Mossvile Fell Mass Appeal 3rd, to many mistakes but still happy with the run. Dawn Run 5th, didn't seem to stay the distance

 Re: NH : Talk Reaction Banter
Estoril (13th) - Last. He was a G1 juvenile hurdler last season but gave possibly the worst performance I have seen in the league! An absolute stinker but what a handicap mark to play with. Galaxy Role (8th) - A couple of early mistakes sent him back but a decent return Suit and Tie (11th) - Headed half a mile out and faded badly Ibiza (7th) - One of my worst horses but may spring a surprise on heavy ground during the winter Zod World (10th) - Not a good start over fences for this returnee Lunigan (10th) - Finished closer than the result suggests
After the high of some good places yesterday, a big bump back down to earth today.
Things may well improve when some of last years winners return in the next week or two.
Thank you for running the races guys, it's great to be back

 Re: NH : Talk Reaction Banter
I only uploaded 15 horses this season. Did quite a bit of breeding over 2m and 2m 4f but only bred 1 generation past last seasons team over the longer distances.
After doing so well last season, I had high hopes for some of this seasons horses, especially over the shorter distances.
I did have one winner in race 24, a 2m hurdle race and a 2nd in race 31, a 2.1m chase race but the rest were very disapointing.
The standard of this seasons races seems much higher than in previous seasons.
Just have to keep my fingers crossed that some of my horses do better in week 2.
