(One two many: Connections of ForPadyDePlasterer suffer with seconditus)
Not another second ForPadyDePlasterer...
Connections of Forpadydeplasterer once again had to settle for second best on the opening day of the Punchestown Festival 11 days after recording second place at Aintree behind Albertas Run after registering second to Big Zeb before this at the Cheltenham Festival. In fact the bay has now come 2nd in all of his last six runnings. Trainer Thomas Cooper must be wondering what it will take for the 8 year old to win a race, the horse just does not seem to want to win and is suffering from a rather long dose of seconditus.
Today Golden Silver took the prize money from under the nose of Forpadydeplasterer beating him 2 1/2 lengths in the Boylesports.com Champion Chase ridden by Barry Geraghty.
But maybe the owners Goat Racing Syndicate have just been unlucky, just take a look at what Forpadydeplasterer has been beaten by... Albertas Run under a thrilling Tony McCoy ride, Big Zeb, Cooldine, Twist Magic, none of these are mugs all having registered big wins respectively.
But Forpadydeplasterer did beat Arkle Chase winner Sizing Europe for second by a decent 4 1/2 lengths proving Cheltenham form does not always support itself in Ireland who in turn beat old rival of Forpadydeplasterer Kalahari King ridden into fourth by Davy Russell.
