L'ami

by Shortheadwin (U13813519) 31 March 2009
comment on the article

Has anyone noticed on the racingpost website that L'ami has 14628 bets compared to next best of 4646 bets (My Will). This is quite strange considering he (L'ami) is over 20's in some places. Is this an indicator that Tony Mccoy is going to ride him?

Sorry madmax, your most recent past is unintelligible. As for your "mccoy will not get to ride for bolger end off" - I think you fail to appreciate that McCoy is retained by an OWNER (McManus) rather than any trainer.

If there was any question of Bolger not wanting McCoy, McManus would want to know what the hell was going on.

oliver the thing is if bolger doesnt want mccoy and he has never wanted him as he has never ridden for edna and jp told him that mccoy had to ride i think garde champetre lami drombeag heads on the ground would never win another race as bolger would not train them as he has stated in the past nina and jt will ride his horses and robbie power getting rides aswell.if he is on l ami i will eat my hat and never post on here again thats how sure i am

Max - I'm sure you're not the first to call Bolger Edna, but it is Enda.

I agree that McCoy will ride Butlers Cabin, have no idea why he never rides for Bolger maybe there's history.

bolger doesnt want to use him as he has faith in his jocks and i think he has stated it before

McCoy will ride Butler's Cabin but because the horse needs good ground he is simply holding fire with his decision until he personally rides the course on thursday. As long as he is happy with it, he will declare he will ride Butler's on Thursday evening. L'Ami is an accident waiting to happen in the National as Micky Fitz found out last year and the other two Mac runners are not the same class as Butler's Cabin its a fairly easy decision for McCoy.
