Champion Hurdle 2020

[Middle_Of_March]

Gutted about my saldier singles and multiples but more concerning are surely the reroutes that would screw many of us over. Envoi going here would be a disaster

Saldier and KD our hurts. But Christ Envoi rerouting would be the biggest blow antepost I’ve ever had (asides from BDDs fall last year).

I’m more than hopeful he will stay ballymore but I think we’d all be certain that they’d at least have a discussion about it!

If Envoi comes here I’m throwing my toys out of the pram and not attending the festival.

On a more serious note, I would still be in attendance but it would be a disaster if that happened.

The whole easiest race thing is a misnomer.
Mullins wants to win the Champion Hurdle vs the Mares race all day long.
So who goes where will depend on who he has in each race that can compete to win.

The ONLY reason Benie will not be supplemented is IF Willie is convinced that she would not have the pace to beat the other Champion hurdle contenders in the race this year.
It's very similar to the Annie Power situation, except Benie's hurdling is not quite as slick, and he had the ready made favourite for the mares that year with Vroum Vroum Mag.

I think Epatante could be very useful myself, although Willie may fancy his chances of beating her and the rest with Benie.
So will Gordon with Envoi.

Yep. 3 years ago, Yanworth started 2/1 favourite.

He had won a Grade 2 on seasonal debut

Then won the Christmas Hurdle beating The New One

Then another grade 2 before it.


Had festival form behind Yorkhil (who went on to win at that years festival).



I don't think it wasas weak as this year by a long way (at this stage)?


Not that it matters

Then won the Christmas Hurdle beating The New One

Case dismissed.

It's not a misnomer at all.

It's more modus operandi.



Benie is less likely to divert to the Champion Hurdle in my opinion because it'd leave Honeysuckle as fav in the Mares race...

If Honeysuckle connections said they were going CH she'd then definitely go to the Mares too....


So she's going the Mares (I haven't managed to convince myself with this theory yet)

[Kevloaf]

Case dismissed.

How are we pricing up The New One versus Silver Streak?



This division is awful.

Supplement Faugheen.

[Quevega]

Benie's pace.
I've covered this before I think but.
Espoir Dallen jumping 3rd last to 2nd last 18 seconds. 2nd last to last 27 secs
Benie - for same 18 secs and 26 secs.

I did the same comparison on annie power the year before her champion hurdle when she'd fallen at the last.
Cos loads of muggy twats said she didn't have the speed.

misnomer was used by myself (almost like a misnomer) incorrectly. I agree

I think what I was trying to say was it's similar to saying a horse will run faster on good ground.
It's just an obvious thing to say.
Lots of Gold cup runners would have a better chance in the Ryanair but they won't necessarily tun there.

[Faugheen_Machine]

It's an awful race isn't it!

Just scrolled down the list putting a line threw them all for one reason or another.

Supasundae is the most attractive at the prices but he's a 10 year old.

Would they supplement Melon?

Yeah I'm not any where near saying she doesn't have the speed.

I've already backed her as I think she'd win it.

I just thought there was no chance unless Mullins has no other options, I didn't expect that news to come in one go either!

Sharjah disappointing LTO has thrown it wide open.



Obviously playing the exchange when you did when it was very much against the grain has paid dividends.

Samcro would be good banter by Gordon after the last 2 years

I nearly posted about Melon earlier when someone mentioned it but he's not quoted, so when he gets added it'll be his 'proper' price probably and he's a bottle job of a horse anyway.

Laurina and Apple's Jade too
