[Other Sport] Tony Bloom's horses running thread

[Poyningsgull]

Beaten by a neck.

 

[slimes]

The 16/1 winner is a very good horse..

lle Antlantique looks like a chaser going over hurdles.. Arkle 2025 next year or possibly the Turners as 2m 4f will suit better

Tony's Tango Boy is declared to run tomorrow at Plumpton (15:20) - Will be well worth keeping an eye on the market once the prices become available.

11 year old running three miles round a ploughed field with a few hurdles thrown in, and two most recent runs ended Fell and Pulled Up? Not for me Jeff, not even each way at a hefty double figures price

Plumpton very much not a ploughed field these days. The grounds staff won grounds team of the year last year. They have really sorted out the drainage and the turf is in brilliant condition now, investment and hard work really paying off. As a member there it has been very much improved in the last ten years or so.

Can't argue with that - 2 horses died racing there last year compared to 5 in 2022 and 8 in 2021

Barbaric so called "sport" where horses die solely for betting purposes.

Fair enough, not been there for a while. Think the last time I was there a 66/1 outsider came home in a three mile chase in a field of three, being the last horse left standing

It's a decent day out now, they've invested in the bars etc.

 

[martin tyler]

Great day out is plumpton and good to support the local tracks -

I’ve done £1 e/w on the knackered old nag, no idea of the prices yet.

Seem to recall it was a bit or miss as to whether the trains would stop at Plumpton on raceday. Been on more than one that sailed straight through Plumpton despite being advertised as stopping there

 

[Billy Seagull]

Trains have been stopping ok there for years albeit only one an hour despite there actually being two an hour, the other goes straight through which is ridiculous.

I've been on more than one raceday train over the years that is advertised as stopping at Plumpton and... just... doesn't...

I remember being on one of the old slam door trains in the 90s that didn’t stop so they arranged to stop at Wivelsfield, which it wasnt going to do, and get the next train down to stop and pick us up. Happy days !!

I remember cajoling one wheezy old boy who I got chatting to on the train from Lewes across the platform at Haywards Heath because the train didn't stop at Plumpton as advertised. We had about two minutes to make it onto the train back to Lewes which did stop at Plumpton. Only on that train did he confide that he'd only very recently had a serious heart operation and was supposed to be taking things easy

Best price 10/1 Bet365 (4 places). Not touching it myself.

Another big fan of Plumpton here. I try to get to most of the weekday meetings but can’t go tomorrow as it was too late to rearrange work stuff.

Lovely compact course, really friendly people, support local businesses when it comes to food and drink.

I know the racecourse management are frustrated with the train situation since they made the decision to alternate trains stopping at Plumpton and Cooksbridge with no additional stops on race days.

 

[Is it PotG?]

I love Plumpton.

Had a very good friend owning a house over the road on the far side, 'next door' to Raymond Briggs.

Never forget the day we went on a family fun day there, backed 6/7 winners and won a big fluffy dog on the stalls. What life is all about.

Tango Boy is a non-runner due to the soft going.

My mate Mark once had a go on the coconut shy there. Fantastic shot and the coconut flew off. Well the top half did. The bottom half was nailed to its holder
