2022 Champion Hurdle

Has EIR ever put in a performance that puts her anywhere near this race?

No but Willie must see something to keep persevering at this level. I think today's race is pivotal to how she's campaigned in future.

Willies blog comment on EIR for today: Echoes In Rain (Paul) has a big task in front of her. A first time tongue strap should help and hopefully she might improve her breeding value by finishing in the first three.

Can’t help thinking Zanihiyr isn’t far off Honeysuckle here, improved with ever run this year, could well go close today and has the potential to shake up the Champion Hurdle market for me…

I did find it interesting that in both Elliott interviews I heard this week he was keen to mention how much he was looking forward to seeing Zanahiyr run. Could be nothing, but did wonder if he was quietly confident.

Yes, think thats fair.
He does look to be fast improver to me.
Whether thats fast enough to challenge this year im not sure, but i have taken the 25 on offer for today and March.

Should edit this as i do think hes proved he can challenge, but i was meaning more of improving past Honey.

25s seems fair CaT.
I might have to find a way of having a small play there…

6/1 with WH NRNB in the without market is the bravest I can see myself going....

I claimed that a week or so back, I was too slow but it was 15/2…

That's the bet for me.

[Carnage at Taunton]

That's the bet for me.

I expect that to shorten after today.

Thanks for the reminder. Done the Saint Roi one at 12/1.

[Altior]

Quietly confident the mare gets done today.

Mods, surely this constitutes grounds for a ban?

Who by Altior - where's your money going?



Will join the mighty Istabraq and Hurricane Fly as just the 3rd, 3x winner of the Irish Champion Hurdle if she wins today.
