2022 Stayers Hurdle

[opatcho]

Burning Victory in the 3m hcap hurdle at the DRF. You’d expect her to be winning that to have much chance here. She’s 25/1 with PP/BF for that FWIW

I dont expect her to win this weekend, tbh I'd be happy to see her travel well, get pushed and pick off a few as they approach the finishing line. Finishing in the top 6 would be a great run for her

Why? She'll be carrying 11-8 with no mare allowance in what is normally a extremely competitive handicap, particularly over in Ireland during the Dublin Racing Festival.
Previous winners of this race have carried 9-8, 10-3, 10-12. Last year the top 6 where 9-8, 10-12, 10-9, 9-13, 10-7, with Koshari carrying 11-4

The Staying Hurdle division appears to be on a decline, with last years renewal being taken by an improving handicapper with another handicapper finishing second.

There's a reason why they are keeping her over 3 miles. It could be that she's limited trip wise and we'll find out she's not good enough, but there's been flashes of potential in her form to suggest she's more than half decent and with allowance and also age on here side, she could out run her odds

NRNB 33/1 was a nice little bet to have. She runs terrible this weekend, likely to get money back. She runs really well (top 6 finish being beaten by well handicapped types), then I'm happy with my current position

Am I missing something she’s not in the 5 day entries? I think it’ll be the Quevega then onto the Mares Hurdle.

365 haven't given me my money back for McFbulous yet.

You don't deserve it back after backing him !

Trainer states Indefatigable likely to run here over Mares Hurdle as extra distance will suit. Place chances on previous Festival form.

Big price for a festival winner at 66/1 perhaps?

Absolutely. His Cheltenham record is quite incredible. Loves the place .

I have written a ratings review of the last 10 years on the STAYERS, and what the 1st three home in those races, achieved before they ran in those races.

Then compared to what the current Stayers entrants have achieved.

Klassical Dream at 5/1 NRNB is some of the best value left on offer, perfect for e/w multiples too!

Completely agree on the value bit. But not e/w for me. Doesn’t he win or get beaten 40 lengths?

Himself & Flooring Porter could be 40 lengths ahead of the pack but even that’s a stretch for me, Thistlecrack was the most dominant winner I can remember in recent years but even then I had to close my eyes when he was approaching the last as he was a lynchpin for me that year!

Edit: make that a very big stretch despite me Flooring some porter of my own tonight! 40 lengths my hoop

[Benjy23]

Aye, not an e/w bet for me. Appreciate he was actually placed in a crap race LTO but generally speaking he's an all or nothing type of horse.

Sorry, I meant he’d win (non specific distance) or finish way back (40 lengths). Can’t see him finishing second and running quite well for example.
