2022 Mares Hurdle

[BigChaang]

Although I'm keen on Concertista for the Mares Chase it's been quite telling how little Willie has mentioned her for the Mares Chase. Even the other day he said she jumped fences and hurdles. He seems to have a very soft spot for Elimay too. She's definitely one to watch on the exchanges for this.

The Owners have Zambella in the mares chase as well , so maybe a thought as to splitting them up ??.

I’ve said this for a while now. Why on earth would you run in a grade 2 race that your less likely to win than a grade 1 race. She’d have to give seasoned chasers elimay and mount ida 3lbs. For a horse clearly lacking in chasing experience why would you be schooling her over hurdles and fences. It wouldn’t surprise at all if she switches and theyve had no intention of running her in the chase all along

Not a bad point until the last sentence.

NRNB for this doubled with Elimay / Mount Ida and any other Mares Chase horses would have been / would be worth considering.

Looks like a typo from the Journalist, more than anything.
I'm watching the lay side of the mares chase and nothing is happening.

Thought Townend might actually pick her if she ran. Slightly disappointed but at least she's in.

Lots of pace on. HHU, SI and BV could make it a good test. We will definitely know if EIR stays but Townend picking SI puts me off all of Mullins lot.

Agree. SI has already had two pops at the race and failed so I don't see any of Mullins mob winning. Telmesomethinggirl's to lose. Trained to the minute for this race all season.

Patrick on EIR. Going for a bias positive here, 1/1 on her...

[Irish Rugby]

I couldn't have Stormy Ireland but with Paul T opting for her, you would think she is the one pleasing the yard closest to the race, which is something Willie always uses as an argument for making late decisions. That's interesting, as the vibes from the stable appeared to favour Burning Victory in recent weeks. Looks like they are still trying to find out about EIR.
