Some people slating him, saying he beat a handicapper and wait for the Irish. The time of the race would have put him 2nd in the Tingle Creek, admittedly getting 3 pounds. The "handicapper" Boothill is rated 147 and Jonbon has kicked him out the way. That's got to be a 160+ performance for me, he fairly smashed through the winning line without being properly asked. That puts him in Edwardstone (beat the Irish in last year's Arkle) rating bracket, and Jonbon was in front of all the Irish in the Supreme, so what's to fear?
You know the game though , others not so much , infact they don't understand handicapping likely not able to understand either , ironically as they are in fact handicaped lol
Jonbon I've followed since Newbury hurdles debut last November, look were we are now, boothill I'm following as well, so it was hard watching both my horses racing against each other,. I know jonbon was better horse anyway,. Roll on the arkle,
If Jonbon was trained by an Irishman they would shouting from the rooftops about how good this horse is like they did with his brother Douvan, that's a fact.
Cause they wud the fact is i dont even think the irish have a horse in the top 3 ranked of all time. Hendersons prob got 2 in the top 10 sprinter sacre and alitor. Who has mullins got. All bang on mullins is the best trainer fact is aint having the best year his self
Yeah but douvan was littered with injuries throughout hes career noone knows how good he could have been noone so u cant knock douvan he beat what was put in front of him like jonbon is doing so u cant really knock douvan
@@somemotherdoavem Flyingbolt is one, trained by Tom Dreaper in Ireland. Won Champion Chase in 1966, followed by an Irish National giving 3 Stone away (42 Pounds) to the second- Height of Fashion.
@@paulsummerfield6357 well have a look at the top 10 horses of all time and it wont have made but yes agree and not saying havent had good horses. But seems everyone wants to slate henderson and the blokes had great horses for years same as mullins and whoever but most have a hell of alot more horses
Very impressive alex..the way he went up the hill was good..think he has great chance in a arkle .obviously wont be easy but hes looked very good so far..
To say it's only jonbon second start I think jonbon can win the arkle then next year step up to 2 half miles then u see the best of him but fil dor and jonbon is been most impressive g
If thoroughbred racing and those that partake in it interest you, you might enjoy First Mount, a short novelette that I read recently about a young jockey’s travails at making the weight to get his first ride and what he’s willing to endure to get it.
@@garyowen4112 el fabiolo only lost a neck on his 2nd start, dysart would have beaten him if he'd stayed on his feet and sir gerhard will beat him too if he goes arkle
People have a go at him what's he beat I don't see anyone exactly saying IL TAKE HIM ON cos they know if they do they get beat only one horse has ever beat him and he COULD turn out out to be the best hurdler of all time only time will tell us I do think hes all speed and hes the typical queen mother champion chase horse could be wrong let's wait and see
@@edwinbongog449 I watch every race nearly everyday mate for the past 40 yrs, from firm ground to good ground to good/soft ,to heavy mate, so I know " ground conditions" Alan king said I quote, ," that is the best racing ground I've seen for a long time" if it started to rain today( it didn't ), you would then say it was heavy wouldn't you? If I listened to comments on ground from people like you I'd pack this game up mate, are you ready" today's ground at sandown was "good" good to soft in places in chase course" do you understand that do you ?
@@roberttalbot6397 you need a new glasses mate did you check the time on all the hurdles race they were slower than soft in fact it’s heavy so dont lecture me about the going description.
I agree with your comment, because I can't forget how he was brushed aside by constitution hill over hurdles. Jonbon is a very very good horse, but there will be an Irish horse or two too strong
@@davidpearson6785 look not gonna diassagree but u cant mk assumltions on what knowledge u have none. Its like the eugemene theme he was beat by em both when fell last march.

The handicapper must b on funny pills if hes rated boothill 147 not a hope

@@austinmerrigan3404 he won a handicap off 140 beating an emmet Mullins plot job. fully deserves that rating.
@@tomhurcombe2185 what was the name of the plot job from emmet mullins stable
@@austinmerrigan3404 so Scottish, they went off joint favs.
He did that nicely he's a geourgous horse jumps like a stag . Be nice to see him go to Ireland and better opposition. He's a pleasure to watch
He'd be afraid to come to Ireland with him
@@robertdelacy3434 J.P owns him as u know and he's a sportsman so Henderson may take him to Dublin Fest. He's a nice horse Robert.
@@suemaher5282 ah I doubt it sue he won't want to take on the big boys before Cheltenham
@@robertdelacy3434 Hope u and your family have a great Xmas Robert

That last jump took 3 lengths out of boothill wow. Won't beat a mullins horse but good yoke
Mullins best shot for the Arkle is with El Fabiolo who Jonbons already turnt over …
Beautiful performance, the neigh sayers will be silenced by April
Very impressive alex..the way he went up the hill was good..think he has great chance in a arkle .obviously wont be easy but hes looked very good so far..
By the time the arkle comes be about 8 runners in it if that
Their is no way nicky is sending this lad to ireland it will b the arkle before this lad sees real irish opposittion then we can see how good he is
Thought Paddy were fools to pay out early (I know they still might be if he doesn't make it) but he's already a Chelts banker for me
To say it's only jonbon second start I think jonbon can win the arkle then next year step up to 2 half miles then u see the best of him but fil dor and jonbon is been most impressive g
Looks full of beans .
looks like he has plenty more to give.

@@r-leanmygirl-gj2kt Oh thank you I'll give it a try.
Anyone else think he should run in the Turner's?...
No competition again wait til he meets the Irish
he has beat every irish horse that he has ran against at cheltenham and aintree

Hahaha good ground my foot looks like very soft ground to me.
Very soft,are you seeing things? Good to soft all over the track, perfect racing ground,.

Jokers…might as well have run against itself….competitive racing down the toilet unless its bloody cheltenham 🤦🏻♂️
Cheltenham’s next weekend mate
What against boothill come on
It is what it is,. Name other horses to be competitive with jonbon and boothill,. Cheltenham in March brings together the best
@@roberttalbot6397 Honeysuckle is also one of them.
Hes got some engine
Henderson Army going crazy again 😂😂
Calm down folks, he’s beaten a handicapper today!!!
How the fuck is boothill a handicaper

@@davidpearson6785 You are seriously comparing him to Constitution Hill, a horse that could be the best 2 mile hurdler we have ever seen ? Wow.
But I agree, a better Irish horse could turn up and beat him. That is quiet possible, who knows.
Piece of work
Won't win arkle
Howwwww gooood is jonbon now lol mullins suckers hey
racing turkeys el fabiolo will tank him at cheltenham
